The Center for Campus Organizing (CCO) today released its 132 page book documenting Right-wing activity in academia: Uncovering the Right on Campus: a guide to resisting conservative attacks on equality and social justice. The book exposes right-wing attempts to control the debate on affirmative action, financial aid, feminism and gay rights.by way of funneling millions of dollars to student groups and newspapers.
Uncovering the Right on Campus is a culmination of four years of research aimed at blowing the cover on the myth that campus Right-wing movements grow naturally from the students. The book reveals how, despite their backing by millions of corporate dollars, conservative campus groups have yet to make an impact proportionate to their checkbook. Meanwhile, the numbers of progressive student activists are growing.
Uncovering the Right on Campus is written by the staff of the Center for Campus Organizing. CCO is a five-year-old organization dedicated to supporting social justice activism and alternative journalism on hundreds of college campuses across the country. CCO provides organizing assistance and distributes literature aimed at strengthening and unifying the progressive student movement. Uncovering the Right on Campus is an important tool to assist progressive students in their fight for social justice.
The budget cuts of the "Contract with America" were a recent example of Right-wing attempts to control education across the country. The Right Wing has been funding conservative campus groups at an annual rate of 10 to 20 million dollars since the 1980's in order to to buy influence on college campuses. For example, in 1994 the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation funded by Allen Bradley Corporation donated over a million dollars to conservative campus groups and the Castle Rock Foundation backed by the conservative Adolph Coors Foundation gave $225,000 in campus grants.
