The Marxist Hijacking of White College-Educated Women: A Threat to Family and Freedom

By Brannon Howse

On March 20, 2025, I opened Worldview Radio with a headline from Townhall.com that’s as provocative as it is revealing: “Here’s the Graph Showing White College Educated Women Have Gone Totally Insane.” Now, that’s Matt Vespa’s wording, not mine, but it’s a stark entry point into a truth I’ve been hammering for decades: cultural Marxism has infiltrated our institutions—especially higher education—and it’s turning a key demographic against the very foundations of our constitutional republic: family, faith, and freedom.

Let me be clear upfront—my audience, largely women aged 50 to 65, isn’t who I’m talking about. You’re the exceptions, the ones who see through the lies. But NBC News dropped a poll that proves the point: 68% of white, college-educated women want to keep Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs alive. Meanwhile, white men with no degree, white men with degrees, and white women without degrees all say, by double digits, “End it.” What’s going on? Why is this one group so out of step? The answer lies in the Marxist playbook, executed through college campuses and feminist ideology.

The Marxist Roots of Feminism

Cultural Marxism isn’t a conspiracy theory—it’s history. The Frankfurt School landed in America in 1933, fleeing Nazi Germany with a mission to dismantle our Judeo-Christian underpinnings. Herbert Marcuse, who coined “make love, not war,” wrote Eros and Civilization, pushing sexual “freedom” as a weapon to erode morality. Their goal? Destroy the patriarchal family, masculinity, and patriotism—because they knew a nation of John Waynes and Ronald Reagans would never fall to a Marxist revolution.

Enter Betty Friedan, a Marxist since her Smith College days in the late 1930s. Her 1963 book, The Feminine Mystique, became feminism’s manifesto, but she hid her radical past—years spent agitating for leftist causes like the Popular Front and UE News—because she knew tying it to Marx’s Communist Manifesto would tank her credibility. Yet her agenda was clear: tear down the family. As I wrote in Grave Influence (2009, just $2 at worldviewstore.com or free in the Vault at worldviewtube.com/vault), feminism isn’t about equal rights—it’s about feminizing men, demonizing fathers, and obliterating the family unit.

Feminists like Simone de Beauvoir admitted it outright: “No woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children… because too many women will make that choice.” Hillary Clinton echoed this in 1974, calling wifely “dependency” akin to slavery. Ruth Bader Ginsburg demanded laws based on “breadwinning husband, dependent homemaking wife” be wiped out. The message? Marriage enslaves, men oppress, and motherhood’s a trap. And where’s this gospel preached loudest? College classrooms.

Colleges: Ground Zero for Brainwashing

Why do white, college-educated women cling to DEI—aka cultural Marxism—while others reject it? Because they’ve been hijacked by a system designed to turn them against their own heritage. I’ve heard it from countless parents at Worldview Weekends since 1993: “We lost our kids in college. They came back liberal Marxists, despising our values.” The Frankfurt School knew education and media were the keys to a “diffused and dispersed disintegration of the system,” as Marcuse put it. They didn’t need guns—they needed professors.

The tactic is sinister but brilliant. Flood campuses with lies: marriage is slavery, masculinity is toxic, capitalism is greed. Then push sexual “liberation”—get kids into perversion to sear their consciences, isolate them from family, and bind them to like-minded rebels. It’s the Nazi SS playbook—force young recruits into atrocities so they “can’t go back.” Today’s college kids don’t come home for movie night anymore—they’re too ashamed, too indoctrinated. And white women, often from middle-class “bourgeoisie” homes Marxists should hate, lap it up—ironic, since blue-collar workers, the supposed “proletariat,” see through the scam.

The Proletariat Rejects the Lie

That’s the kicker. White men without degrees—plumbers, electricians, HVAC guys—are the most anti-Marxist demographic. Why? They’ve lived the free market, not just studied it. They’ve put their hands to the plow, as Scripture says, and built wealth over time. They’ve started businesses, sacrificed, and succeeded without a diploma—some selling to big firms for millions. The Millionaire Next Door nailed it: service-oriented trades breed millionaires. These men don’t need equity handed to them—they’ve earned it. And they’re sick of being told their skin color and masculinity make them villains.

Contrast that with the college crowd. DEI promises “equity”—a buzzword for socialism—but it’s a fantasy. Imagine busting your back for 30 years to build a business, driving a beat-up car to reinvest every dime, only for some kid fresh out of school to demand “equity” after two years. That’s not fairness—it’s theft. Cuba tried it—doctors and sanitation workers paid the same. Did it inspire excellence? No, it killed it. Yet 68% of white, college-educated women cheer for it. Why? They’ve been brainwashed to hate the system that built their privilege.

The Family Under Siege

This isn’t abstract—it’s personal. Callers like Rick from Arkansas, whose stay-at-home mom made his childhood “awesome,” and Pam, who ditched her degree to raise kids she’s proud of, prove the lie’s weakness. Pam felt “less than” for years under feminist pressure, but now sees young women in her Bible study returning to that model. Why? They’ve watched their parents’ marriages collapse under Marxist “independence.” Satan’s lie, as Pam put it, is equity—God says there’s no fairness in a fallen world, only grace and hard work.

The family’s the target because it’s God’s first institution, the seedbed of civil government. Corrupt families, and you corrupt the republic. Khrushchev bragged our kids would fall “like overripe fruit” once education turned them against us. DEI, white privilege, toxic masculinity—it’s all cultural Marxism, tearing down what God built to “build back better” a socialist dystopia.

The Way Forward

So what do we do? First, expose the root: Marxism’s war on family and faith. Get Grave Influence—$2 or free in the Vault—and arm yourself with the facts. Second, protect your kids from college indoctrination—teach them trades, values, and truth early. Third, support voices like ours at worldviewfoundation.com—we’re not just griping about symptoms; we’re digging to the worldview core.

White, college-educated women aren’t “insane”—they’re casualties of a demonic lie. But the blue-collar backbone of America, and moms like Rick’s and Pam’s, show the truth still wins. Let’s keep fighting for it.
