How is Dana Cloud a danger to higher education? Let the first sentence for one of her communication course syllabi explain:

“Introduction: The main purpose of this class is to encourage your engagement with the tradition and ongoing practice of movements for social change in the United States.”

It won’t even educate about movements for social change, where there are enough courses doing so already. It will advocate your engagement in them.  Don’t get a job, go protest, and don't assume she'll have students protest limiting of 2nd Amendment rights or Planned Parenthood. 

However, her blog’s domain says it all of this radical academic though: txcommie.wordpress.com.  Then the banner says, “Dangerous and Loud Getting radical with Dana Cloud.” Typical.
