Eagle Forum Wonders, "Is Arizona State Promoting a Left-Wing Agenda?"
Submitted by Brian on April 15, 2011 - 2:02pm
Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum Collegians is on the case to investigate whether Arizona State University is promoting socialism…through a sports motto. If the SunDevil wasn’t bad enough, a video celebrating the college’s sports teams ends with an image of a clenched fist with the Sun Devil’s pitchfork that turns into the college’s pitchfork hand gesture. But Eagle Forum finds a far more nefarious message in the video, accusing the school of trying “to communicate its traditional leftist message on the ASU campus” by using “a symbol of socialism, communism, and other extreme left-wing organizations”:
Is Arizona State Promoting a Left-Wing Agenda?
The Sun Devils of ASU are gearing up for this year’s football season with redesigned uniforms and logos. The school is promoting this greatly anticipated change with several YouTube videos.
Several of these videos end with an image of a clenched fist. After a second or two, the fist lifts three fingers, turning into the Sun Devil’s “pitchfork” hand-symbol.
The raised fist is a symbol of socialism, communism, and other extreme left-wing organizations, according to Wikipedia, It was first used as the emblem of the Red Front Fighter’s League of the Communist Party of Germany in 1932 and has since been used by groups such as the Black Panther Party and the Socialist Workers Party of the UK.
Why would ASU choose to put a symbol representing left-wing organizations at the end of a video promoting its football team?Will this symbol be used to express the Sun Devil's team spirit or will it continue to communicate its traditional leftist message on the ASU campus?

Do you think they are attempting to ramp up traditional mistrust of "educated elites" by picking on SPORTS TEAMS -- teams that promote a form of "collectivism"? Always remember --- "There is no 'I' in TEAM." -- those coaches are the true subversives, promoting blind obedience, collectivism, and SELF SACRIFICE.
I guess we need "more God" and LESS SPORTS if we want to be good "Ayn Randian Supermen" -- that is, tools.
