Tunnel of Oppression: Communist Theme Park
On college campuses, the “student programmers” could use with a bit of anger management. On my campus there is the obligatory Vagina Monologues sticking to the script of the “angry vaginas” and other pleasant scenes.
My university is also part of the growing movement to “educate” through “Tunnels of Oppression.”
Alas, benighted Lithuania hasn’t caught up with U.S. “higher” education. They actually have a tunnel of oppression that deals with communism under Soviet rule. In the U.S. academy this is known as “historical communism” (to distinguish it from the Real Thing).
At any rate, those of us stuck in the “late stage of capitalism” are disadvantaged by our freedom, yet we may experience “historical communist oppression” through this Communist Theme Park (trip to Lithuania not included):
