North Korean defector says 'even North Korea was not this nuts' after attending Ivy League school
"I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think," Park said in an interview with Fox News. "I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying."
>Those similarities include anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness.
> During orientation, she was scolded by a university staff member for admitting she enjoyed classic literature such as Jane Austen.
>”They said, 'Did you know those writers had a colonial mindset? They were racists and bigots and are subconsciously brainwashing you.’"
> She was also shocked and confused by issues surrounding gender and language, with every class asking students to announce their preferred pronouns.
> "It was chaos," said Yeonmi. "It felt like the regression in civilization."
>"Even North Korea is not this nuts," she admitted. "North Korea was pretty crazy, but not this crazy."
