Back in the late 1960s, radical students on many college campuses knew they could pretty much do whatever they wanted to do in the name of anti-Vietnam War protests. Now that radical defiance is back in America. William's college in Massachusetts is a fine school with an impressive educational legacy, but a radical group on campus called the Coalition Against Racist Education is bringing insanity to Williams. Among the group's demands are these, that the school pay reparations for slavery and for seizing Native American land, that Williams immediately provide $34,000 to support Heritage Month events that the

radicals are running. That the college provide free weekend travel to New York City and Boston for minorities on the faculty. That separate housing be given to blacks and gays on campus. That free therapy also be given to blacks and gays. And on and on. Now, if the president and board of directors of Williams give into any of this stuff, the college will be gravely damaged. It's not the purview of a college administration to cave in to partisan demands by any group. It is obvious that across this country, radical left students are emboldened, and many of them are totalitarians, refusing to listen to any other point of view, demanding that conservative speakers not be heard. We have not gotten to the level of violence yet, mainly

because many college presidents simply give in to the madness. And there are a lot of radical faculty members. In fact, studies show that only 10% of college professors in America are registered Republicans. And that's amazing. And that's not diversity. Now, radical college students hide behind social justice. This reparations for slavery is a perfect example of that. William's college, doesn't have enough endowment to give cash payments to African Americans in Massachusetts or anywhere else. And Williams College was not responsible for slavery. Every institution in America has done bad things in its history. We are not perfect people. But radical students who obviously are not perfect themselves feel that they are in the right to demand insane

things. Now, I don't want to be Dean Wormer of the movie Animal House and put anyone on double secret probation, but this stuff has really got to stop because parents and many students themselves through loans are paying extraordinary amounts of money to attend college. Williams College, the fees can get up past $70,000 a year. And if I'm going there, I don't want a bunch of loons running around telling me what to do. So it's long past time for college presidents and boards of directors to stand up to radical movements on either side. No one would put up with neo-Nazis doing this kind of stuff on campus.

Why should they put up with the radical left? For more analysis, you can go to Bill O'Reilly.com, where you're can actually see me. And we'll be right back with May Day. Many financial experts believe we are in a hidden recession. And make no mistake, they are worried. Some of these experts work for the largest banks in the country, names you'd surely recognize.

It is May 1st, and in many parts of the world, they're celebrating May Day, also known as International Workers' Day. If you feel that has communist overtones, you are correct. The holiday was first declared in Paris in 1889 by a gathering of various Marxist and socialist groups

called the International Socialist Conference. While the holiday is the creation of international communists, its roots are actually right here in America. The day May 1st was chosen to commemorate the so-called haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago three years earlier, 1880. On that day, seven police officers were killed by a bomb as they attempted to break up a labor demonstration in Chicago's Haymarket Square. In the ensuing confusion, police fired on the demonstrators, killing at least four of them and wounding dozens more. An awful moment in American history. If May Day was established to commemorate an incident that happened right here in the USA, why don't Americans celebrate it? Well, you can thank President Grover Cleveland for that.

In the 1890s, American labor organizations were debating which day America should choose to celebrate its working men and women. The argument fell into two camps, one favoring a date in September and the other favoring May for its political significance in Chicago. In the end, President Cleveland, a conservative Democrat, believed that celebrating American workers alongside international socialism might prove unwise. and ultimately signed a bill designating the first Monday in September as the federal holiday we know as Labor Day. While we might not celebrate International Workers Day here in America, we do have something to celebrate. In response to May Day's significance in the Soviet Union, President Dwight Eisenhower declared the 1st of May Law Day. According to a joint congressional resolution passed in 1961, a codify law day, the 1st of May would be set aside annually for

Americans to appreciate their liberties. So while others around the world might be following a Marxist tradition on May 1st, we should use this opportunity to celebrate something uniquely American, the United States Constitution, and the liberties it guarantees. We will be back in a moment. If you are age 75 or older, and if you own a $100,000 life insurance policy or larger, I want you to get a pen and paper to write this information down.
