The North Korean defector warned the United States is at risk of becoming a new North Korea because of the education offered in Ivy League institutions. Yeonmi Park said the “woke” curriculum being taught in top colleges could “absolutely” be compared to the “indoctrination” she received whilst she still lived in the rogue nation. Park reported a pattern of similarities between the educational system in the United States and in North Korea.
She said: “The things that I was learning at Columbia University really shocked me because it was the exact same thing that my North Korean teachers were brainwashing me in the classroom.
“They were literally saying that all the problems that we have are because of capitalism, because of white men, and the solution for all these problems is a communist revolution in the name of equity.
“It’s really funny to this day to me that somehow not having a problem is a problem.”
She lamented that former classmates often complained about issues despite them not being a problem and highlighted the stark difference between the opportunities offered to privileged US students compared to her countrymen.

Park continued: “They literally create a problem out of nowhere and create injustice out of thin air…
“Their oppression is that somehow we cannot catch up with their ever-growing non-grammatical pronouns, and that’s the biggest oppression they face.
“And they’ll continue somehow that there’s no free health care, no free education, no free house, no universal income, nothing is free in this world.
“And… I ask them like, what is it about America that you hate so much?”
