Campus Craziness

{These musings are not provided in any particular sequence.}

Problems at Colleges/Universities are legion, manifest by students, teachers and administrators; they are routinely interlaced with anti-America/anti-Jewish motivations, and they often threaten those who try to protest via the “Cancel Culture” mechanism (as amply documented by the Legal Insurrection Foundation led by @ Columbia Law School William A. Jacobson, Esq.

Already provided is **Overwhelming evidence of Jew-Hatred on college/university campuses, both in USA and globally**; aggregated here are generic manifestations of free-speech suppression, cancel culture, absence of diversity, Chinese infiltration, and efforts by The Donald to fight the Culture War in this venue.

Trump Signed an Executive Order Combating Anti-Semitism, particularly on campus; the BDS movement animates much of this nefarious activity, as illustrated by this vignette: “One of the smallest organized sections of the American Political Science Association (which has nearly 15,000 members in total) was to be ‘discussing’ whether to boycott Israel’s academic institutions at a special meeting dedicated for this purpose at the APSA’s annual conference in Washington D.C. The Academic Engagement Network, a 700-member faculty organization, mobilized political scientists to challenge this latest affront to academic freedom; it wrote a letter to the APSA Executive Director urging him to ensure that the ‘discussion’ of the bigoted and discriminatory BDS resolution not be lopsided, and that there be ample time for opponents to share their views.” [Syracuse University Showed Why Trump’s Order On Combating Anti-Semitism Was Sorely Needed.]

even on campus [ONE DEAD IN COASTAL CAROLINA UNIVERSITY’S SECOND SHOOTING THIS YEAR];

The Canadian educational system is infested, both on campus [McMaster University Students Have Published Hundreds of Posts Exalting Hitler; a Canadian University Fed the False Muslim Victimhood Narrative; and a failed Muslim school trustee candidate falsely claimed to be victim of racist death threats] and in K-12 [a BRITISH COLUMBIA SCHOOL WILL NOT ALLOW JEWISH DECORATIONS FOR HANNUKAH, DESPITE NUMEROUS BC SCHOOLS BEING ALLOWED TO HAVE MUSLIM PRAYER ROOMS and a Toronto School Removed Jewish Heritage Month Banner.]

The IRS can rein in Radical Islam and Anti-Israel propaganda courses at universities and at taxpayer-funded anti-Israel events that characteristically (noting one at UMass) feature anti-Israel speakers and thus predictably lack a ‘range of perspectives.’ [Also reflecting desire to cleanse history from the campus is the fact that UC Santa Cruz Will Remove ‘Offensive’ Bells from Campus.}

Leftie dominance persists on college campuses, promulgated by students:  [1]—the UF student president faced impeachment threat over Trump Jr. visit, but the effort failed; [2]—the College Newspaper That Apologized for Covering News Also Won’t Print Another Point of View and, indeed, the Daily Northwestern Editor-in-Chief Hid in his Office to Dodge Free Beacon Questions; [3]—Students at Williams College boycotted their English Department over alleged racism, since too many white authors remained in the curriculum; [4]—a Feminist Group at Portland State University Barred White People From its Weekly Meeting; [5]—an Anti-Trump Mob Attacked and Taunted Conservative Students at Binghamton University; [6]—Undercover FBI agents said a Chicago college student tried to write code for ISIS; [7]—A Woke Student at the University of Michigan Trashed a Conservative Display claiming it was hate-speech; [8]—Student Govt. at Grand Valley State U. Voted to Remove the Pledge of Allegiance From Meetings, after which it restored it; [9]—a mob of leftist protesters harassed two conservative students trying to promote a political club; [10]—Harvard Divestment Activists Poured Molasses on Themselves to Symbolize an Oil Spill and Harvard Students Occupied a Building Demanding Creation of an ‘Ethnic Studies’ Department; [11]—the Harvard-Yale football game was suspended after Climate freaks staged a protest in the middle of the field, also demanding Cancelation of Puerto Rico’s Debt; [12]—a South Florida student was accused of planning a terrorist attack; [13]—Students at Washington and Lee U. Want Washington and Lee Removed From Diplomas; [14]—Oberlin Students Erected a memorial to Palestinian Terrorists; [15]—MCGILL UNIVERSITY STUDENT GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO OUST JEWISH REPRESENTATIVE FOR ACCEPTING HILLEL-SPONSORED ISRAEL TRIP; [16]—Carnegie Mellon Students Want to Ban Company From Job Fairs Over Ties to ICE; [17]—Attendance is Light for ‘Adulting’ Courses Offered at Kansas State; [18]—students feel oppressed at Bucknell and Holy Cross; [19]—an ex-liberal who helped found the WalkAway movement, was swarmed by Dem Student protesters as he prepared to host a discussion at the university campus; [20]—Northwestern Students Who Allegedly Disrupted Jeff Sessions Speech Get Citations; [21]—Washington College Students marched to Protest Microaggressions and Biases; [22]—Saudi Student in New Mexico was arrested With Handgun & Hit List; [23]—Rutgers University Hosts Event With Puppies and Kittens to Help Students Through exams; [24]—Faculty Members at Syracuse University Call for More Courses on diversity; [25]—Virginia Governor Ralph Northam Announced ‘Free’ Community College Program; and [26]—PC-behavior is so rampant that SNL Comedian Pete Davidson Will No Longer Perform at Colleges.]

 

The origins of this facet of the Culture Wars may be based on the fact that most colleges seem interested in all kinds of diversity that lifts their numbers of people of color, despite the fact that real diversity is something else, for rural America gets left out almost everywhere. Indeed, a compelling interest of colleges/universities to increase diversity is neither to enhance the intellectual diversity among faculty nor to admit rural whites who would be the first in their family to attend college and who might have political views and life experiences that differ from those of other students; their preference is to admit “students of color.” This is why it is reprehensible that Ideology was more important than integrity to the Los Angeles Times editorial board regarding the Janet Napolitano scandal, that Lefties @ the U. of Wyoming tried to shut-down a speech by Dennis Prager (fearful that students might hear alternative viewpoints), and that Swarthmore College Introduced a ‘Queering the Bible’ Course.

 

Some propose that a remedy for the educational system, to enhance the possibility of intellectual diversity among college/university faculties, would be to cut the taxpayer subsidy to higher ed; this will not remedy the entire problem, for the Culture Wars must be fought (literally and figuratively) on multiple fronts; there is no justification to limit such efforts, when infestation has been ID’ed where least expected (political correctness and identity politics even seem to dominate the Air Force Academy).

 

Trump Nominee Would Be Disaster for Campus Sexual Assault Victims, but he must confront Amherst College’s PC policeBard College’s having encouraged students to use ‘Ze, Zim, Zir’ Pronouns, and petting zoos to relieve stress during exam weeks that are trivial compared to some of  new “additions.” The Administration must also, predictably, debunk false claims (c/o MSNBC/CNN and the DbM) that TRUMP IS TO BLAME FOR THE COLLEGE BRIBERY SCANDAL; know that favoritism may have benefited Malia, Michelle, Barack. As a result of such tumult, perhaps, Merrimack College in Massachusetts [which had a role to play in a heinous effort to silence conservative media, to be detailed in the future] is finally Offering ‘Real-World Learning’ In the Form of A Social Justice Degree!

Leftie dominance persists on college campuses, promulgated by administrators:  [1]—a University President Said Removing the 21-Gun Salute on Veterans Day Was a Mistake; [2]—the Women and Gender Studies Department at Rutgers is Now Offering a Social Justice Track; [3]—Boston College Students and Faculty Want the School to Reject Koch Foundation Funding; [4]—a University Group Aims to Help White Employees Combat Their Racism; [5]—a Rutgers Prof Tweeted that FOX News is Fascist and that the GOP is an Existential Threat to U.S.; [6]—Columbia University is To Vote On Divesting From Israel and Announced a Scholarship Program for Refugees and Displaced Students; [7]—Michigan State Published an Article Calling Thanksgiving a ‘National Day of Mourning’; [8]—a University Employee was Placed on Leave After Saying “Don’t bring too many white students around”; [9]—Brown University committee on corporate responsibility votes in favor of BDS; [11]—the University of Scranton failed to recognize the conservative student club; [12]—A New UCLA Course Teaches ‘Storytelling for Social Justice’; [13]—A Math Professor at UC Davis is Under Fire for Opposing ‘Diversity Statements’; [14]—A Prof was Charged for Allegedly Sending Herself Threats Over Cancellation of Degree Program; [15]—College of New Jersey Advised White Students to Think About Their Racial Privilege; [16]—Palestinian Islamic Jihad was Commemorated at Oberlin; [17]—Portland State University is Offering ‘Queer Ecologies’ Class; [18]—Social Justice Requirements Cost College Students Billions Per Year; [19]—a College faculty board blasted a conservative student group despite documented examples of leftists assaulting and harassing conservatives on campus; [20]—A Columbia University Prof Suggested Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a Queer Icon; and [21]—an eastern European professor in the Columbia theater department resigned, saying the school is becoming like a university under communism with pressure from social justice warriors.

 

The protesters’ veto has been alive and well, as American Academia Panders to Radicals and Curbing Free Speech; for example, Arthur Laffer’s Binghamton College Speech was Shut Down By Protesters (this being New York State’s most prestigious state school), as FIRE properly termed this the “Latest in a Disturbing Trend of Protesters Silencing Others.” After College Republicans at Berkeley Said Posters for an Ann Coulter Visit were Being Torn Down, it was discovered that the Berkeley Chancellor Promoted an Anti-Hate Event Scheduled at Same Time as the Ann Coulter Visit[RBS1] [RBS2] [RBS3] [RBS4] . In Catholic Universities, free speech was supported at Assumption College and opposed at Notre Dame; a Speaker at a Christian University told students to hide illegal aliens in churches because ‘ICE will not raid a church.’ And not to be ignored, this phenomenon has become manifest north of the border at York University (Toronto). Again revealing her graciousness, BALTIMORE STUDENTS BOO’ED MELANIA TRUMP BEFORE REMARKS ON OPIOID CRISIS; ignored in this context is the fact that, Following a Rash of Student OD Deaths, a USC Student/Admissions Employee Arrested for Selling Meth. [In contrast, it’s OK that the U. of Minnesota Canceled Bloomberg Lecture Over his Likely Presidential Run.]

On Friday, noted were problems persisting in the realm of Education where the “Cancel Culture” flourishes and leftie-snowflakes rule [noting confluence of Denialism, the Academy, and AOC]; undermining the stated intent to promote “diversity,” FEW (if any) university history departments employ Republicans [an insane academic atmosphere satirized by ‘Campusland’]. The need to Bring Conservatism Back to Colleges has never been greater, for Secularism Fuels Campus Outrage; Victor Davis Hanson has elucidated how American Students Got woke. Even STEM-studies aren’t immune, noting that an engineering professor claimed Academic rigor enforces ‘white male heterosexual privilege’; these tragedies in the Academy are compounded by tenure and idea laundering. Due to burgeoning Jew-hatred, Trump Signed an Executive Order Combating Anti-Semitism; unfortunately, Leftie dominance persists on college campuses, promulgated by students (26 examples) and administrators (21 examples), despite the protesters’ veto that is due to American Academia Pandering to Radicals and Curbing Free Speech.

As the Federal Government Funds Worthless College Degrees, it has been recognized that Separating Federal College Loans From USDOE Is A Step In The Right Direction; the Dems’ Higher Ed Plan Is Garbage, But Republicans Aren’t Even Competing With It. Meanwhile, Increasingly Vicious Anti-Jew Campus Protests abound, as they disguise bigotry behind flowery manipulations of the truth and exude violence  [College Republican President was Attacked at Sacramento State and Michigan high school student claimed teacher assaulted her, pulling a ‘Women for Trump’ pin from her shirt]; obviously, Higher Ed’s Free Speech Violations remain insufficiently analyzed. The “kicker” notes how, as Colleges Move To Do Away With The SAT In The Name Of Diversity, a Detroit High School valedictorian Struggled With Low-Level Math; Students’ Test Scores Unchanged After Decades of Federal Intervention in Ed
