Columbia Chaos Continues
Columbia President Minouche Shafik canceled in-person classes yesterday. Today, she announced that classes to indoctrinate students will be hybrid only for the rest of the semester.
So, unable to protect Jewish students and staff on Columbia’s campus, her solution is to shut it down and force all students back into Zoom indoctrination classes.
In other words, she surrendered to the mob. President Shafik has been morally tested, and she has failed.
One reporter at a conservative outlet said he felt safer walking the streets of Guatemala than he did on the campuses of Columbia and New York University, adding that the darkness and hatred envelop you as soon as you step foot on either campus.
I could solve this problem very quickly. Just announce that any student caught chanting calls for genocide or harassing other students based on their faith will be immediately expelled.
But Shafik’s surrender has not satisfied the extremists. She is now facing a censure resolution from a cadre of Columbia’s radical professors. Why? Because they fully support the anti-Semitic demonstrations.
Of course, they didn’t put it that way. They claim to be defending “academic freedom,” and they object to the presence of New York City police officers on Columbia’s campus.
Those radical professors were joined by dozens of Princeton professors who issued a “statement of solidarity” with Columbia’s rabid Jew-hating students.
Meanwhile, at least 60 radical anti-Israel demonstrators at Yale were arrested yesterday. And they have supporters, too. According to the New York Times, “more than 1,500 Yale alumni, students, and parents had signed a letter supporting the demonstrators.”
The moral failures happening on our university campuses should scare the hell out of every American!
These are our best students – so we’re told – at our most elite institutions of “higher learning.” They are future doctors, lawyers, CEOs, professors, and elected officials. They are being indoctrinated with hate – hate for Israel and hate for America.
These radical students and their radical professors are moral pygmies!
