How Deep Is The Rot?

If you want some idea of how deep the rot at Columbia goes, just look at a recent vote held by the undergraduate student body:

• 77% voted for Columbia University to completely divest from Israel.
• 68% voted to close Columbia’s Tel Aviv Center.
• 65% voted to shut down Columbia’s dual-degree program with Tel Aviv University in Israel.

Clearly, the radical demonstrators setting up “No Jews Allowed” camps on campus are not just a fringe group. Anti-Semitism is pervasive at Columbia and it has been growing for years.

The extremism isn’t just isolated to the students. Columbia Professor Joseph Massad praised the October 7th Hamas massacre as “awesome” and “a stunning victory.”

Massad is not alone. America’s colleges and universities are full of left-wing extremists pretending to be “educators.”

According to a 2022 survey of Harvard’s faculty, 82% of professors self-identified as “very liberal” or “liberal.” Only 16% said they were “moderate,” and less than 2% identified as “conservative.” Not one professor claimed to be “very conservative.”

A nationwide survey of more than 7,000 professors found that self-identified Democrats outnumbered Republicans 12 to 1. (That is the same political ratio that Biden hopes the illegal aliens crossing his open borders will be when he eventually makes them citizens.)

Today’s colleges and universities are not “institutions of higher learning.” They are “re-education” and indoctrination camps. Saving America requires serious reforms in academia.
