@JenNWCbus @thespybrief Yes, you are right, acknowledged. My point is that there is a difference between diffuse racist teaching (still bad) versus universities baking anti-white and anti-Semitic racism into systems of grants/hiring/ curriculum/future educators. These are oceans of difference in scope.

@JenNWCbus @thespybrief Ohio has a problem with a group of homeschoolers and anti-Semitism definitely. But, public education not immune due to problems reported in the news about the anti-Semitism issues at Ohio State. ADL shows anti-Semitism significantly rising all over US https://t.co/aP5j2mhaqn

@JenNWCbus @thespybrief True, homeschooling not ideal for most kids. But woke indoctrination (some good, much bad) is all pervasive. It is a key strategic priority for countless universities, adulterating all hiring, research, grants and curriculum. It went from Unis to k-12 to zommers to alphas.

@thespybrief To understand part of the anti-Semitism problem of today's youth, it helps to know how woke Ed colleges are at unis producing all the k-12 teachers.

I never knew the truth about Mao's Cultural Revolution and The Great Famine until I came to the U.S. I was lied to for the 24 years living in China.

I personally know how the centralized education and state-controlled media works to control the minds of the people.

I have been educating the youth about horrors of communism with the other survivors, but we are against a giant propaganda machine to promote government is the solution to everything.

We must abolish Federal Dept. of Education and stop funding media companies.

@belmont_iii @thespybrief True. Though the narcissism of it all is dystopian yet on point with today's me, social media generation. I study: x race or ethnicity, with x sexual preferences, of x gender, and x neuro divergent thinking, with x mental health issue (anxiety), because well, that is what I am.

@MyBrainTest @thespybrief How it works: DEI Admins announce "cluster hires in"...fill in ur favorite identity genre. Programs compete for them or don't hire & shrink. Departments rapidly overrun by activists hiring more of same. DEI admins emboldened to shift more positions for DEI hires. Repeat annually

Why did Harris lose? My take: Democrats blew it by making three big mistakes—not taking immigration concerns seriously enough, rallying around prosecutions of Trump, and elevating identity politics

@visegrad24 Missed: In one blazing move, Israel permanently brands hundreds of Hezbollah operatives with a watermark of their terrorist affiliation.

A few words about the protests/encampments at Columbia:

Back in December 2018, when I was a junior, a white student named Julian Von Abele was filmed going on an ethno-centric rant about how much he loved white people. He said things like: “White people are the best thing that ever happened to the world,” and “We invented science and industry, and you want to tell us to stop because ‘Oh My God we’re so bad’”. He was careful to add the caveat: “I don’t hate other people. I just love white men”.

The video went viral on campus. He was unanimously condemned: by students, professors and administrators alike. He was even banned from Barnard’s campus––though the “incident” didn’t even happen on Barnard’s campus.

Race pride is the opiate of weak individuals. I have always thought so. Nevertheless, I defended Julian at the time––not on the grounds that he was right, but on the grounds that he had every right to express his dumb beliefs without fear of being disciplined or banned from a campus for doing so. I don’t recall anyone at Columbia who publicly came to his defense at the time.

Fast forward 5 years: we now have Columbia students chanting “Globalize the Intifada” and “From the River to the Sea” en masse. To my ear, these slogans suggest support for, at minimum, violence against Jewish civilians in Israel––much worse than anything Von Abele advocated. Yet all the same people who were silent or supportive of his cancellation have suddenly discovered the virtues of unbridled free speech. Forgive me if I don’t believe it for a second.

Let’s not deceive ourselves into thinking that any of these people value liberal principles. They don’t. They believe in the destruction of Israel––which they erroneously categorize as an colonialist entity––and they will use every liberal principle, selectively and cynically, to further that goal.

But let me be clear: I completely support their right to say all of these slogans. Students should be allowed to chant “Globalize the Intifada” and “From the River to the Sea”. These are slogans whose meaning is contested. What it means to your ear is not necessarily what it means to an idiotic Columbia student whose only knowledge of the Israel-Palestine conflict comes from Instagram posts also made by idiots.

Free speech is never about protecting speech you agree with. It’s always about protecting speech you hate. That is precisely the speech which needs protecting. Having defended the Von Abele’s of the world, no one will accuse me of being a hypocrite.

Of course, when they cross the line from speech into prohibited actions––creating zones where certain kinds of students (e.g., Zionists) can’t enter; human chains that prevent freedom of movement for other students; harassment/stalking of specific students, and so forth––then they must be disciplined to the full extent of campus policy and the law. If they want to get arrested or expelled, then schools and police should grant that wish without a hint of guilt. Let them explain to their parents why they threw away $70,000/year over a foreign conflict that they barely understand.

Still, the punchline must be: Hypocrites deserve free speech too.

@JenNWCbus Among the neo-progressive West, anti-Semitism is coupled to anti-whiteness. In the Middle East it is Anti-West.

Will 2024 be 1968 all over again?

You get more of what you encourage, per the hoary cliché, and if Democrats keep treating domestic terrorism as a youthful indiscretion on the road to progress, we will soon be experiencing more of it.

What we are witnessing is the complete subversion of our universities. We don’t produce academic professionals, but professional activists. Condemnations are not enough to fix this. People and institutions must be punished. Read my latest:

@thespybrief Aligned &powerful coalitions of admin+faculty singularly focused on advancing critical progressive ideologies through repeated hiring of same-same activists. Forced shifts in pedagogies across all disciplines to transform curricula & drown students in costly coded language &ideas

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Students have a right to peacefully protest & demonstrate on campus in support of any cause, but students don’t have a right to harass & bully students for any reason, so consider this:

If a group of white supremacist students harassed & threatened black students on campus, all Democrats & all of the media would rightly be all over it, 24/7, nonstop. College Presidents & faculty wouldn’t tolerate it.

If a group of conservative students harassed & threatened transgender students on campus, all Democrats & all of the media would rightly be all over it, 24/7, nonstop. College Presidents & faculty wouldn’t tolerate it.

Pro-Palestinian students have been harassing & threatening Jewish students on campuses for months, and way too many Democrats & way too much of the media have been way too silent. They’ve been conflicted. Too often, they’ve looked the other way. College Presidents have been afraid to address it. College faculties have too often supported & joined in the harassment.

Democrats & the media & college Presidents have some real soul searching to do. College faculties need an immediate infusion of diversity of thought.
