Oct 15, 2023 ~ Matthew Continetti, 'The Shame of Academe' You many have known that so called 'higher education' institutions are toxic cesspools of hate that would cancel you for using the wrong pronoun but many are sad to discover how much pure antisemitism exists on these campuses. Worse is that the same left wing groups are staging large anti-Israel, pro Hamas demonstrations all over the world in cities like NYC, London, Toronto, Sydney etc. Chanting antisemitic slogans including "Gas the Jews."
Oct 22, 2023 ~ Bill Maher explains why many colleges like Harvard have become worthless cesspools of left wing garbage.
"As an Ivy League graduate who knows the value of a liberal education, I have one piece of advice for the youth of America. Don’t go to college. And if you absolutely have to go, don’t go to an elite college, because as recent events have shown, it just makes you stupid. There are few if any positives to come out of what happened in Israel, but one of them opening America's eyes to how higher education has become indoctrination, among them the simplistic notion that the world is a binary place where everyone is either an oppressor or oppressed. In the case of Israel, oppressors being babies and bubas. The same students who will tell you that words are violence and silence is violence were very supportive when Hamas terrorists went on a rape and murder rampage worthy of the Vikings. They knew where to point the fingers; at the murdered, and then it was off to ethics class."
"Siding with terrorists," "34 student groups at Harvard signed a letter saying 'the apartheid regime is the only one to blame,' proving they don't know what constitutes apartheid. They don't know much of anything, actually. But it doesn’t deter them from having an opinion. They’ve convinced themselves Israel is the most repressive regime in history because they have no knowledge of history or even a desire to know it. And actual history doesn’t come up in their intersectionality of politics and gender queer identities class.”
“If ignorance is a disease, Harvard Yard is the Wuhan wet market. The reason why despising Israel became pretty much a requirement of the American Left is colleges, elite colleges, the mouth of the river from which this and all manner of radical Left illiberal, yes, illiberal nonsense flows. Supporting all-black, that is segregated dorms, segregated graduation ceremonies, and orientation programs, which occur on hundreds of campuses is illiberal. So is the racism against Asian applicants and chasing speakers off of campus. When the First Amendment watchdog group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression began ranking colleges based on their commitment to free speech and inquiry, Harvard came in dead last. There is only one set of acceptable opinions on campus, and it’s policed hard." "Elite schools should no longer be called elite. Just say expensive." Oddly, after excoriating Democrats and the left, Maher ends up attacking Republicans, perhaps annoyed that they figured all of this out long before he did?
Oct 23, 2023 ~ Marc Sarnoff, 'After Their Abysmal Response to the Hamas Attack, Universities Face a Reckoning' "The problem begins with spineless university administrators, who have consistently bowed to the woke tide of hateful speech from radical socialists. Universities that would fall over themselves to cancel a white-nationalist student group for excusing the murder of minorities have platformed student groups that blame Hamas’s attacks on the victims. Yale University, which allowed a professor’s career to be ruined for suggesting that students should be tolerant of each other’s Halloween costumes, has so far stood by a professor who wrote that 'Israel is a murderous, genocidal settler state and Palestinians have every right to resist through armed struggle.'"
Nov 5, 2023 ~ State University of New York at Albany sociology professor Renee Overdyke was arrested for violently disrupting a pro-life demonstration. She unplugged a projector and prevented the presentation and then she resisted arrest. This comes 2 weeks after a conservative speaker was shouted down and prevented to speak at the same university. The left despises free speech. They cannot allow any dissenting opinions to be heard. Its no mystery why.
Nov 5, 2023 ~ Clarice Feldman, 'Higher Ed: Now it’s Just Loco' Here's some of the things modern college kids (and other leftists) apparently support. "In one family, a first responder reported the husband was shot, the baby was placed in a burning hot oven, and the wife, to the screams of her dying child, was gang-raped and then killed." Another house, "The father's eye gouged out, the mother's breast cut off, the girl's foot amputated, the boy's fingers cut off before they were executed, and then their executioners sat down and had a meal."
Nov 9, 2023 ~ Jonathan Barth, 'New Report Uncovers The Sad State Of History Classes At American Universities'
"Many of the syllabi examined for this study were nakedly political. Most syllabi intensively focused on identity topics of race, gender, sexuality, queer theory, and militant social protest. The predominant takeaway for students in many of these classes was American history as a history of exclusion, chiefly organized around identity.
Neglected topics included basic political history, including various presidential administrations, pivotal elections, and party development. Legal history was generally excluded, as was military history and diplomatic history. Conservatism, of course, was almost universally framed in a negative context. Primary readings from conservative thinkers were rarely assigned.
Absent, also, was any indication that the United States had made real and significant progress on civil rights and race relations in the 20th century. Moreover, there was rarely any indication that the average standard of living, for all people, increased substantially across the twentieth century (better housing, health, education, and technology); instead, students were often fed an anti-market, anti-consumerist narrative about the corrupting effects of capitalism. Social, economic, and technological advancements received virtually no mention; instead, post-World War II America was often portrayed as a period – not of prosperity and expanding freedom – but of greed, decline, sexism, homophobia, and racism."
Dec 9, 2023 ~ The presidents of @Harvard, @Penn and @MIT
(Claudine Gay, Liz Magill and Sally Kornbluth) were all asked the following question under oath at the congressional hearing on antisemitism: "Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?" NOT ONE OF THEM would give a simple 'yes' answer. They all said it 'depended on context!' WTF? Magill insanely said that “If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment.” WHAT? Speech calling for genocide is only harassment at Penn if it turns into actual genocidal conduct?? Be very careful where you hire employees from and where you send your kids for an 'education' because many of these previously top schools have become toxic cesspools of hate and antisemitism.
Dec 11, 2023 ~ 'Cornell Students Convict University President of Genocide in Mock Trial' While college presidents across the nation refuse to condemn calls for Jewish genocide, Cornall Nazis convict their own president of not being antisemitic enough.
Dec 11, 2023 ~ Victor Davis Hanson, 'How Were the Universities Lost?' In response to Israel being attacked by murdering, raping, beheading terrorists, "not a day goes by when a university professor or student group has not spouted antisemitic hatred. Often, they threaten and attack Jewish students, or engage in mass demonstrations calling for the extinction of Israel." How did this happen? They went all in on DIE after a BS 'systemic racism' narrative in response to George Floyd. They divided the student body into 'oppressors' and 'oppressed.' They dropped SATs and all other standards of merit greatly decreasing the collective IQ of people on campus while simultaneously branding Jews as 'privileged' along with whites. They increased the number of foreign students including from antisemitic middle eastern countries.
Dec 16, 2023 ~ Harvard President Claudine Gay is the definition of a black DIE diversity hire. She did the same thing Liz Magill of Penn did (refused to say calls for genocide against Jews is harassment) plus multiple instances of plagiarism. Magill who is white loses her job but Gay keeps hers because black people are held to a lower standard. Compare her also to former Harvard President Larry Summers. Summers, a white economist with no plagiarism lost his job for suggesting there might be brain differences between men and women. Summers published six books and well over 100 academic articles. Gay published only 11 in a far less rigorous field, some of which were plagiarized. Black scholar Carol Swain was brutally honest: “What is bothering me is not just that there’s passages she didn’t put in quotation marks. When I look at her work, I feel like her whole research agenda, her whole career, was based on my work. She became president of Harvard and got recognition as being its first black president. I don’t believe her record warranted tenure, and I believe that I had to meet a much higher standard than she did. … It’s clear to me that standards were lowered in the mid-1990s, and the elites came together and decided that they were going to defend affirmative action. It’s clear to me that she was a beneficiary of that. I blame her committee, and I blame white progressives equally.” "A white male would probably already be gone," Swain noted. No matter, she still stays. As Harvard’s first black president, she becomes essentially untouchable. Whatever she does is by definition, ‘awesome’ and ‘brilliant.’ Fake historian of the #FakeNews New York Times said questioning her qualifications even after plagiarism evidence is 'racist.' Of course it is...
Dec 16, 2023 ~ Biological male Sadie Schreiner sets the women's school record at Rochester Institute of Technology in the 300m run. Not only did he win the race, stealing victory from women, its yet another female record that will almost certainly never be held by a female again. Disgraceful.
Dec 16, 2023 ~ Biological male Tate Drageset has been dominating girl's volleyball in high school. He won national titles with USA Volleyball teams in different age groups, earning MVP honors at the Girls Junior National Championships, and was named the California Interscholastic Federation’s Division 5 Player of the Year for 2022-23. Now he is getting a scholarship to play on the women's team at @UW, taking a spot from a woman.
Dec 16, 2023 ~ Richard McDonough, 'Solving the Education-Destroying Deception of Grade Inflation' Grade inflation is out of control. What was C work in 1980s is A work now. DIE poison at work creating equal outcomes for everyone. But now, no one can trust transcripts.
Dec 24, 2023 ~ Black Columbia professor John McWhorter says Harvard President Claudine Gay should resign: "It has always been inconvenient that Harvard’s first Black president has only published 11 academic articles in her career and not one book (other than one with three co-editors). Some of her predecessors, like Lawrence Bacow, Drew Gilpin Faust and Lawrence Summers, have had vastly more voluminous academic records. The discrepancy gives the appearance that Dr. Gay was not chosen because of her academic or scholarly qualifications, which Harvard is thought to prize, but rather because of her race... If the issue were a couple of hastily quoted phrases in one article, it would be one thing. But investigations have shown that this problem runs through about half of Dr. Gay’s articles, as well as her dissertation. We must ask how a university president can expect to hold her head high, carry authority and inspire respect as a leader on a campus where students suffer grave consequences for doing even a fraction of what Dr. Gay has done."
Dec 24, 2023 ~ Rochelle Hoffman was forced to resign as head of the diversity office at the University of Wisconsin because she is white. Several students AND FACULTY complained, saying someone with white skin should not have that job. So they fired her. Hoffman is suing for “psychological injury, emotional distress, loss of reputation, career damage, and attorney fees and costs.”
Jan 4, 2024 ~ Flashback Oct 2022: Chris Brunet: “I can’t stress enough how much of a tragedy a Claudine Gay presidency would be — this must not be allowed to come to pass. She will ruin Harvard. She’s an intellectual lightweight (her entire body of critical race theory ‘research’ is flawed and/or fake), a far-far-Left DEI activist, and corrupt as hell.” H/T @MattWalshBlog
Jan 4, 2024 ~ Claudine Gay has resigned as president of Harvard after even more examples of plagiarism were uncovered (now near 50). Gay was under previous pressure to resign after refusing to say it violated Harvard's code of conduct to call for the genocide of Jews. Even though she survived longer than she would have under these circumstances had she been anything other than a black woman, the #FakeNews and all of the usual race hustlers popped up to gaslight us about her firing being due to 'racism.' 'Racist mobs' bla bla 'white supremacists' bla bla 'fascists' bla bla 'racism' bla bla 'anti-Blackness' bla bla 'Jim Crow' bla bla 'subjugated by whiteness' bla bla 'white supremacy and racists' bla bla 'bad faith bigots.' etc. Gay herself said the criticism was "fueled by racial animus." Literally the same thing happened to a white woman (Liz Magill) who did not even have the plagiarism issue, but when it happens to a black woman, it's 'racism.' Its obvious to everyone that any results or behavior must be accepted from black people or the left will cry 'racism.' I.e. racism is now defined as holding black people to the same standards as every other group of people.
Jan 14, 2024 ~ John Sexton, 'NY Times: SATs Aren't Racist and Universities Should Use Them' SAT "scores were better than high school grades at predicting student success in the system’s nine colleges, where more than 230,000 undergraduates are enrolled. The relative advantage of test scores has grown over time, the committee found. 'Test scores have vastly more predictive power than is commonly understood in the popular debate,' said John Friedman, an economics professor at Brown and one of the authors of the Ivy Plus admissions study." The real reason so many universities have ditched the test is to allow them to discriminate on race and avoid revealing how much they are doing so. But now they no longer have the ability to find the best students even within demographics, making their diplomas even more worthless and untrustworthy than they have been.
Feb 10, 2024 ~ UC San Francisco @UCSF invited Dante King to give a talk on “Diagnosing Whiteness.” He says “whites are psychopaths” and discusses the “delusion and perversion of whiteness.” He said "anti-blackness" is "the foundation of all white American institutions." "I think whites are psychopathic. The level of lying that white people do, that has started since colonialism." These kind of virulent racists are still invited to speak at universities as long as their racism is directed at the right race.
Feb 20, 2024 ~ "‘All Hell Broke Lose’: Harvard Economist Needed ‘Armed Guard’ After Study Found No Racial Bias In Police Shootings" Roland Fryer, The youngest tenured black professor in Harvard history "needed armed security with him to go out in public [for more than a month] after he published a study finding no evidence of racial bias in officer-involved shootings." Typical of the left which gets violent when their narratives are challenged. Fryer expected to find a different result after Michael Brown, not realizing that narrative was BS. He RE-DID the study to make sure when it didn't match the narrative. Fryer was placed on a 2 year leave by then dean Claudine Gay. Gay went on to become Harvard president but resigned due to scandals involving anti-semitism and plagiarism. @bariweiss asked, "Do you believe in karma?"
Feb 20, 2024 ~ Spencer Lindquist finds universities are still creating and requiring toxic, racist DIE #CRT and woke gender theory classes. Like 'Decolonial Queerness', 'Gender Archaeolxgy', 'Interrogating Whiteness: Privilege, Racism, and Anti-Racism', 'Anti-Colonial Theory and Practice.'
Feb 25, 2024 ~ Yale, Dartmouth and other woke schools are reluctantly re-instating the SAT test after formerly deciding that the test was 'racist' and anti-DIE because all the races didn't do exactly the same. Their studies found what everyone with a brain already new. That SAT scores are the single best predictor of students’ academic performance. "This is true even after controlling for family income and other demographic variables." The SAT was never biased against certain races. Many colleges still reject it in the name of DIE including all University of California schools.
Feb 26, 2024 ~ Biden cancels another $1.2 billion in student loan debt despite the Supreme Court ruling he has no constitutional power to do it. He's already canceled $138 billion and is on track to cancel $475 billion over 10 years. He's vote buying with taxpayer money, adding to the already out of control national debt, and keeping college costs unnecessarily expensive.
Mar 5, 2024 ~ A rare voice of courage among a sea of cowards: Dr. Wayne D. Lewis Jr., the president of Houghton University in New York speaks up for female athletes.
“I reached the place where I could no longer remain silent on this issue. When I see young women with Houghton written across their uniform . . . at a competitive disadvantage, sometimes losing opportunities that are hard-earned, there is no way that I, as their president, will continue to sit on the sidelines and refuse to advocate for change.”
“A fringe agenda under the guise of making school and collegiate athletics more inclusive for transgender people has grown to the place of now unfairly displacing gifted and hardworking female athletes, obliterating the historic achievements and records of female athletes of the past, and threatening to dismantle the opportunities and protections for girls and women in sport trailblazing leaders fought so hard to create and protect."
“Too many leaders, parents, professional athletes, and people of goodwill have been silent as female athletes are humiliated, silenced, and robbed of hard-earned opportunities. That silence is complicit with the fringe agenda that threatens to dismantle girls’ and women’s athletics.”
Mar 16, 2024 ~ 'Female Swimmers Sue NCAA over Male Competition, Demand Return of Trophies, Monetary Damages' Led by @Riley_Gaines_ and the Independent Council on Women’s Sports the suit accuses the NCAA and Georgia Tech "of knowingly violating Title IX."
Mar 21, 2024 ~ Kyle Rittenhouse tried to speak at the University of Memphis. 100s of #BLM protesters disrupted the event chanting "lock his ass up" and "fuck his ass up", causing Rittenhouse to bail early. The BLM protesters then chased and prevented event attendees from exiting the parking garage. "Police had to intervene to stop the BLM demonstrators from injuring attendees as the activists continued to intimidate people attempting to leave." BLM never changes. Their tactics all involve becoming a violent mob.
Mar 24, 2024 ~ Christopher F. Rufo exposes more and more plagiarism in the fake 'educational' areas he calls 'grievance disciplines.' "Harvard racial-studies professor @ChristinaJCross plagiarized multiple passages in her dissertation and at least one other paper, according to a new complaint filed with Harvard’s research integrity office. Harvard's plagiarism crisis is spinning out of control. Let's not ignore the pattern: This is the fourth black female CRT/DEI scholar to be accused of plagiarism at Harvard. We need further research, including a control group of more rigorous fields, but initial reports suggest that the grievance disciplines are rife with fraud." The usual suspects jump right to the "attacked for being black" race card.
Apr 6, 2024 ~ Just when you think wokeness could not get more absurd and racist, UCLA blames 'whiteness' for the opiod crisis. UCLA health advertised an event with professor Dr. Helena Hansen titled, “Beyond Magic Bullets: Whiteness as a Structural Driver of the Opioid Crisis.”
Apr 6, 2024 ~ 'The Intellectual Wasteland of Our American College Campuses' Lieutenant Colonel Allen West continues to get shouted down and heckled at Universities by left wing children. They call him a 'racist' and 'fascist.' The usual garbage. They always refuse to debate. He need a police escort off campus once because of violent #BLM protesters. "It appears to me, and perhaps you as well, that our American college campuses are becoming intellectual wastelands. Sure, there are awesome students who are getting solid educations in specific fields of study, but for the most part, these campuses are nothing more than illogical, radical indoctrination centers."
Apr 20, 2024 ~ Biden destroys women's and men's rights in one move. It alters Title IX so that it includes males in female spaces. So that the main thing that protected women and girls now erases them. And they went back to the no due process kangaroo courts for campus sex accusations that we had before Trump restored due process. Riley Gaines explains, "The new rewrite means: - men can take academic AND athletic scholarships from women - men will have FULL access to bathrooms, locker rooms, etc - men could be housed in dorm rooms with women - students and faculty MUST compel their speech by requiring the use of preferred pronouns."
Apr 27, 2024 ~ 'Another day and another plagiarism story out of academia' Almost always black women in the DIE field. The PhD dissertation of Natalie J. Perry, head of DIE at UCLA’s School of Medicine was "ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, reproducing large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without citations." Even without the plagiarism, her career is a fraud; a single paper explaining why college DIE programs should be even bigger.
May 1, 2024 ~ "The Return of ‘Mostly Peaceful’" Once again, left wingers take over institutions. This time their cause is anti-Israel, pro-jihadist terrorism. They occupy many campuses like Columbia with tent cities. They block access to buildings, especially for Jewish students. They call for the eradication of Israel and death to Jews and death to America. They take down American flags and replace them with Palestinian flags. The universities respond by allowing it to happen, cancelling classes for the safety of Jewish students. USC cancels graduation instead of dealing with these people. As the students are appeased, violence is predictably escalating. Hostages, fires are starting to happen. Like in the 'mostly peaceful' George Floyd riots, the #FakeNews is mostly ignoring the violence and hate and leaving out all context.
