Today’s quote comes to us from Fox News Channel host Laura Ingraham.
Here, from yesterday’s broadcast, is part of her opening monologue:
“College campuses have seen an explosion in the number of far-left student groups, often with socialist tenets or neo-Marxist origins. But these groups aren’t the liberals of the old free-speech variety. They have gone from being antiwar and demanding First Amendment rights to being deeply anti-American and now passionately pro-terrorism.
“I love how all these college presidents and deans are trying to cover their tracks distancing themselves from these pro-Hamas organizations on campus, but I’m not buying it for one minute. They have always known that these groups supported political violence. In 2020, the BLM riots and now the savage killing by Hamas.
“University officials either agree with the anti-American supporters of violence, or they are just too afraid to challenge them.
“Meanwhile, corporate America and wealthy donors shower these universities with billions and billions of dollars. Philanthropic giving to higher ed increased by 12.5 percent to $59.5 billion. Three donations totaling 431 million into Harvard in one recent year alone, from Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates and the UAE.
“…Let’s be brutally honest here: Academia for decades has been a cesspool of anti-American and anti-Western hatred. Hatred of all things traditional. They stopped opposing voices from even speaking on campus.”
“It’s not surprising that young people who have been taught lies for education just reflexively repeat them and expect standing ovations. The time has come for everyone responsible for this, the administrators, professors, the donors who pay for it all, to look into the mirror and realize that this this is your legacy.”
I won’t tell you why Laura Ingraham wins Quote Of The Day honors. If you don’t already know, nothing I can say will get through to you.
