Piers Morgan, writing for the New York Post, has just put out a scathing commentary on Israel hatred in academia, culminating in the acceptance, even glee, of some so-called “educators” regarding the hamas massacre.
I implore you in strongest terms to use the above link and read every word. But at least read these excerpts – which comprise just a small part of the facts, logic and decency Mr. Morgan is providing:
The disgusting hypocrisy behind elite schools defending the campus celebrations of Hamas’ terror attack.
“Our university embraces a commitment to free expression,” declared Harvard president Claudine Gay, in support of the disgusting pro-Hamas protests on the university’s campus. “That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous. We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views, but that is a far cry from endorsing them.”
All of which is disingenuous claptrap.
Ironically, it’s been Harvard’s singular LACK of commitment to free expression that I find objectionable and outrageous.
Because, just five weeks ago, the same Harvard was named America’s worst school for free speech.
Not second, or third, or 154th … no, the WORST in the entire country.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, in releasing its annual college free speech rankings, dubbed the Ivy League school’s record in this area “abysmal.”
Of course, it’s not just Harvard.
At the University of Michigan, a business professor smirked in photos as he ripped down posters with names and photos of some of the 199 people whom Hamas took hostage.
And at Cornell, a laughably named “diversity and inclusion” officer took to his social media to celebrate the Hamas attacks as “resistance.”
Other such revolting garbage occurred at the University of Virginia, Stanford, George Washington University, Swarthmore, and a host of other elite schools.
All of which have become leading lights in the cancel-culture war on people being free to express opinions the woke mob doesn’t like.
Places like Harvard have spent the past few years brazenly and proudly denying free speech and canceling anyone who deviates from their hard-left worldview on political or social issues, from the Ukraine war to Black Lives Matter and transgender ideology.
The only reason they didn’t do so over the Hamas terror attacks in Israel, or the fact that 199 people are being held hostage, is because they’ve become hostages themselves to the insidious “progressive” mindset that dictates that Jewish lives just don’t matter quite as much as others.
As I mentioned above, this is just part of Mr. Morgan’s commentary; there’s plenty more just like it. Please, please read it all. And then think about what cesspools so many of our once-vaunted institutions of higher learning have become.
