You can have a fair, nondiscriminatory workplace, and even a diverse workplace, without tolerating people who behave like this.

I think what informs quite a lot of my enmity toward progressives is that I really, truly, believe that if the kids at these Israel protests were given the power to enact their fantasies it would end with atrocities

Ten years ago, it was an SNL sketch. Today, it’s just normal on American campuses.

What tenet of academic freedom is threatened by not letting the dumb kids keep their little shantytown up in the quad indefinitely? There’s a park two blocks away they can live in as long as they want. It’s teeming with drug addicts and perverts. They’ll feel right at home.

At Columbia, Jews have to flee the campus for their own safety on the first night of Passover. Meanwhile, at University of Florida, they’re having a Seder for 1200 in the basketball arena.

No terrorist encampments on Ben Sasse’s campus or in Ron DeSantis’s state!

These organizations are hate groups and affiliation with them should be as socially damaging as affiliation with alt-right and white nationalist groups.

For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted with chants of 'Go back to Africa.'

Or imagine that a gay student at Yale was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit in the eye with a flagpole.

Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they

On the broader point of the situation at Columbia. It's important to know who's doing what. Students vs hangers-on, activists from off campus etc. But let's not kid ourselves. Think abt this situation from the perspective of a minority group you actually care about.

When I was in my twenties, I dated a woman who scared me so much that I had to tell my brother to send the cops if I didn’t check in with him. My family couldn’t understand why I kept seeing her, and I didn’t know how to explain it to them.

I am really glad that this particular sanctimonious antisemite is getting the attention she deserves. If you kill two people and get off with a slap on the wrist, maybe shut the fuck up.

If white bigots did this to black students anywhere in the US, every liberal journalist in America would erupt in outrage. Yet most of my left-wing media colleagues, so quick to deplore any hint of racism, remain silent in the face of this ugly, naked, menacing .

The UC system is going all in on equity in admissions and is weighing minority status more than academics for admission to formally selective majors.

If red-state schools like UNC, UVA, UT-Austin, Florida and UGA go all in on academics, who will be more prestigious in 15 years?

This is the same as “Jews will not replace us.” Anyone doing this should face the same long term career and criminal justice repercussions faced by participants in the 2017 Unite the Right rally.
