M.D. Kittle writes for the Federalist about universities’ role in creating their own problems today with campus protesters.

The same antisemitic movement sympathizing with the terrorists declaring “Death to America!” on our college campuses is also at war with food allergies. 

Meanwhile, the same institutions of higher education that have brought us the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” cult are cowering in fear that they might offend the genocidal pirates — so much so they are paralyzed in enforcing the law. …

… You know what is truly frightening? Actual crimes against humanity. The kind committed by Hamas, an actual terrorist organization that systematically brutalized, raped, and murdered some 1,300 people in the most barbaric attack on Jews since the Holocaust. Perhaps such atrocities should come as no surprise from a holy war-driven entity whose charter clearly spells out the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of Jews.  …

… What else is appalling but not unexpected is the violent wave of antisemitism sweeping America’s esteemed institutions of higher education, like the gilded UCLA and Columbia University, where pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protesters reign supreme. These citadels of tolerance and inclusion have become hives of hate, so much so that a Jewish student at the hypocritical “safe space” of Columbia is suing the university for failing to provide a “safe education environment,” the Hill reported.

“The encampment has been the center of round-the-clock harassment of Jewish students, who have been punched, shoved, spat upon, blocked from attending classes and moving freely about campus, and targeted by pro-terrorist hate speech — both verbal and in written form on massive banners and signs — with statements such as: ‘Death to the Jews’; ‘Long live Hamas’; ‘Globalize the Intifada,’” the lawsuit alleges. …

… Columbia, the prestigious school that likes to boast that it offers “every student with a comprehensive and transformational understanding of modern civilization,” has been taken over by the defenders of the kind of barbarism that should be an affront to all civilized nations.
