The stand-up comedian Robert Klein once did a routine about antisemitism on a college campus, recounting his own days as a student at Alfred University in western New York State.  In Klein’s telling, he was regularly chased across campus by students yelling “Jew boy, Jew boy!”  How much of Klein’s routine may be attributed to artistic license remains to be seen.  All good comedy springs from true to life experiences, many of which were traumatic.  I’m sure this story is no exception.  The problem is that Robert Klein did that routine some 40 years ago, long before the so-called liberals, or progressives, or whatever euphemisms by which you care to call them, had had an opportunity to expose past bigotries, and had instilled the supposed tolerance for minority groups which they’ve always pretended to champion.  The sad truth however, is that although the Left pretends to be dedicated to stamping out injustice, its true goal is the suppression of any opinion that conflicts with its agenda.  Witness the current disgraceful examples of rampant antisemitism on college campuses across America.  The U.S. support for Israel following the October 7th Hamas attacks, which resulted in the murders of more than 1,400 Israelis, the taking of hundreds of hostages, and the wholesale rapes and murders of countless Israeli women has sparked unprecedented antisemitic attacks and protests in cities and on campuses from coast to coast.  While most older Americans support Israel by a wide margin, most young people oppose Israel’s military response to the unprovoked attacks, in effect siding with the Hamas terrorists who butchered babies.  Jewish students on college campuses have reported fearing for their safety, as mobs of pro-Palestinian protestors have harassed them, chanting, “Kill the Jews!”  And such protests aren’t going on in some rural backwater location, but have happened in New York City, home to more Jewish residents than any place outside Israel.  This perverted generation gap, while disgraceful, shouldn’t come as a surprise.  Older Americans support Israel because they either lived through, or were taught about the Holocaust, and experienced events like the 6 Day War, at a time when the reporting of the news wasn’t distorted by Woke journalists, or the outright media liars who populate newsrooms today.  And you really can’t blame the young for having a distorted view of events, because they are the victims of decades of educational malpractice, courtesy of an educational system that hires only leftist ideologues, and teaches “history” from the perspective of Communist Howard Zinn, whose textbook, A People’s History of the United States, teaches American history from the Marxist perspective, as the struggle of the oppressed against the oppressors.  That’s not the way it happened, but these kids have heard nothing other than that tripe all through school.  Add to this, the transformation of colleges from centers of learning and discourse to higher education brainwashing academies, and the shameful poll results make sense.  In the so-called elite colleges, only leftists need apply, only leftists are hired and advanced, and the narrow-minded faculties of these institutions stifle all dissent in the name of Woke purity.  Under these conditions, the students don’t have a chance.  But what of the professors and administrators?  As attorney Joseph Welch famously asked of Senator Joseph McCarthy, “Have you no sense of decency, at long last?” On a quiet Saturday morning, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, raping, kidnapping and murdering as they went.  They killed infants in horrific fashion.  Try as protestors might to deny the truth, we know these things happened, because the murdering bastards videoed their deeds.  Then, released hostages recounted weeks of repeated rapes.  Last week, the presidents of Harvard, Penn and MIT testified before a House Committee about the antisemitic protests on campus.  Congresswoman Elise Stefanik asked the group a seemingly simple question, “Will admissions offers be rescinded or any disciplinary actions be taken against students or applicants who say ‘from the river to the sea’ or ‘intifada,’ advocating for the murder of Jews?”  Not one of them could bring themselves to condemn the student behavior.  None said disciplinary action would be taken.  One of them actually said, “It depends on the context.”  Please tell me what context in the world could possibly justify calls for genocide, accompanied by the blatant bias, intimidation tactics being tolerated by these schools.  Instead, these collegiate cowards hid themselves behind the First Amendment.  It’s funny how these Woke imbeciles only acknowledge a right to free speech when they’re the ones who are speaking.  Don’t forget, these are the same bastards who hound conservative speakers off the stage, and who have no regard for free speech, should someone dare to call a screwed up snowflake by the wrong pronoun.  Apparently a pronoun offense violates their precious college speech codes, but calls for mass murder – well not so much.  We really should have expected no more from this crowd.  After all, each of them came up through the same Leftist tenure system.  The truth is, if they condemned the student protestors, the Commie faculties probably would go on strike in solidarity with their fellow travelers.  Then again, is “fellow” appropriate?  Maybe it should be “non-binary travelers.”  Anyhow, the stupidity of this trio of college bigwigs was so stunning that even the leftist media had to admit they made a mistake.  Well, let me rephrase.  CNN said they “made a fatal error,” but not because what they said was outrageous and totally wrong.  The CNN take was that you “should know your audience.”  Translation – They could have crafted better lies and evasions, knowing they were before Republicans on the Committee who actually can tell right from wrong.  It had to be pretty bad though, because even the White House (not Old Joe, a spokesperson) called them out, “It’s unbelievable that this needs to be said:  calls for genocide are monstrous and antithetical to everything we represent as a country.  Any statements that advocate for the systematic murder of Jews are dangerous and revolting — and we should all stand firmly against them, on the side of human dignity and the most basic values that unite us as Americans.”  Such clarity and common sense can only mean one thing – an election is near.  There have been repercussions.  The Penn president was forced to resign that post when an incensed donor pulled a promised $100 million donation.  Free speech is fine, but business is business.  This shameful event exposes the the true face of higher education.  Simply replacing one Woke idiot with another isn’t a solution.  It took 100 years to reach this low point.  At least there no place to go but up.
