I just sent this to my freshman in college daughter. She’s a conservative and a member of the school conservatives but is impressed when someone mentions that they went to “Columbia”, “Harvard” etc. These schools detest America and all that it stands for and want “social justice”. This is how they attain it.

If I recall correctly, the murder of two police officers, Brothers, was involved. (I think this is the case!)

My Mom was in the hospital way back when, and her roommate was the MOTHER of these two Officers.

So this atrocity hits close to home for me.

Perhaps she is there to find some unexploded ordinance her group left there.

Our society has become the a rabbit hole ala Alice in Wonderland.

Someone is a bit confused. No adjunct professorship is prestigious — adjunct professors are part-timers with no chance of tenure. Okay, among adjunct professorships, adjuncting at Columbia carries more prestige than adjuncting at, say, SUNY Purchase, but there is still something oxymoronic about the phrase “prestigious adjunct professorship”.

Did she ever pick her kid up from Bernadine Dorhn and Bill Ayres’ house?

This is actually her resume from Columbia: This MUST be an April fool joke:

“Dr. Kathy Boudin has been an educator and counselor with experience in program development since 1964, working within communities with limited resources to solve social problems, and supporting individuals to overcome their own odds and develop a sense of strength and direction. Dr. Boudin has focused her work on the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and criminal justice issues including women in prison; mother-child relationships and parenting from a distance; adolescent relationships with incarcerated parents; restorative justice, and higher education and basic literacy inside correctional institutions.

Dr. Boudin is employed by the Center for Comprehensive Care, HIV AIDS Center, at St. Lukes Roosevelt Hospital where she is developing programs related to health care for people who are HIV Positive and counseling patients individually and in groups. She is currently a consultant to the Osborne Association in the development of a Longtermers Responsibility Project taking place in the New York State Correctional Facilities utilizing a restorative practice approach. Dr. Boudin also has been a consultant for Vermont Corrections, the Women’s Prison Association, and Family Justice.
She has provided training and supervision to social workers as they work with individual people in prison.

She received her Ed.D. from Columbia University, Teachers College.”

IMO, she should be in the gas chamber.

It should be mandatory that all colleges/universities publicly provide the status of background checks on their professors, assistant professors, and teaching assistants. If this was done, more parents would say “awww he)) NO!” and the colleges would be without their audiences to ruin.

In my long ago college years I briefly attended an economics class where a professor was spouting anti-US, anti-military garbage. I got up while he was ranting and left that hall, walked over to administration and dropped the class. Wish I had dared to be more public about it, but I was only 18, so I figure for that young I at least had some moral courage.

Colleges/universities can be awesome and terrible at the same time...

Getting an actual convicted felon on the faculty gives Columbia the jump on the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Bill Ayers, Chicago’s resident communist mad-bomber, was never actually convicted for the bombings and the deaths he had a hand in.

One of my children recently graduated from Columbia. From what I read that school is going to the dogs so I’m glad she is out. She survived the “Columbia experience” quite well. She is still politically conservative, still a devout Christian and recently married to a young “Quant.” In short, she made it out with out being turned Left.

She’ll probably be the Barak Obama memorial chair.

I thought the mother of that child was killed when the house blew up where they were making bombs.
