It took decades for this cancer to infect our colleges and universities. It will take time to eradicate it.
Decades ago, higher education was held to a standard of legal responsibility for the welfare of its students. The Latin term in loco parentis (in place of parents) gave them the right and duty to act as parents would. In recent decades, a better description of the how they manage their responsibilities to all students in their care is just plain loco.

The idea that virulent antisemitism on campus is some kind of shocking unforeseen phenomenon that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in October 2023 is f***ing willful blindness. Every "elite" university in the US has spent 40 years creating sinecures and chairs and entire departments for Jew-hate-peddling lunatics, and for the last 20 years panhandled donations from every lunatic oil sheikhdom to pay for them.
So, college presidents and deans can spare me the shock when some of their edgy pity-hire faculty members chant support for Hamas into a bullhorn. You dumb f***ers knew full well what they were all about when you hired them in the first place, it was all there in their curriculum….
Hamas filmed and published with glee many of its barbarous atrocities in Israel. Unlike the Nazis, who tried to hide the worst of it. Dwight David Eisenhower, then commander of the European Theater of Operations, knew there would be Holocaust deniers and made neighboring German civilians join the press in touring concentration camps so that they and the world would have a hard time doing that. Today, there can be no question of what Hamas did: We have the audio of their phone calls and the videos they produced. After the war, Eisenhower was the president of Columbia University...

When I was in college I knew the leftists were whackjobs. I hope todays students can recognize that.
Later the college went full woke begging POC's to help them with their "Whiteness Problem".
Now the college and the community are a dangerous joke.
It only looks loco if you don't understand the above.
That “In your face America!” student debt cancelling that Pedo Joe pulled should be good enough to throw his pedo azz in prison for 50 years.
On April 1, 1972, I received my letter that I was awarded a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship. It paid for all academic expenses at the college of my choice, so long as it had Army ROTC. IMO, it was by far the most valuable scholarship of my 500+ graduating class.
A couple of days later, word got out, and the last two months of HS was miserable. I was basically a pariah, the harassment was all verbal, down to being called "babykiller".
I recall teachers saying to my face how "disappointed" they were with my decision. It was so ludicrous I laughed in their faces.
I never returned, shaking the dust off my boots after graduation. I've harbored a few thoughts of attending a reunion, but those passed quickly. I had no desire to travel 1500 miles for a 4-5 hour event that would likely have been an FU session. It wasn't just the scholarship, it was being stationed in Germany for 4 years, and the experiences I enjoyed there.
In contrast, I'd love to make the next reunion for my college class. I've stayed in touch with probably two dozen friends since graduating in 1976.
there is a lot of power in victim hood
palestinians are the designated victims
regardless of their behavior
see any correlations?
Higher Ed is now Commie Ed.
