Put them to work in the library...
They are not only fanatical "activists" on the public payroll, they are fanatical "activists" who are entrusted to teach our best and brightest! And the fact that the most prestigious universities in America have become nothing but high-dollar indoctrination and re-education camps run by totalitarians and neo-communists is an abomination against common sense, justice, and national self-preservation
We can't play patty-cake with this pack of "enlightened and nuanced" fanatics. They preach the ways of Marx and Stalin, cry for the destruction of America, and then shriek the mantra of "academic freedom" whenever anyone dares to stand up to them and disagree.
If they love their precious Third World "brothers" so much, I say we fire them, strip them of their American citizenship, and ship them off to the Third World sh*t-hole of their choice - barred from return on pain of execution.
And don't think for one second that they haven't wished something similar, if not worse, on those who dare to love and take pride in our accomplishments and country.

Columbia has a recent history of not dealing with internal issues forthrightly, so I guess this example should be no big surprise.
Columbia's "prestigious" Bancroft Prize for historical non-fiction was given to Michael Bellesiles several years ago, for "Armed America", a book that made the case that early America wasn't as firearms-oriented as we have been led to believe. Almost immediately, the book was seriously questioned. References said the opposite of what Bellesiles claimed, were non-existent, etc. When challenged, Bellesiles essentially responded with "the dog ate my homework". Eventually (with much prodding), he was dismissed from the faculty of Emory University due to the inaccuracies and outright lies in the book. I don't know if Columbia ever repudiated their prize. I think they did, but if so, it was with much foot-dragging.
Where are the voices of Jewish professors and other fair-minded professors at Columbia? If the Middle East Institute has been taken over by one point of view--then there should be some outcry for balance and an end to anti-
Semitism.
And I thought it was bad when I was in college in 1973-77! Columbia and similar places that allow such........need to have their accreditation revoked, their charters voided, and a major fumigating after all the carpetbaggers are given the left foot of fellowship out the college door.
LOL At least I don't have any alumni assc. hitting me up for $$$.
