THEN
NOW
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.
Her ol’man got her the job!
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?
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.
I understand that Ward Churchill is also available.
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.
Do the people of that state get a vote on board of trustees or directors?
This just gets worse and worse.
Her great-uncle was Louis B. Boudin, a Marxist theorist. Her father, attorney Leonard Boudin, had represented such controversial clients as Judith Coplon, Fidel Castro, and Paul Robeson.
A (Soviet Union directed communist front) National Lawyers Guild attorney, Leonard Boudin was the law partner of Victor Rabinowitz, himself counsel to numerous left-wing organizations.
Kathy’s older brother, Michael Boudin, is currently a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

He was appointed by George H.W. Bush and confirmed by a Democrat senate, with Joe Biden as the chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
The First Circuit includes Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island.
It figures. The Establishment takes care of its own. From tribute[taxes] extracted by use of deadly force or implied use of deadly force upon the slaves should they not comply with the master”s demands.
Ayers, Dorhn, and now Boudin.
The Weather Underground walks again. Same destination, just a different path.
