Despicable Behavior of Today's Academicians

The Michigan State University administration pressured professor Stephen Hsu to resign from his position as vice president of research and innovation because he touted research that found police are not more likely to shoot black Americans. The study found: "The race of a police officer did not predict the race of the citizen shot. In other words, black officers were just as likely to shoot black citizens as white officers were."

1984 has arrived at the universities.

It actually arrived on campus in about 1968 when gutless administrators allowed the hard Left to take over. We're just now noticing the fruit of their Marxist labors.

Prof: You want to teach here?

Student: Yup.

Prof: Read a book lately?

Student: No. But I know how to use a bicycle chain while I was fighting for Antifa.

Prof: Look we have rigorous standards.

Student: Well, I did read Marx.

Prof: You’re in.

Some of those hard-left students ended up in with much power, e.g., Eric Holder, Bill Ayres and his gang

I’m really sick and tired of immature babies running our schools, turning out people who are not ready to face the real world.

We’re going to have to tear them out of there root and branch.

I was thinking mainly of the professorate — no conservatives need apply. Now the policies espoused by Communist radicals like Ayers and Holder are mainstream in the Democrat party. Bumpy ride ahead.

Michigan State has a pathetic history with diversity lip service.

That’s not fair. The student’s comment should be more like:

“Well, I did read Marx memes.”

There’s a lot that they espouse that was just too stupid even for Marx.
