One industry in America pumps out toxic waste day and night, but suffers no penalty for the damage it causes.
It operates at enormous public and private expense, sucking up hundreds of billions of dollars in government money.
Its toxic bilge poisons much of society, but those who complain about it are often dismissed as ignorant or bigoted.
Its product is largely free of state and federal regulation.
And the toxic waste it emits isn’t chemical but intellectual sludge, in the form of racial bigotry, antisemitism and crude Marxism.
“It’s amazing,” constitutional scholar Ilya Shapiro said a few days ago in testimony to a committee of the US Commission for Civil Rights: “The heart of antisemitism in America lies on campus, among the most educated and progressive people in the country.”
This isn’t the workplace bias and schoolyard name-calling that once marked antisemitism in this country — it’s now reached the performance stage.
Like the recent incident in which antisemitic Cornell student Austin Franco rejected a job offer from a Jewish-owned startup with the hateful message “Not interested in working for a Jew” — then raised more than $20,000 from equally antisemitic goons on a crowdfunding site.
Franco attends the same campus where antisemitic students this semester trapped the university’s president in his car, holding him hostage after he hosted a civil debate over Israel.
Violence, threats and taunts have hit Jewish students on campuses across the country, from Columbia and Yale on the East Coast to UCLA on the West.
Why have universities been so limp-wristed in addressing this unvarnished hatred?
One reason is money: Arab sheikdom Qatar has pumped tens of billions of dollars into US universities in recent years — and in the academy, money talks.

The focus on antisemitism misses the point. Don’t get me wrong, that is a big problem. But a lot of these commentators focus on antisemitism as if it is a unique issue that just popped up out of nowhere. They don’t view it as one part of the massive toxic swamp that has been created over decades of intolerance to anything that isn’t radical Woke liberalism. Conservatism and true Christianity were driven off campus a long time ago and any time they try to come back, they are mocked or driven away, including with violence. Even moderate views are hounded off campus. So now the mob has come for the Jews and it finally woke some commentators up to the toxicity of campus.
“...trapped the university’s president in his car...”
And the pussy forgot where the gas pedal was.
There are the elite universities, a tiny number of institutions, and then there is the average college, numbering in the thousands.
At the average place, millions of young people struggle to learn the basics of what they need to get some kind of job. They didn’t learn much in high school, and now they have to tackle difficult subjects to pass the nursing exam or get hired as an accountant.
The US education system failed when its leadership opted for wokism, DEI, and decadence over excellence. Standards dropped to sewer level. They convinced themselves that they were serving some higher morality, but they were doing the opposite. They failed. They opted for stupidity over intelligence. They were fools. And the people who supported them were even bigger fools.
We don’t donate to our alma matters, because the monies get routed to the “less fortunate” who already have Pell Grants and free housing and/or are illegals.
I chose to work through school, with part of it under a loan I got for myself, along with my own hard-earned savings. I guess I could have gotten actual Welfare and Food Stamps, like others I knew who saw that choosing to not work meant you could now claim you were destitute.
I was absolutely disgusted that our government allowed people to willfully not work and claim all sorts of welfare, and have all the time to study and party and have no loans or loss of personal monies.
It’s terrible.

And in politics as well. The Qatari influence is both enormous and, until very recently, unacknowledged.
much of this could be fixed if we force universities to admit the most academically qualified students rather than cherry-picking minorities...
And where did Trump get his new AF1?
I believe some conservative pundit created a scholarship fund specifically for white, middle-class students (who are eligible for little to no financial aid). If you’re willing to support higher education in any way - this fund might a good consideration as it funds students who are most likely academically competent.
The writer forgot to include sexual perversion.

The problem is way bigger. Rebels against God tried to cancel Him throughout America decades ago. This is how we ended up with legalized abominations. The education brainwashing pipeline is only one tentacle of the Leviathan.
Politicians are going to have to develop spines to pass legislation to support that. For at least awhile “disparate impact statistics “ will put heat on them!
Inquiring minds want to know: Why can’t “disparate impact statistics” law* apply to collegiate and professional sports?
* A gift that keeps on giving from “The Lion of the Senate” - Teddy Kennedy!
But even those public schools are full of woke.
Student loan debt should be paid by the universities that sold junk degrees. Most negative issues would go away if universities had to sell a useful product to survive. Outside money, Qatari or otherwise, would no longer be worth destroying the educational product.
