Let me get this straight. If Columbia has a Deputy Chair of the political science department then Columbia must also have a Chairman of the political science department. It is probably safe to assume that along with the title of Deputy Chair comes additional compensation. If so, then this is a prime example of why university tuition is so expensive. Just exactly how many profs are on the political science faculty at Columbia? Are there so freaking many that the Chairman cannot be expected to manage the staff? It is my considered opinion that at Columbia there are no more than 5 to 10 students per employee. How can this be? Gross mismanagement and empire building that is leading to the financial fleecing of the student body. And the competition for the opportunity to be fleeced is mind numbing for intelligent human beings.
Oh, and BTW, Barack Obama is an alleged alumni of the political science department of Columbia, but no one that was there when he was alleged to be there remembers ever seeing him. And Obama’s Columbia records are hidden along with his birth certificate, his records from Occidental University, his passport records, and his social security records. But his efforts to undo an election are gradually coming to light and the cockroaches are running for cover.
Wait ... isn’t name calling “straight up” aggression? As in beyond a “micro” aggression?
Not sure where this sits on the liberal attack scale.
Yes. Infested by cultural Marxists starting in the late 1940's.
The children are the social Marxists’ future. Have been for many decades. Our children have been specifically targeted a century by our pubic schools, news, media, churches and now social media. We had John Dewey’s early 1900’s Progressive (Marxist) influence, followed by The Frankfurt School’s mid-1900’s social Marxist plan for children led by Columbia University, then Hollywood’s 1950’s communist influences.
Then came the NEA’s No God push in our schools, then the 1960’s CPUSA push of college youts for war protests, drug use and wanton fornication, then the 1980’s sitcoms ridiculing parents, then the 1990’s queer push, then the 2000’s self-esteem facade, and now social media feeding their ignorant arrogance.
What’s the old joke about the Marine who decked the professor who challenged God to knock him down? When the Marine decked him the professor asked him why he did that. The Marine replied He’s busy right now so he sent me to answer your challenge.
See my tag line.

And, has been for a long time. Many of the German school of cultural Marxists wound up there when they fled Hitler.
“He is a leftwing homosexual self-loathing Jew.”
I still cannot understand the self-defeating behavior of so many Jews. Do they feel they are not worthy of chosenness, and so self-loathe and self-flaggelate?
Frankfurt school, 1930s and 40s.
Thanks. The Frankfurt name had slipped out of my memory.
Every act of PCism at today’s colleges/universities is just a cover to shred our constitutional rights by these so called professors and deans.
(Peaceful coexistence with the Left is not possible. Stop pretending that it is.)
Indeed. And if, somehow, Trump loses this autumn, the worldwide left wing is going to be insufferable. My prediction is purges on a level that would make Stalin, himself blush.
So much gay anger in this putz. Look at that picture. People like him smile and try to act all 'oh I'm just a warm and fuzzy bundle of fun!' but this is what seethes below the surface for so many of them. Anger and hate and depression.
Student’s response should be “hey, I’m not an elderly person and you’re not Governor Cuomo.”
“The Frankfurt name had slipped out of my memory.”
The Frankfurt School and Columbia University linkage needs to be widely spoken of.
The Frankfurt School brought us political correctness, consensus building and sensitivity training. Indoctrination techniques.
This individual is unfit to be an educator.
Gravely mentally ill Columbia University professor and Deputy Chair of the school’s political science department Jeffrey Lax told a conservative student to “drop dead,” and called him a “neo-nazi murderer lover” on social media for agreeing with the president’s efforts in handling the Chinese virus, according to a report by the New York Post.
I agree! Nor North Dakota oil patch! Oilfield work is WORK!
