Hamas Brutality Illuminates College Officialdom’s Broken Moral Compass

[Valletta]

Meanwhile, campus chapters of Palestinian student groups—including at campuses like Ohio State and Harvard University—issued congratulatory statements and insisting that Israelis deserved this (the Harvard statement was co-signed by more than two dozen student groups). Campus officials who’ve been so deeply concerned of late about nuanced microaggressions were here confronted with a vicious case of macroaggression, one that involved campus members cheering a direct threat to Israeli exchange students, any student or faculty member with relations in Israel, and, more generally, Jewish members of the campus community.
And how did college leaders respond? Mostly with silence.

Taxpayer money should be cut off to every tax-receiving university involved.

Cancel Culture, this time for political speech?

This goes along with the War on Education in general.

Cancel culture is alive and well at universities. Any group promoting violence or racism should not be supported with taxpayer funding.

Cancel culture is alive and well at universities.

And absolutely thriving among conservatives.

Zionists included?

Nope. This is called freedom of speech. Get used to it.

Nope. Taxpayers do not have to pay for threats to kill anyone. This is still America. If the person is a not a citizen they also should be quickly deported.

The link mentioned no threats to kill anyone. Are you making that part up?

Besides, dear former leader also made death threats, and his followers sent him cash.

Why should anyone expect students attending colleges or universities to somehow possess better moral compasses than the rest of the human race? And especially if said colleges are located in the United States?

This violence has been occurring for thousands of years with opponents and proponents, akin to a violent, never ending game of pong...I have no business involving myself in any fashion. The book of Proverbs I've been reading seems to confirm my view. I can feel empathy for both the Israeli and Palestinian people affected by the violence.

The fact that humans' moral compasses are broken does not need illuminating to those with eyes that see and ears that hear.

My point is a conservative one--bad behavior should not be rewarded. I know it is not woke. Let them pay their own tuition, whether it be Nazis or KKK, taxpayer money should not be used to fund such individuals or groups.

 

[Brihaha]

I agree bad behavior should not be rewarded. If your opinion was woke, it would know that ship has sailed long ago. Capitalism does have its drawbacks. Especially in light of our moral decline.

A litmus test for financial aid? Please. There are enough book banners, history deniers, and anti-science elements agitating that pretty soon only homeschooled Bible Belters might qualify.
Keep learning suppressors out of education.

Yes, a litmus test for all taxpayer dollars. Joe is not a king.

Vivek Ramaswamy had the right attitude towards this: it's college, people are expected to experiment with different viewpoints. Sometimes those viewpoints may be extreme or wrong. Hopefully, they develope more nuanced viewpoints as they get older.

I really like Vivek but it's seeming more and more like people are carrying these extreme views with them even though adulthood.

Wasn't it one of those weather underground people from the 60's that was at least at one point heavily involved in BLM?

While there is some measure of experimentation in youth, these Marxist ideologies seem to stick, and stick often with violence.

It is a concern that our modern college (education as a whole) experience is indoctrination into communism - they aren't churning out wholesome, productive citizens they are more and more just producing little terrorists who blame anyone close for any perceived "injustice", whether warranted or not.

The proper response is to have a campus where a variety of viewpoints are present and debated. That's been part of a tradition in western countries since the middle ages.

Espousing radical politics in regards to Israel shouldn't be off-limits at the university level.

Many times conservatives are banned from speaking. They could start there.

I believe that stopped occuring in total in the US.

They first started protesting anyone with a different view and then stopped people with varying views from speaking on campuses at all.

Now they've gone radical.

If there was balance that would be fine - I've always been pro learning about other views, but I think balance ended on college campuses, period, and we are faced with a highly radicalized younger population.

You mean like the ones Rep family members are getting if their spouse doesn't vote for Jordan?

Fun fact - none of these students are Nazis.
