Wednesday night, we posted a couple of videos of students at Concordia University in Montreal going nuts and attacking a table set up by Jewish students to honor those held hostage by Hamas. Police had to step in and there was reportedly at least one arrest. Here's another video that shows a professor at the university calling one of the Jewish students a whore and telling her to "go back to Poland."

Dominations and Resistances in the Arab World, huh? That's a class? We've been wondering how so many college students in the 18-21 age range have become so virulently antisemitic. We assumed some of it was indoctrination by professors, but they might be contributing more than we know. David Frum, who's been a staunch defender of Israel, notes how many professors are blatant antisemites.
It seems that the person arrested for the killing of a Jewish man in Ventura County, California, was a college professor. The loudmouth who called a Jewish woman in Montreal a whore (in Arabic) and shouted at her to go back to Poland was a college professor too.

CORRECTION: "The person investigated for" not "The person arrested for" - no arrests have been made in the case to date.

Red State reporter Jen Van Laar had reported that the man being investigated for the murder of 65-year-old Paul Kessler was a Moorpark College professor who at one point was the faculty advisor for the campus Muslim Student Association.
Here's another professor taking scissors to a poster of kidnapped children at the University of Pennsylvania. https://t.co/HrDWa2mRxb

When this City University of New York professor was recorded attacking posters, she assaulted the people recording her. https://t.co/2P6Xwu9SuR

Some formal institutional self-examination by university leadership seems called for.

Can you imagine being a Jewish student at these schools?
So, education isn't the problem. Racism is.

They'd give you extra credit if you took a "field trip" and joined one of the pro-Hamas marches on campus.
Looks like a pattern, including the increasingly violent actions of student groups and ripping down posters of hostages...a pattern where some colleges are radicalizing people toward violent extremism.

The universities are irredeemable

We've created enclaves for people to focus entirely on being special and "boldly against the world" from a position of virtually unassailable safety and very little oversight; bad combo.

Oh, we forgot to mention the Cornell professor who called the October 7 massacre "exhilarating."
Academic and DEI jobs seem to be two risk factors here

As we reported, Bari Weiss wrote a piece saying that to get rid of antisemitism on campus, you need to get rid of DEI. Maybe there's such a thing as a little too much diversity.
And these folks have been “educating” our future leaders 😬😬😬

Al Gore campaigned on sending everyone to college — what a mistake that would be.
