The Left and their media allies want you to believe the protests roiling college campuses are spontaneous uprisings of morally fervent students worried about Gaza war victims. Don’t fall for that claim. It’s a scam. These protesters don’t represent most students or the American public.
Yet recently, Columbia University canceled graduation ceremonies, kowtowing to the radical fringe, with whom they largely agree. Students and their families be damned.
Here are the facts: A miniscule 2% of people ages 18 to 29 polled by Harvard’s Kennedy School named the Israel-Hamas conflict as their top political concern, compared with double digits who were concerned about the economy. Students couldn’t care less about this issue.
Claims that today’s campus riots are reminiscent of 1968, when students closed down campuses to protest the Vietnam War, are nonsense. Back then, Gallup found 46% of respondents in that age group considered the Vietnam War the nation’s biggest problem. Not 2%.
Ray Kelly, former New York Police commissioner, nailed it Sunday when he said the nationwide turmoil “looks like a conspiracy. … We need the federal government’s investigative capacity to look at this whole situation.”
Organized outside groups are behind much of the campus violence. Hours before the storming of Columbia’s Hamilton Hall, an outside organization called The People’s Forum — known for its anti-Israel activities and links to the Chinese Communist Party — started gearing up for its Hamilton Hall invasion. In a meeting, TPF’s leader spewed invectives against Columbia.
Hours later, protesters smashed the glass doors of Hamilton Hall, vandalizing and seizing the building. When Minouche Shafik, university president, finally called in police, 13 of the 44 arrested in the building had no affiliation with the university.
Reflecting on the incidents at Columbia and other New York campuses, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said after the arrests, “Individuals unaffiliated with these schools had entered these different campuses and, in some cases, were even training students in unlawful protest tactics.”
New York University Board Vice Chairman Bill Berkley says these occupations appear to have been orchestrated by external groups. He wants the FBI to investigate.
As these groups seize control of our universities, where is the FBI? Director Christopher Wray says the bureau does not directly track college protests but will provide information to campuses if the agency becomes aware of a specific threat.
Huh? The FBI should be proactively identifying and heading off campus terrorists.
Where is the Department of Justice? Two weeks ago, 27 Republican Senators sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking for the DOJ to investigate how students’ rights are being violated on campus. Radio silence.
Where is President Joe Biden? When the President was asked if he would use the National Guard to restore order, he emphatically said, “No.”
Why not? The National Guard were deployed in 1962 to protect the right of Black students to attend the newly integrated University of Mississippi. Students of all races and religions who want to go to class or attend their graduation deserve protection.
The Biden administration is missing in action. Is it because the same big Dem donors supporting Biden — the Pritzker family, George Soros, David Rockefeller Jr. — also support pro-Palestine groups orchestrating campus protests?
Meanwhile, images of campus invaders in headscarves are not winning over Americans. The latest Harvard CAPS-Harris survey shows that 61% of Americans polled want a ceasefire only after Hamas is removed from power and the hostages captured on Oct. 7 are released.
The public also knows what they are seeing on campuses is not freedom of expression — a sacred American right — but lawlessness and dangerous disorder. Universities need to be evenhanded, guaranteeing that all sides get to speak and students can attend class.
Columbia’s students were heckled and threatened, had their classes canceled and now are robbed of the grandeur of a university graduation. It’s a slap in the face to them, and to their families who sacrificed to make college possible.
Colombia’s motto is, “In thy light shall we see light.” Truth is, darkness has descended on Columbia and most elite college campuses.
Alumni and taxpayers alike should withhold their support until these institutions see the light and prioritize their students.
“Director Christopher Wray says the bureau does not directly track college protests but will provide information to campuses if the agency becomes aware of a specific threat.”. So the FBI isn’t looking into foreign funding of this or interstate travel for the purpose of rioting, a violation of federal criminal law, but will send dozens of agents to investigate a garage door pull at Bubba Wallace’s NASCAR stall. Well, one does have to have one’s priorities.
The bureau is a credible threat.
When you give in to baby temper-tantrums, they just learn that in order to get their way, they just throw another one.
Parent’s give in and eventually saying “NO!” to the child, is meaningless since there are no consequences. To be PC, and so they don’t get arrested, they try TIME-OUTS. Before you know it and can’t stop it, they’re dying their hair in rainbow colors, getting piercings everywhere you can think of, discovering that they are suddenly gay, and then demanding to go Trans!
SPANKING! “Go get me the belt!” “Grounded and no friends, or going to friends, for a week!”
By colleges giving in to these crybabies, many of them professionals, they’ll be able to take over the university again, make demands until the administrations give in.
BUT… HOW MANY ADMINISTRATIONS SIDE WITH THEM? How many take action? “All students who participated in the destruction and protest, will be suspended!” HOW MANY WILL BE SUSPENDED that in order stop protesting, they demand no repercussions and sure enough, the PARENT’S GIVE IN! ANY INCIDENT WILL TRIGGER THEM AGAIN!
Look no further than the organizers, just like during Vietnam…. COMMUNISTS! The Communist Party USA teamed up with the Soviet KGB to start the PEACE MOVEMENT, all to help in the takeover of SE Asia. Then again in Central America. All CPUSA/KGB funded and led.
Today, the CPUSA, which stays in the shadows, bred other Communist groups like ANSWER and The Party for Socialism and Liberation which lead today’s protests with their signs to prove it.
Most professors and administrators are products of the CPUSA/KGB ’60s-’80s recruitment so in most ways, they are proud of THE NEW GENERATION OF COMMUNISTS!
Don’t be a useful idiot.
As long as Americans remain convinced that a college education in an absolute necessity, nothing substantial will change. The only other mitigating factors are tuition increases that become completely unaffordable, or job providers making it clear that today’s revolutionaries are tomorrow’s baristas.
How soon until a college degree–even a graduate degree–is generally perceived by employers as being quite worthless? At least, unhappily, in the humanities (although, as Heather MacDonald has written about, the sciences are now being corrupted, as well). Then the important requirements will be:
Can you read?
Can you write?
Can you do basic math?
Can you speak standard English?
The things we used to learn in grades 1-7.
The Universities should be sued by students and parents of students for damages and fraud.
The Rights of students and parents are being massively violated and the US Justice Department and the FBI do absolutely nothing about it.
The GOP should be able to find a way to redress the situation.
American political depravity and collapse of the American legal system are all too obvious now.
American citizens and Patriots must defend and protect their Rights,
themselves, their families and friends and kindred spirits.
Putting a halt to this American depravity going on in the colleges and Universities and the US Justice System is necessary. America may be on the brink of a kind of political and social dissolution that have never happened before in America.
Wake Up America and US Citizens before it is really too late.
The elite political ruling class and its oligarchy be damned.
Pardon me but saying that “the GOP should be able to find a way to redress the situation” conflicts with your comment the “elite political ruling class and its oligarchy be damned.”
How? The GOP and the democrat wings of the uniparty are equally subservient to this country’s ruling class elites. Consequently, it’s disingenuous to imply that the GOP alone can redress the situation–whatever that is.. They have no incentive to do anything beyond what they’re currently doing which is to flap their gums for a media news bite but do nothing of any real consequence.
Moreover, it’s naive to think that politicians on both sides of the political aisle are answerable to the American people. They’re not and haven’t been for decades. They’re answerable to the ruling class elites who they’re subservient to and the mega-corporation oligarchs who fill their campaign coffers.
To …. Rob A …
I stand corrected.
….saying that “the GOP should be able to find a way to redress the situation” conflicts with your comment the “elite political ruling class and its oligarchy be damned.”

In future I will try to be more alert and logically discerning when writing and thinking.
Thanks.
No problem.
Full disclosure:: I was once a diehard republican up until George W. Bush and the neocons ran me out of the party circa 2003. I’ve been a registered independent every since.
Since then I’ve been able to think objectively about politics in this country without any political bias which has afforded me a high level of immunity to partisan bullsh*t.
I’m a strong proponent of the saying: “How can you tell when a politician is lying? Answer: their lips are moving.”
You are not alone in your willingness to honestly assess the Rep party and come away feeling abandoned and disgusted. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough Americans do the same and work for a re-structuring of the party or create a new one. It will be a very long time, if ever, before enough people wake from their comfortable slumber to actually take the time to assess and respond to the fact they are not being represented but ruled.
So we have anymore reasons t defund the Collages then this if their going to side with radicals their not worthy of any support they can get Gates or Soros to do that
Democrats reward Criminal Behavior. Thats how you know everything is upside down from where they should be. No society can survive these kind of radicals who are hell bent on depravity and lawlessness.
DEATH TO HAMAS..
God Bless Israel.
All this is thanks to the Biden administration’s open borders policy allowing untold numbers of fifth columnists infiltrating America. But this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the ultimate goals of espionage and sabotage once these sleeper cell members are activated. If China makes moves on Taiwan you can expect at minimum, American students being indoctrinated to support China just as they are being manipulated to support Hamas. But worse, if China decides to invade Taiwan, you can expect computer networks being hacked as part of the greater sabotage plan to destroy the infrastructure that maintains social order such as: hospitals, police communications, power stations, potable water treatment plants and more.
We might complain now about Muslims and their reach to indoctrinate in the halls of academia but that’s amateurish in contrast to what all these illegal military aged men from China will do when it comes time for their sleeper cells to be activated.
Universities have caved to meritless student protests for two generations. I can’t imagine why responsible parents send their children to these schools.
