Tell me you don’t know anything about Chicago in ‘68, without…well, you know the rest.To be clear, I don't *want* there to be mass protests and/or violence in Chicago. Quite the opposite. The stakes are high in November.

So maybe y'all should start acting like it instead of going out of your way to alienate young voters!
I’m also not sure the residents of NYC around Columbia actually a major electoral group.
I know, I know:”outside agitators.” But it’s a little early to declare Columbia the new Berkeley. It may have more to do with Columbia than students nationwide.Columbia and NYPD reportedly failed to keep non-Columbia antisemites off campus. The interlopers stalked, berated, and attacked Jewish students. https://t.co/JiTiI32tDF pic.twitter.com/gH3JVQnA17

It’s not like the Yippies in ‘68 defeated Nixon, either. Or that young people elected McGovern four years later.
So like I said…
I do have to wonder how many of those RIGHTLY decrying manifestations of antisemitism on college campuses (and why so specifically only on campuses?) were the first to cry "political correctness" when it was Black People, Latinos, etc. who were targeted by white supremacists on campus, in classrooms, among faculties. Scientific racism has certainly been a feature of academic publishing for the past half century and more, especially as "science" and "social science."
ReplyDeleteThe incredible ability to amplify the sound of antisemtism when it can be turned into an attack on "liberals" on campuses as opposed to Republican-fascists even on the floor of Congress is rather telling as to the motives of babbling and scribbling about it.
