Does it strike anyone else as ironically humorous that these kids were very indignant about cultural misappropriation, such as wearing sombreros on Halloween or cornrowed braids or dreads when white are now proudly wearing Palestinian scarves?
Great point. Somebody nationally prominent should make that point.
I remember being in college in the 1980s. I went to a speech by Jean Kirkpatrick, who was UN Ambassador under Reagan and a noted neocon. A very noisy bunch of protesters entered the hall and tried to shout her down every time she spoke. Although I didn't agree with Kirkpatrick's policies, I wanted to hear what she had to say and was very annoyed at the intolerant protesters that were making it impossible.
(Actually, I started to notice that i saw the same protesters at every demonstration, regardless of the cause. I think a lot of these people weren't even registered students, but rather "professional" protestors.)
That's why I say it's not new. But these protesters weren't led by, coached by or supported by the faculty or administration. That's why i say it's not indoctrination. No one was coercing me into changing my viewpoint.
I say give our young people a bit of credit. They are not mindless zombies who absorb every radical teaching they are exposed to. They may be influenced by what they are taught, but in the end everyone has freedom to believe what they believe.
Exactly. Although I am still only in the high school part of my kids' education, I can see how they no lnoger teacher kids to write properly. They don't teach them cursive. They don't required them to make any speeches because they don't want to little snowflakes to get anxious. If I had it to do over, I would 100% put my kids' in private or parochial schools.
Did you go to private school? Because your post is riddled with mispelling and grammatical errors.
It's not as though we're talking about some sort of supernatural causation here, as it pertains to cognitive capture. The techniques are well understood by psychologists, are foundations taught to intelligence field operatives, and are often strategies deployed by psychopathic cult leaders. The only real distinction in the case of this pseudo-religion that has swept the nation (and West more broadly) is one of scale, and that's easily explained by a combination of injecting certain ideas into the culture and leveraging a combination of modern technology and economic theory to provide speed of transmission and socioeconomic incentive to perform. This is literally a function of using algorithms to self-perpetuate derangement of Social Capital via Goodhart's Law in the wake of smartphone ubiquity. It's as genius as it is diabolical.
Nonsense. The university students and faculties are protesting the actions of the Israeli military in what they see as the lack of restraint against the civilians in Gaza. Nazi indoctrination? Do you all understand Nazi philosophy in regards to Jews.
Classic Nazi philosophy was strict anti semitism. That is to believe Jews were so biologically flawed and such a danger to humankind that they had to be removed from society and exterminated. I’m not aware that universities are promoting anything like this. Sometimes our posters seem to verge on hysteria.
Well......................... this is what democrats believe today.
Dem/Libs keep trying to tell us they are not nazis, yet ALL OF THEIR POLICIES seem to be the same as the Nazis.
1. Anti-semiticism
2. restriction of free speech
3. banning books
4. attacking political opponants
5. using illegal tactics against voices of opposition
6. jailing Jan 6th political prisoners
7. use of thugs like ANTIFA and BLM
8. "rent a riot" tactics
9. attacks on Christianity so that the state would be the "new religion"
10. Support and allies with radical Islam
11. Indoctrination systems in universities and through youth groups
12. Use of propaganda to rally the supporters
13. Complete control of the media to shape opinion
14. Use of government forces (FBI,DOJ,CIA) to attack citizens
There you have it- All Dems/Libs need to do is wear black uniforms and jack boots and they would be identical to the Nazis from Germany.

These are far-left policies. Don’t pain everyone a broad brush. That’s Nazism.
Over the past 30 years, we have seen a rise in intolerance and hatred fomented and supported at US universities. In the name of "tolerance" and "acceptance", students have been beguiled to HATE conservatives, white people, Christians, Jews, and those with differing political views. Not only that, free speech is DEAD at American colleges; anyone who disagrees with far left ideology is vilified, speeches canceled, grades reduced, or physically attacked simply for what they think.
There is absolutely no difference between the Nazis of the 1930s and Far Left students on US campuses. These students did not enter their institutions full of hate and intolerance- they learned it there. The only difference between the Nazis of old and the new nazis- American liberals- is the uniforms and the salute. Otherwise, the behavior and actions is identical.
How long will states continue to fund public universities who are breeding the next generation of terrorists and those who oppose western values? Will donors finally wake up and stop funding these institutions of hate? How in the world did universities, which are supposed to promote acceptance and tolerance of differing ideas, become so hateful and radicalized?
No, but they are Republican hating, America hating, democracy hating, socialist loving indoctrination organizations. You don’t dare say you are conservative or you will be mocked by many professors and staff. There are nazis on both the left and right, so universities are not necessarily pro Nazi, but they are definitely anti American.
Yes, Universities have always had far left students protesting something! A few like Columbia and Berkely etc have always been a hot bed of radicals. We certainly don't need another Kent State tragedy.
I think what is happening in Gaza is the driving force and not separating Jewish people from Israeli policy right now, just like after 9/11 every Muslim that breathed was hated even though they didn't have a hand in it.
