| The Other Perfesser: University Presidents 'have participated in the creation of a monstrous movement on campuses' |
| 2024-04-30 |
| by William A. Jacobson [LegalInsurrection] My interview on The Daily Signal Podcast: “They have participated in the creation of a monstrous movement on campuses that is anti-American, anti-Western, anti-capitalist, and that uses targeting of Jews and Israel as an organizing mechanism…. It is a tear down the statues ideology. It is remove names from buildings ideology. It is a deconstruction of our society. It is very reminiscent to me of a Khmer Rouge in Cambodia sort of ideology, where you go back to Year Zero.” I appeared Daily Signal Podcast on April 24, 2024, hosted by Virginia Allen. I’ve been on the DS podcast many times, and I appreciate how Virginia makes the guest the spotlight, not the host. Here’s the segment as written up by the DS, What’s Behind Antisemitic Protests on College Campuses: Pro-Palestine protests on the campuses of some of America’s most elite colleges have resulted in hundreds of arrests and led Columbia University in New York to move classes online for the remainder of the semester.

| #1 It started going bad a long time ago. I blame the idea that college degree is a licence to make money. |
