In recent years, American
universities have invested millions of dollars in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The goal, of course,
was to scrub campuses clean of the last vestiges of bigotry and racial discrimination.
How’d that work out? Not so
well. All across America, student protesters are spewing antisemitic bile, intimidating
Jewish students, and scuffling with police.
Racism is most pronounced at
the nation’s elite schools—Harvard, Yale, Columbia, etc. A degree from one of these swank institutions
costs a quarter of a million dollars. Yet students are willing to sabotage
their own education to promote Islamic terrorism and persecute Jews.
Professors have primarily sided
with the anti-Israel mobs. When college presidents summon the police to rid their
campuses of disruptive protesters, the faculty howls in outrage.
Meanwhile, chaos reigns. Columbia has stopped face-to-face instruction due to safety concerns and switched to
online teaching. USC canceled this year’s main commencement ceremony for the
same reason. At the University of Texas, professors have called for a work stoppage to show their support for the anti-Israel protests.
Here’s my advice to young
people who think an Ivy League education is a ticket to a better life: Steer clear of the elite universities. Our nation’s most prestigious colleges have
become cesspools of antisemitism and racial intolerance. Don’t take out student loans to attend one of these morally bankrupt institutions. You’d be better off going to trade school to become a plumber. You’ll meet a better class of people.
