The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Columbia University, Higher-Ed’s “Partisan, Political,” Refusal to Protect Jewish Students
What is it going to take for universities like Columbia University to start protecting their Jewish students? Having the President of the United States cut off $400 million in federal funding is a good start, says Victor Davis Hanson in today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ It's widespread in higher education and the country's been appalled by it. But for some reason, higher education seems to equate Jewish Americans and, by definition, Israel with the white oppressor side of their Marxist binary, which is non-white oppressed versus white oppressor.
“ For a long time, the university has decided that it will make no more pretense that it's disinterested. It's partisan, and it's political, and it's left-wing, and it's proud of it.”
