Letter to the editor: University leftists

The insanity of the far left was on display for all to see as the presidents of Harvard, Penn and MIT testified in Congress regarding whether it was against their schools’ codes of conduct to call for the genocide of Jews.

None of the three could bring themselves to state unequivocally “yes” to a simple question asked repeatedly by Rep. Elise Stefanik. Instead, these three offered up a verbal salad of hot garbage citing things like “context” and “if this and if that” nonsense to what should have been a simple “yes.”

This was a clear example of the left leanings of many college leaders in America. In the meantime, they have no trouble helping block conservative speakers from their campuses.

As of this writing only Liz Magill of Penn has resigned under pressure, while the other two attempt to walk back their blatant ignorance. Another leftist will probably replace her, but at least more Americans got a glimpse inside the rat’s nest. Politicians from both parties are calling for investigations of these universities and their funding. So much for allowing kids to hear all voices. This makes one see that diversity of thought is not welcome.

Sadly, this is but one glaring example of how our leftist university leadership thinks and acts. It was once assumed you sent your kids to college to expand their horizons and be exposed to all sides of issues and thought. In reality, you’re sending them out for four years of brainwashing and group think.
