Columbia is currently facing four lawsuits from Jewish students alleging violation of Title VI. Its repeated statements that the atmosphere on campus might violate Title VI--coupled with lethargic action by the administration--can't help its defense in those lawsuits.
Leadership of anti-Israel CUNY faculty union expresses concern that even more fanatically anti-Israel faction of union is about to violate NYS labor law. Periodic reminder that, thanks to the Janus decision, no CUNY prof has to pay dues to this organization.
A few words about the protests/encampments at Columbia: Back in December 2018, when I was a junior, a white student named Julian Von Abele was filmed going on an ethno-centric rant about how much he loved white people. He said things like: “White people are the best thing that…
Occupying a campus building, blocking students from attending classes, and vandalizing property is not protected by the First Amendment, full stop. It’s illiberal. It’s illegal. And it should be punished.

60yrs ago today, LBJ rebuking the (overly loquacious) Hubert Humphrey for mischaracterizing his position on the civil rights bill to the press.
It's fine to refer to these colloquially as "Gaza encampments" or "pro-Palestine protests" but it's also important to be specific: In large block letters, Berkeley demonstrators make clear this is in support of Palestinian armed resistance. aka Hamas.
NEW: One of the most outspoken supporters of the Columbia encampment, classics professor Joseph Howley, is leading a review of the required humanities curriculum for all undergraduates. Every student at Columbia will have to read the texts he assigns.🧵
What we are seeing here is protesters on American campuses, in 2024, spreading antizionist canards originating in Soviet Cold War propaganda. I wrote about this specific lie when I analyzed Mahmoud Abbas’s Soviet dissertation for @tabletmag. Abbas, of course, didn’t invent it…
"The University of Florida is not a day care, and we do not treat protesters like children." Meanwhile, at Ivy League schools, students are try to get their arrest records expunged so the arrests won't follow them into their "adult lives." Who's going to tell them?
Every school will eventually get there, no matter how craven it’s leadership.

Yes. Excellent point.
A deep oddity confronting anyone who starts thinking about these issues is that if "gender affirming care" affirms gender, then gender must be directly related to one's sexed body, but it's also an axiom of the pro-affirmation view that one's gender is independent of one's body.
@kcjohnson9 Perhaps she needs to strenuously urge those in the encampment to voluntarily disperse.
They didn't do this when Josh Rogin from Wash Post was there so it's not really happening.
This is at Columbia. They first chant that Abbas, President of the PA, is a spy & they will step on his head (bc of his comments acknowledging Israel’s right to exist) & then chant Palestine should only be Arab. Don’t let anyone gaslight you about the nature of these protests.
From the people who brought you "the mass murder, rape, and torture of civilians is actually brave resistance!" comes "EATING A BANANA IN FRONT OF ME IS UNACCEPTABLE VIOLENCE!"
There was a protestor in the liberated zone at @UCLA with a potentially fatal banana allergy. Counterprotestors invaded the encampment and saw all the no bananas warnings. The next day they came back waving bananas like settlers waving machine guns & smeared bananas everywhere.
If you ever wondered what you would’ve done in the Weimar/early Nazi days when Jews were being squeezed out of universities and polite society, with increasing antisemitic graffiti and vandalism, it’s what you’re doing now.
The lesson everyone should be taking from the DSA saga is that maximal unionism just doesn't really work if you apply it to political/non-profit organizations, and if you're going to unionize those places you need to adjust your scope accordingly
Good thread on the DSA union situation. It has been depressing to see some socialists make arguments indistinguishable from right wing arguments against public sector unions.
