What is going on in higher education in America? I mean, we’ve reported multiple stories about how today’s snowflake students are “triggered” by any viewpoint that is contrary to theirs, how censorship is rampant and free-thinking is virtually outlawed, and how wokeness, DEI, and transgender ideology have become the focus of almost everything.

All that being said, did you ever think you’d be hearing young American college students giving their full-throated endorsement to the heinous Hamas terror attacks where babies were murdered, families were slaughtered, and innocents were burned alive? Yet, that’s exactly what we’re seeing in institution after institution.

The most infamous example so far is the group of 30 or so "Palestinian Solidarity" groups from Harvard University—supposedly one of the preeminent educational institutions in the nation—who issued a statement:

We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.

This declaration caused widespread outrage, and as I reported, Harvard President Emeritus and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers was flat-out disgusted, writing on the social media platform X, “In nearly 50 years of @Harvard affiliation, I have never been as disillusioned and alienated as I am today.”

In another post, he blasted university leadership:

The silence from Harvard’s leadership, so far, coupled with a vocal and widely reported student groups' statement blaming Israel solely, has allowed Harvard to appear at best neutral towards acts of terror against the Jewish state of Israel.

Harvard eventually—after a long period of silence—finally distanced themselves from the affair with a wishy-washy statement, but it was too little too late. 

But the Ivy League heavyweight is far from the only school harboring students who coddle terrorists and endorse unspeakable acts; colleges and universities across the nation are seeing this phenomenon. As my colleague streiff reported, the University of Wisconsin-Madison saw similar sympathies from its undergrads:

Stumbled upon a protest today at the @UWMadison campus, gross chants including “glory to the murders”

Students at Tufts University in Boston, meanwhile, lauded the creativity of the paragliders who swooped down to massacre Israelis:

Another example of the moral collapse in higher education: Students at @TuftsUniversity praise Hamas terrorists for their "creativity" in butchering Israeli civilians.

Images of Jewish blood and pain are filling progressive antisemites with ecstasy.https://t.co/QZAB5AiW4A

The Tufts student group issued a repulsive statement:

Tufts' Students for Justice in Palestine group called the terrorists 'liberation fighters paragliding into occupied territory,' adding that they had  'especially shown the creativity necessary to take back stolen land.'

The message added: 'It has not been without cost, as hundreds of Palestinians have been martyred in the past days, fighting to liberate themselves and their land.'

New York University's Law School Bar Association president also weighed in with a despicable take:

Ryna Workman, the far-left non-binary president of @nyulaw Bar Association sent a newsletter saying the mass murder of Israeli civilians was a “necessary” part of the resistance. Such extremist sentiments in support of terrorism are common at universities.https://t.co/U7xPM6sVhk

What madress is this?

Luckily, there’s still some sanity left in the world, and the law firm that had offered her a job came to its senses after her repugnant post:

Ryna Workman, 24, a non-binary student at NYU's School of Law sent a weekly newsletter saying the murder of innocent Israeli children, women, and citizens this past week was is Israel's 'full responsibility.'

On Tuesday, the law firm Winston & Strawn - which regularly highlights its legal work representing the LGBTQ+ community - told DailyMail.com in a statement that their offer of employment to Workman has been rescinded. 

This article is by no means meant to be an exhaustive list of all the incidents where university staff and students have come out in support of the barbarism unleashed by Hamas on innocent women, children, and civilians. That would take a few more thousand words. 

We’ve known for some time that the higher education system in America has become poisoned by wokeism, Marxism, and far-left ideology, but the depths to which they’ve sunk are still astonishing. Obviously, not every student and every professor backs these grotesque views, but the fact that so many do is alarming, to say the least. 

There is no answer in how to solve this systemic problem, but solve it we must, because even though these politically extreme institutions might anger us, they nevertheless will likely produce our next generation of leaders.
