In this episode of "The No-Longer-Hallowed Halls of Academia"...

Following in the virtue-signaling, self-victimizing steps of has-been Hollywooders like Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, what's-her-name, and former comedian Rosie O'Donnell, three privileged Yale professors have announced they're fleeing the United States for Canada -- where else? -- apparently terrified by President Donald Trump's fascistic ways.

The beyond smug professors -- Jason Stanley, Tim Snyder, and his wife Marcy Shore -- announced their departure in a ridiculous video they made for The New York Times titled "We Study Fascism. And We're Leaving the U.S."

Cool. Don't let the door hit you.

According to Yale Daily News, "history department power couple Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore, and philosophy professor Jason Stanley will begin teaching at the University of Toronto’s renowned Munk School in fall 2025."

"Power couple?" Where? Beyond the no-longer-hallowed halls of academia, I mean.

Here's more of the exciting [ahem] "news":

Philosophy professor Jason Stanley announced ...  he will leave Yale, while history professors Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore, who are married, decided to leave around the November elections. The three professors will work at Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. 

After the Trump administration threatened to deport two student protesters at Columbia and revoked $400 million in research funding from the school, Columbia agreed on Friday to concede to a series of demands from the Trump administration that included overhauling its protest policies and imposing external oversight on the school’s Middle Eastern studies department.

“When I saw Columbia completely capitulate, and I saw this vocabulary of, well, we’re going to work behind the scenes because we’re not going to get targeted — that whole way of thinking presupposes that some universities will get targeted, and you don’t want to be one of those universities, and that’s just a losing strategy,” Stanley [said].

Meanwhile, Shore told Inside Higher Ed that the Munk School had long attempted to recruit her and Snyder and that the couple had seriously considered the offers “for the past two years.” Shore said the couple decided to take the positions after Trump's decisive November presidential election win.

Snyder and Shore claim to be experts in Eastern European history and have each drawn comparisons between the fascist governments they study and the current Trump administration. Uh-huh.

Stanley, a philosopher, has written extensively on fascism and propaganda, including the widely-read “How Fascism Works.” Widely read by whom?

In 2021, Stanley and Snyder co-led a Yale course called “Mass Incarceration in the Soviet Union and the United States.” In March, Stanley and Shore were among nearly 3,000 Jewish faculty nationwide who signed a letter condemning the arrest of a Columbia student protester and urging their universities to oppose the Trump administration’s policies aimed at higher education.

“I know Jason Stanley very well," Shore wrote, adding:

He’s been one of my most important interlocutors on political, historical and philosophical questions for the better part of a decade now. Wednesday. “I am thrilled that he’ll be joining us in Toronto [but] also, but also heartbroken at what’s happened to my own country.

Fine. Really. 

As I said, don't let the door hit you. Moreover, it's awesome that future Yale students won't become infected by the poison of these geniuses — although others will likely follow in their radical footsteps.

Conservative writer Glenn Greenwald appropriately called the video "one of the most cringeworthy acts of narcissism and self-victimhood imaginable."

While these "distinguished" professors might "study fascism," they do so from a politically predisposed perspective -- not dissimilar to the way the left-wing media "study" the news. They then "teach" (indoctrinate) their students on the subject. Again, much like how "journalists" of the left-wing media "report" the news.

The Bottom Line

Good riddance. Even better, as we learned in the presidential election, Democrat crossover voters and an increasing number of younger voters are now embracing conservatism. 

While a large percentage of these voters might have supported Trump after four years of the Biden regime, and were fereaful of what America would likely look like during four years of a Harris-Walz administration, it's also a safe bet that many voted for Trump because of the promises he made -- which he is now delivering on in unprecedented fashion.

The nation’s elite academic institutions have lost the plot and become full-on indoctrination centers. 

Trump is fighting back.
