STANDING UP: Columbia University President Lee Bollinger deserves great credit for taking a stand in a time where inmates are running the asylum. Most universities — as we all know — have gone off the deep end in cowering and catering to the puerile whims of youngsters. (Oberlin College ring a bell?)
One of the most awful examples has been the BDS movement on campuses. You want more Ilhan Omars? This is how you get more Ilhan Omars. From Bollinger’s earlier statement:
“I plead with everyone on our campus to be careful and vigilant against legitimate debate turning into anger, then to hatred and demonization, and invidious discrimination,” he said.
Disclosure: He also penned of the foreword for the upcoming fifth edition of my book, so I’m both biased and proud.
