Intellectual Rot


For John, BLUFYes, there does seem to be Intellectual Rot in our Ivy League Schools, and it is disturbing.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




Here is the tweet:

The overt support for Hamas killers by the diversity, equity, and inclusion crowd on a lot of campuses exposes to Americans the real moral and intellectual rot in higher education. https://victorhanson.com/hamas-and-amoral-clarity/ via @VDHanson
Do you think these people identify with those calling out "Gas the Jews"?  In my lifetime 6 million Jews were killed, a couple of million of whom were gassed, along with others.  A total of 12 million died, including Roma and Sinti.  And that was just in Germany and German occupied territory.  And about a decade before I was born there was the Holodomor, brought to Ukraine by Joseph Stalin.  The death toll is estimated as being between 3.5 and 5 million human beings.  And that was just in Europe.

We, as a People, need to do better.  We need to view individuals as individuals, and not as lumps of people to be praised or despised.  We need to do better in this Century.
