The stink of anti-Semitism at Columbia

As if any more proof is needed of the rot at core of American academia and the strange but very close ties between the American Left, Islamists and anti-Semites, here's a jaw-dropping article about Columia University

It's a capital of "thuggery" - a "ghastly state of racism and apartheid" - and it "must be dismantled."
A voice from America's crackpot fringe? Actually, Dabashi is a tenured professor and department chairman at Columbia University. And his views have resonated and been echoed in other areas of the university.

Columbia is at risk of becoming a poison Ivy, some critics claim, and tensions are high.

In classrooms, teach-ins, interviews and published works, dozens of academics are said to be promoting an I-hate-Israel agenda, embracing the ugliest of Arab propaganda, and teaching that Zionism is the root of all evil in the Mideast.

In three weeks of interviews, numerous students told the Daily News they face harassment, threats and ridicule merely for defending the right of Israel to survive.

- The question I have to ask myself is how did we allow this to happen. The slow but insidious infesting of our school systems from top to bottom with people who's political views are just a pencil width short of all out Marxism...

- I'm going to begin thinking about ways the American electorate, (those of us that have a stake with family's and the "mysterious" family values that seem to spook the secularists into a frenzy), can retake control of things and weed out the anti-family, anti-American hate mongers that seem to infest our institutions these days...

- Short of that we are in danger of allowing our children to be indoctrinated in ways I don't think we want to see in future generations. ...That from me and I'm a mild mannered guy not given to hyperbole and paranoia....
