Hamas’s Barbarity Heightens the Crisis in Higher Education

Jewish students bear the brunt of colleges’ culture of intolerance, conformity and ‘safe spaces.’

By Michael R. Bloomberg. Excerpts:

"Intentionally targeting civilians for slaughter is inexcusable no matter the political circumstances. 

For Americans, this isn’t a matter of defending Israel but of defending our nation’s most sacred values."

"In a 2014 commencement speech at Harvard, I warned that many of America’s top colleges had become Soviet-like in their lack of viewpoint diversity."

"It is no surprise that support for terrorism, dressed in the language of social justice, has emerged from this environment."

"no student should ever feel physically intimidated or unsafe going to or speaking in class, as many Jewish students have lately."

"presidents and deans should make a priority of hiring faculty with greater viewpoint diversity"
