Ohio State University in recent years has, for some odd reason, begun calling itself, "The Ohio State University". More understandable would be if we began referring to Brown University in Rhode Island as, "The Brown University" in the style that Germany's Erlangen University gained that moniker as early as 1929 when it became the first university in Germany to have a majority of its student government members of the Nazi Party.
In recent years, Brown has experienced a number of events that have brought the school discredit. So it was this month when an anti-Israel "teach-in" was held to blast Israel. Dissenting voices not welcome.
Cinnamon Stillwell of Campus Reform has the report.

If any of you are wondering what a teach-in is, it is when a bunch of leftist professors hold an event to indoctrinate the students to their world view on a number of issues. It is an exercise in pure propaganda.
In the 1960s students weren't afraid to ask stale professors tough questions. They should start doing that again.
ReplyDeleteI still remember the time some Maoist group had a forum on the middle east, and I casually asked if they were aware that Lenin had endorsed the Balfour Declaration. They weren't.
