Orwell lives on the American Campus - SF State Uber Alles

Submitted by Stan (United States), Jan 1, 2003 at 18:25

Take a walk on to the campus of San Francisco State. The hallways are splattered with anti-semitic graffiti in the form of posters exhorting the "Elders of the Protocols of Zion." Jewish students are regulary hounded and harassed by floating cabals of Arab youth, many of whom are not even registered students. The terms "militant, activist, or radical" are regularly used by political science and history faculty to describe "Palestinian terrorists" whereas the anti terrorist actions by the IDF to expunge their hostile borders of the likes of Islamic Jihadists and assorted terror cells, is systematically referred to as "Terrorism against the Freedom Loving Indigenous Palestinian People."

Jewish American students have been surrounded by roving Arab hordes on this campus and told to return to Russia and Poland, while the faculty exhalt the right of these alleged Arab students to "exercise their freedom of expression."

I suggest that any parent who intends to send his son or daughter to a State sponsored University or college, advise their child to head straight for the Science and Engineering Labs and have minimal contact with the Humanities and Political Science departments. More importantly, parents should encourage their children to read credible political and historical analyses of the middle eastern history and politics and to access the many excellent Websites, such as Mr. Pipes', to develop a more balanced and critical perspective.
