Nothing new, but it bears repeating

Reader comment on item: Columbia University vs. America

Submitted by Menahem Dunsky (United States), Apr 1, 2003 at 16:39

Actually I had no idea that these sentiments were so widespread! Said's was the only name known to me.
It begs the question: why does Columbia tolerate such venom? How many other Universities do? How can institutions of higher learning hate their own country so much? Is it only political correctness, or is it more than that?
