  1. Well I guess that the Great Books and Great Conversation tradition has ended.
    Too bad. All gone,
    None of those radicalized yutes would even get what I referenced.
    Neither would their woke profs.
    Call me old school civilized.
    There are, however, larger cycles. and whirlwinds still to be reaped.
    Abide.

  2. This isn’t new, there have been around since the 60s, now there are more drones, and they have the support of the faculty.

  3. They’ll lose.
    Eventually.
    As soon as these cowards really force the “violence as a solution” shit, they’ll be stacked up like cordwood by good men with morals.
    And guns.

  5. We are beset by tens of thousands of narcissistic “educators” who believe their assignment is not to educate students on how to think, but on what to think.
    We are all complicit in this failure for having treated educators in middle and high schools with too much respect for far too long. Parents have to inculcate in their children the willingness to call out nonsense when they hear it, and a willingness to happily tell liars to go to hell; and lastly, to forward their own sensible alternatives to the bullshit the educational manure spreader distributes.

  6. “I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write about what I observed recently in Edmonton and Calgary, but people deserve to know who is among them, and their children.

    Three days ago in Edmonton, I was giving a talk at the University of Alberta alongside one of the world’s leading Arab peace activists. We were speaking about Jewish-Arab reconciliation and the need to combat antisemitism and extremism. Within moments of me beginning my speech, I was interrupted by a young man wearing a keffiyeh who began shouting at me from the back of the room about a variety of things. He was manic and incoherent. I spoke over him and did not engage. Eventually, he was removed by security, and the remainder of the event went smoothly. It was the next day, however, that I had a deeply concerning interaction with another student.

    At the University of Calgary, where we were giving the same speech, I was approached by a young engineering student named Mohamad after the event. Calm, cool, and collected, Mohamed explained to me that Jews in Israel would be treated fairly once the region is governed by an Islamic caliphate. He spoke about the superiority of Islamic law, expressed sympathy and even support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, equated the hostages with prisoners in Israel who’ve been found guilty of crimes like rape and murder, and suggested that it was Israel – not Hamas – that was to blame for the war.

    The thing is – Mohamad isn’t an outlier. There are thousands of young men and women living among us who share the same extremist beliefs – and who, over time, will shape our societies, our institutions, our culture, and the very DNA of our countries. We cannot sit by and hope these people will change, or assume they’ll grow out of it. They won’t. Mohamad and his peers will only become more wedded to their beliefs – and more dangerous. In this moment, I don’t have an answer or strategy to counter this threat – but I know my interaction with Mohamed scared the shit out of me. Not because I feared for my safety – but because I feared for my country – and my people.”

      1. Who is going to kick them out?
        Governments are full of them, not just schools.
        The voters love these people.

        1. I am well of that. But if people like Casey Babb can’t even envision the notion of expelling the threats then he and others like him have already lost the battle.

          There is no Canada-nice alternative that will solve the problem.

  7. Matthew 24 : 21, 22. NIV. Jesus speaking about the last days.

    21 “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.”
    22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.”

    To me it looks like the left/islam wins, for a while, then Jesus returns to clean things up.
