CONLEY COMMENTARY (WSAU) – I was disappointed to learn yesterday that, Syracuse University, my alma mater, is the latest campus where pro-Palestinian demonstrations have popped up on the quad.
What started as a small group of 20-or-so tents grew steadily during the day.
My school has at least some students who throw their lot in with terrorists, beheaders, rapists and hostage takers. They openly side with evil.
When I attended school there (class of ‘91), Jewish students were a large and vibrant part of the university community. I’m saddened and outraged that my fellow alumni might be intimidated into not visiting the campus, and that current Jewish students must endure these anti-semetic protests. Make no mistake, these campus thugs have sided with Hamas, a terrorist group, whos charter calls for the elimination of Israel and the removal of Jews “from the river to the sea.”
One of my pet peeves at Syracuse when I was a student there was the number of affirmative action students in my classes. In the name of diversity Syracuse let in large numbers of academically unqualified students. If you were ever assigned to a group project with an affirmative action student, they were unable to pull their weight. Group papers would have to be re-written to cover for others who couldn’t write standard English. Other students had to carry more of the workload because affirmative action students didn’t have the academic qualifications to do the work.
Suppose, hypothetically, I set up a protest on the Syracuse University quad calling for the school to stop affirmative action admissions. My sign might say “let in only qualified students.” I’d immediately be branded as a racist. I’d be canceled or gas-lit.
Syracuse University is a private, not a public, school. It sits on private land. The only reason these protests are taking place is because the school administration allows them. I call on campus leadership to throw the terrorist sympathizers out, expel them, and if they refuse to leave campus, have them arrested.
I am ashamed of my university.
