This has been an excellent piece to read. Yet I take issue with the very last word: Antisemitism. That's a word that still has the varnish of an acceptable policy. You know: Antidisestablishmentarianism, anti-communist, and for Seinfeld afficionados, anti-dentite. I much prefer "Jew hatred." Similarly, I prefer "Jew hater" to anti-semite. Don't give these bigoted low-lifes an inch. Their real animus is hatred, pure and simple. (Note: I got this idea from Russell Roberts, a Jew who is President of Shalem College in Jerusalem, and has abandoned any use of the word "antisemitism.")
Well, there's hope in some (too few) academic quarters at least. Grown ups in charge...what a concept! The best part of the column for me is the plain and accurate "pro-Hamas" in the headline, rather than the ridiculously sanitized descriptor "pro-Palestinian," which makes me cringe whenever I see and hear it.
Shouldn’t we be more concerned about Elizabeth Warren, calling Israel’s war “genocide” (in a mosque!) and Mark Pocan, who is salivating over the prospect of cutting off Israel?
Shouldn’t we be more concerned about the party that most Jews gave their heart and soul to, practically replacing the Jewish religion with the Democratic party, becoming the party of Jew-defamation and hatred?
When the kids come home after a suspension, since that probably terminates residence on campus as well, parents likely will take one of two positions: "You made your bed, now sleep in it" or "We'll sue."
For the latter there's considerable risk. From the Tenn statutes:
“[W]here a trial court grants a motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, the court shall award the party or parties against whom the dismissed claims were pending at the time the successful motion to dismiss was granted the costs and reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees incurred in the proceedings as a consequence of the dismissed claims by that party or parties. The awarded costs and fees shall be paid by the party or parties whose claim or claims were dismissed as a result of the granted motion to dismiss.” Id. (emphasis added).
This assumes dismissal would result from clear violations of acknowledged and agreed to university rules and state statutes, both prohibiting criminal trespass. Absent a showing of "I wasn't there" it would appear that no grantable claim of readmission/reinstatement is possible. Then, again, the university probably has an adjudication process. If the student loses there, as is likely, no grantable relief is available.
Imagine holding kids responsible for their actions ? What a concept !!
Yaa Vanderbilt !!

Never a word about the real genocide of 2 million Christians in Southern Sudan.
Great reporting. Thank you!
Puts me in a good mood
Love this and totally agree. Thank you.
Yeah, and all these societal crumbs are part of the COEXIST ilk.
The only thing dumber than a college professor is a college student.
