Prof: To Stop Campus Craziness, Stop Donating Money
Hit them where it hurts.
Walter E. Williams is a professor at George Mason University. He has advice for Americans who want to stop all the craziness on college campuses.
He writes at The Daily Signal:
Let’s Hit Left-Wing Colleges Where It Hurts. In the Pocketbook.
Parents, taxpayers, and donors have little idea of the levels of lunacy, evil, and lawlessness that have become features of many of today’s institutions of higher learning.
Parents, taxpayers, and donors who ignore or are too lazy to find out what goes on in the name of higher education are nearly as complicit as the professors and administrators who promote or sanction the lunacy, evil, and lawlessness.
As for the term “institutions of higher learning,” we might start asking: Higher than what?
Let’s look at a tiny sample of academic lunacy.
During a campus debate, Purdue University professor David Sanders argued that a logical extension of pro-lifers’ belief that fetuses are human beings is that pictures of “a butt-naked body of a child” are child pornography.
Clemson University’s chief diversity officer, Lee Gill, who’s paid $185,000 a year to promote inclusion, provided a lesson claiming that to expect certain people to be on time is racist.
To reduce angst among snowflakes in its student body, the University of California, Hastings College of the Law has added a “Chill Zone.” The Chill Zone, located in its library, has, just as most nursery schools have, mats for naps and beanbag chairs…
Americans who see themselves as either liberal or conservative should rise up against this totalitarian trend on America’s college campuses.
I believe the most effective way to do so is to hit these campus tyrants where it hurts the most—in the pocketbook. Lawmakers should slash budgets, and donors should keep their money in their pockets.
Donations tax deductible
to the full extent allowed by law.
Comments
When your University does something stupid, print out the article, since links can break.
When you get the mailers, send back everything with a copy of stupid article, explaining that’s why you are not donating.
If you get a phone call, read some of the headlines to the students calling and again, say that you are not donating until you see some good news coming out of the university.
Somehow, I am getting fewer calls and letters these days.
Agreed, Plus there are actually College’s who still believe in real education that could use your support.
A young lady had the misfortune of having to call me the day I saw that the University of Colorado now has a dedicated, “Social Justice Warrior” dorm.
I have been telling them for several years I won’t donate until I see some improvement in their slide to the far left.
This time I just said, “Not just no, but hell no” and hung up. I’m done with their foolishness.
Thank you for your donation request. My response will be the same as yours to my request for you to fire the Socialist professors who are still there. Looking forward to your next donation request.
