Columbia University may be beyond saving. This is such an insult to the entire country.
The New York Post reports:
Latest Columbia protesters prove they are anti-American — and other students are sick of itColumbia University’s anti-Israel protesters have a knack for making any moment about them — even Veterans Day.On Monday afternoon, a gaggle of keffiyeh-clad Ivy Leaguers congregated in the school’s quad to counter-demonstrate as the rest of us recognized the men and women who have bravely served our nation. And some students are over it.November 11 was not Veterans Day, according to the student group Columbia University Apartheid Divest. No, actually it was Martyrs Day.“Veterans Day is an American holiday to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of veterans,” the group wrote in an Instagram post promoting the event. “We reject this holiday and refuse to celebrate it. The American war machine should not be honored for the horrors unleashed on others.“Instead we will celebrate Martyrs Day in honor of those martyred by the Israel-US war machine — a day to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of those martyrs,” the group declared.Apparently none of them checked Google, but Martyrs Day is already a holiday — every January 30 — in India, marking the 1948 assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.Around 80 somber students observed their newly invented holiday on campus Monday.
