Colgate Faculty Hold Teach-in Focused on ‘Resistance’ to ICE
“citizens being killed by a masked police force”
This is not only inappropriate but also beneath the role of professors. At least, it should be.

Colgate faculty hold teach-in to discuss ‘resistance’ to ICE, police
Earlier this month, members of Colgate University’s faculty held a teach-in on “immigration enforcement, policing and resistance strategies” at the campus’ Center for Women’s Studies.
The Colgate Maroon-News‘s Ella Cuneo reminds readers that teach-ins “are a form of activism popularized by students during the Vietnam War.”
Anthropology Professor Santiago Juarez began the confab by comparing the contemporary United States to mid-1950s Guatemala — when the CIA helped orchestrate a coup in that country.
In order to “establish authority,” Juarez said the military dictatorship installed by the U.S. “targeted and killed” the indigenous descendants of the Maya — like what the U.S. is currently doing to “immigrant groups” here at home.
Juarez added those past actions are “directly responsible” for the ongoing flow of migrants from that country, and he dubbed ICE enforcement “fascist oppression” — “citizens being killed by a masked police force.”
Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Professor Nimanthi Rajasingham (pictured), who according to her faculty page “studies popular rural festivals, female workers’ theater, novels on ethnic war, theaters of trauma and violence, and protest art and literatures,” claimed ICE “initially” had been used to “to repress civilian concerns in the U.S. about the Iraq War.”
Rajasingham tied that premise to the current situation with Iran, saying “false claims” have been made about that country’s nuclear weapons ambitions, and that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks “militarized the police in a way that has yet to be undone.”

chi is mobilizing their kids in their communist supported may day march
You still fail to recognize we are in a CIVIL WAR. The left has declared war on the USA and plans to turn. It into a socialist/communist country. The war is being financed and directed by foreign governments and has slowly grown over several decades. The republican party has ignored or failed to recognize the threat placing our Constitutional government at risk of being overthrown at the ballot box and if not, then by armed insurrection. State by state the country will slowly fall. Who is sponsoring and committing the violence on our streets? What has happened with our state governments in NY, MA MN CA OR WA IL etc? Wait for the tipping point!
