Not to be outdone by the ‘restorative justice’ being meted out by their rival to the south, Princeton, Harvard leaders have announced their own sort of amnesty for the Hamas-supporting radicals who have harassed and intimidated fellow students in recent months.’ WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding anti-Semitism on college campuses:“Earlier this week, I discussed the growing problem with BDS, or Bibi Derangement Syndrome. Of course, there’s an older and similarly noxious form of BDS: the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction movement.“This other BDS been incubating on college campuses for the last decade, and right now, it’s making news at Harvard.“This is unfortunate, but at this point it shouldn’t surprise anyone. Remember – Cambridge, Massachusetts was ground zero for the current wave of anti-Semitism sweeping so-called elite education.“Not to be outdone by the ‘restorative justice’ being meted out by their rival to the south, Princeton, Harvard leaders have announced their own sort of amnesty for the Hamas-supporting radicals who have harassed and intimidated fellow students in recent months.“In exchange for dispersing from Harvard Yard, the interim president and the Dean will be meeting with the Crimson Red Guards, quote, ‘to hear their perspectives on academic matters relating to longstanding conflicts in the Middle East.’“The interim President also acknowledges, quote, ‘the profound grief’ people feel over ‘the effects of the ongoing war.’ And the campus’ Hamas sympathizers will also receive a meeting with a top official from the Harvard Corporation to address questions about the University’s endowment!“Boycott, divest, sanction – BDS. It seems that the lesson at our country’s oldest university is this: lawless radicalism works.“Perhaps it’s time for the American people to boycott, divest, and sanction the Ivy League.”###Related Issues: EducationPrintEmailTweetPreviousTHE NEWSROOMSENATE RESOURCESABOUT LEADER McCONNELLFacebookTwitterInstagram
