Anti-woke Republicans attacked Columbia University. It capitulated | Alisa Solomon, Marianne Hirsch, Sarah Haley and Helen Benedict

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Sadly, there have, as there have been anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim incidents; all of them must be addressed clearly and firmly.
56% : The campaign against the independence of higher education has now found incendiary fuel from a new ally: a longstanding, well-organized movement to stifle pro-Palestinian speech in American theaters, art spaces, literary venues and schools.
44% : While it is probably impossible to come out entirely unscathed from hearings that are largely designed to produce gotcha social media moments for the Maga base, President Shafik did not have to align herself with the anti-intellectual and anti-democratic bigotry of the questioners or accede to their cynical weaponization of antisemitism, a move that dangerously makes Jews the face of repression.
42% : Such efforts to squelch expansive learning have torn through K-12 education across the country with bannings of books by Black, queer and Jewish authors, and have made devastating forays into public universities in several states, where it is no longer permissible to teach with intellectual honesty about such subjects as the history of slavery and the complexities of gender.
