Columbia Is Beyond Reform

(City Journal) Liel Leibovitz - At Columbia University, 800 students put up dozens of shiny new camping tents and renamed the campus the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. The American flag outside of what once was Dwight D. Eisenhower's office was replaced with the green flag of Hamas. Students with loudspeakers chanted, "There's no God but Allah, and Allah loves martyrs." Jewish students were told to "go back to Europe." What we're seeing on college campuses is the result of decades of deliberate planning by a network of administrators, lawmakers, NGOs, and media outlets. The throngs occupying Columbia's manicured lawns are the ones whom the university had indoctrinated into hating Israel and the Jews. And they are the ones who are now simply doing what they've been for so long instructed to do. Maybe it's time to let Columbia, Yale, and other elite schools become what they already basically are: finishing schools for the children of Chinese, Qatari, and other global elites. And let anyone interested in America's future pursue education elsewhere. The message out of Columbia is that there's nothing left on campus but fanatics awash in foreign funds. Let's waste no more time trying to reform the unreformable.
