Progressive Fascists Now Literally Hunting Jews Hiding In Attics and Reporting Them to “The Authorities”
A “neighbor” spotted a Jewish child committing the crime of attending Talmudic school — maybe — and alerted the authorities to the crimes of the Furtive, Subversive Jewry.

Editor’s Note: This open letter was written by Jeffrey J. Poelvoorde, an associate professor of history and politics at Converse College. It is written in response to the administration’s decision to make all those employed by the college watch a series of videos on systemic racism acquired by the college’s department of “diversity and inclusion.”

My quarrel is not so much with the content of the materials the administration would impose upon us but rather the coercive imposition itself.
…
As Converse’s only traditional Jew, I have often played the role of informal Faculty Adviser to Converse’s Jewish students. Over the years I heard many tales of non-Jewish students constantly berating our Jewish students for not believing in Jesus or demanding of them to display their “horns.” (Talk to Michelangelo about that one.) As the Faculty Adviser for many years of Converse College’s Association of African-American Students, I listened to many of our Black students pouring their hearts out to me about the abuse and prejudice they faced from many of our White students. I counseled them to summon patience and to bear with the occasional departures of the College’s inhabitants from the College’s ideals.

I did this in the conviction that the best way to enable our students to overcome the challenges of religious and racial bigotry was to provide for them a genuine and rigorous liberal education which would equip them with the intellectual depth and spiritual fortitude to follow the lead of Booker T. Washington.

For many of my years at Converse, I have been the constant recipient of criticism and disparagement from fellow faculty and even administrators regarding my adherence to traditional Judaism. I have frequently been accused of being unprofessional or lacking in commitment to the College or in devotion to my students because of canceling or rescheduling classes that conflicted with Jewish holidays or because of non-participation in admissions events or ceremonies, such as graduation, that occurred on the Sabbath. Once, when I was falsely suspected of failing to submit my senior grades on time because of observing the festival of Pentecost, one of the College’s administrators remarked–not to me but concerning me and reliably reported to me on the following day–that: “We are under no obligation to respect that man’s religion.” I was furious. But I did not react with threats of hurling bricks through the College’s windows or torching its buildings or even employing legal action against it–a recourse available to me as an American that was not available to my Jewish predecessors. Indeed, under my department chair’s ministrations, and because of the respect, even affection, I bore towards the parties involved, I let go of my anger and maintained my silence.
…
I am also a Republican and a political conservative. I will not rehearse here the utter lack of intellectual and ideological diversity and the distressing intolerance of conservatives that tend to predominate in the American academic universe and to some degree at Converse. Here is a brief example from my experience: …
…
Converse College, like the American nation around it, is an imperfect entity, as must any entity engendered by the broken and corrupt human heart be. Converse (and America) may contain dark and ugly elements that frustrate the attainment of our highest ideals. But in life, we must never confront our lowest by abandoning our highest.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what the leadership of Converse College has done by imposing this coercive mandate and embracing an expedient to address the problem of racism that departs from the essential nature of a liberal arts institution. The administration has simultaneously invoked–and abandoned–the Founder’s ideals. How? By employing one of the ideals in abstraction from the other two. Dexter Edgar Converse hoped to create an institution that would encourage its members to “see clearly, decide wisely and act justly.” I have always loved those words because in my mind they encapsulated perfectly the meaning of a liberal education. But “liberal” derives from “liberty.” The enlightened mind cannot emerge, cannot escape from ignorance and prejudice, without freedom of thought. No freedom…no clarity or wisdom. Without clarity and wisdom, justice degenerates into self-righteousness, intolerance, and moral indignation. As the political philosopher Leo Strauss reminds us: “Indignation is a bad counselor. Our indignation proves at best that we are well-meaning. It does not prove that we are right.”

I suspect he is at or near retirement age, because the college is not going to suddenly decide that his accusations have any merit.
Converse faculty will soon be short their only Jew/conservative.

In other news, Blasio welds park shut so orthodox Jews have to cut it open
the old times have returned… and they dont recognize themselves

All the bullsh*t we have been witnessing over the last several years – suppression of speech and yes, of thought – is directly out of the playbook of marxist-leninist and national socialists thugs and their political leaders (i.e.., the demokrat party leaders).
Don’t be too surprised if we soon witness mass book burnings and some sort of Kristallnacht event conducted by your good pals at ANTIFA (Antifaschistische Aktion) or BLM.
Perhaps George Soros can once again relive his youth as he rummages thru abandoned jewish homes. Not that he needs anything of material import, but hey, whatever makes you feel better.
Jews are already in the cross hairs of the left – see the BDS movements as well as Israel’s good pal, Bernie Sanders, just to name one jewish hate-Israel-first jews.

But do not fret folks, you can count on the vast majority of black and/or jewish american voters to vote for Biden.

Given the socio-economic “progress” of blacks over the last 50 years (ie., one parent families, skyrocketing black youth gang killings, more blacks on food stamps or welfare, illiterate blacks graduating from high schools) and the demockrat party increasing hatred of jews, rest assured that blacks and jewish voters will once again, in the vast majority, vote for Biden.

But don’t hold that against them folks, because we, “the people” voted TWICE for Obama.

University of Alberta prof loses admin role over views on gender that made students feel ‘unsafe’

her views on feminism were making students feel unsafe and there were concerns this was driving students away from choosing anthropology as a major. She doesn’t know exactly the nature of the complaints — or who made them — because they were made informally and anonymously, she said.

But I was progressive!
