Re: Doubling Down on Diversity [George Leef]

You might think that the highly educated folks who run our universities would, when confronted with something like the noose episode, first ask whether it is a real threat or just another trick, and then, assuming it isn't dismissed as a trick, whether it represents any real problem on campus.

Of course, nothing like that happens. The incident is immediately taken to be a serious threat and the campus mobilized to fend it off with candle-light vigils, speeches, and yet more emphasis on "diversity."

The situation at Columbia is playing out just the same as the lacrosse case at Duke.

The W&M system would be easy enough to kill - just flood it with complaints. Preferably about select LWE faculty, admins and students. The extreme left generally spews enough hate that it'd be easy to craft plausible sins to accuse them of.
