...(Alternating Sarcasm and Appreciation)

University Donors and a Necessary Curriculum Addition

Attempting to lure donors back and entice even their cheaper alumns to continue buying branded sweatshirts, many Ivy League Universities have announced plans to pursue a less hypocritical approach to microaggressions, death threats, and violence towards a minority of students.

A new academic major has been established and advanced graduate degrees will be offered to ensure proficiency and future demand for students committed to the study and principles of “UI – Useful Idiocy.”

The curriculum will focus on the use of social media and classroom teaching that will prepare students for the challenges that lie ahead. Students will read selected works and do important fieldwork on behalf of causes they do not understand but whose slogans rhyme, i.e., “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

According to university officials, there is no lack of unemployed graduates who are tired of alternating their protests for government and taxpayer forgiveness of their student loans with a condemnation of Israel for its objectives of recovering over 240 hostages and eradicating Hamas, whose barbaric acts broke an existing cease-fire and have now resulted in the collective deaths of thousands on both sides of the conflict.

Not surprisingly, those pampered and privileged students who have expressed concerns for their personal safety and the discriminatory and inflammatory messages of their teachers have also faced expulsion from the progressive student groups they themselves had previously supported.

A former Manhattan Public Defender who resigned just days ago following publicity related to removing signs posted about lost pets is rumored to be a prime candidate for creating the curriculum at one well-known institution in the Boston area known for its academid rigor and student union restaurant's "chow-duh."

However, as people view these lost pet posters as essential and a sign of the goodness of humanity, there may be some opposition.

CORRECTION: the posters that were removed were not about pets. Instead, they are for the kidnap victims, hostages, innocent children, parents, elderly, Holocaust survivors, foreign workers, Jews, Arabs, and Muslims. As a result, expect little opposition as she pursues her new career as an influencer of the next generation of UI - Useful Idiocy majors.

Can We Trust an Immigrant Who Legally Changed His Name to “Freedom”?

Who amongst us is not pro-immigration? It’s been said over and over that we’re a nation of immigrants, many of whom we can’t find.

Some of us have wondered, “Why would millions of foreigners leave their opportunity-laden homelands for an American system that so many citizens view as racist and xenophobic to the core?”

Even worse, once having pursued a path to citizenship, why speak strongly in defense of other groups who do not rank highly on our ladder of victimhood?

And that takes us to former NBA star and Turkish-born Muslim basketball player, Enes Kanter Freedom. (Note: I have been a fan of his work on behalf of others, despite never having seen his basketball skills.)

He’s an interesting guy who claims to have learned English “watching SpongeBob SquarePants” and the climate-change documentary “Jersey Shore.”

Mr. Freedom is clear in his support of minority groups and opposition to the forced labor of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and Kyrgyz by the Chinese government.

As a Muslim, he believes in his responsibility to help others, and has written about fasting during Ramadan throughout the day and still participating in NBA playoff games.

In this link, he writes about the “danger of radical Islam” and “that organizations like Hamas, Isis, and Hezbollah, embed the religion of Islam with the concept of terror."

Ongoing Middle East Event Where Many Have Been Killed

“The Syrian Civil War’s Never-Ending Endgame” by World Politics Review

https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/the-syria-civil-war-might-be-ending-but-the-crisis-will-live-on/

“The war’s humanitarian cost has been staggering. The estimated death toll is 400,000 people, but it could actually be much higher. And at various points in the conflict, more than half of the country’s population was displaced. The United Nations Refugee Agency estimates that 5.6 million people have fled Syria since the fighting started, putting a significant strain on neighboring countries as well as Europe.”?

Note: At the present time, no rallies or protests against the killing of Muslim civilians by other armed Muslims are planned, as our volunteers are busy ripping down posters about Israeli hostages.
