The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has long been criticized for far-left policies and activism. Some of us have criticized the organization for ignoring academic priorities and the record-low polling on public trust in higher education. Its president, Todd Wolfson, is now taking that activism global with a boycott policy that leaves little room for faculty members who support Israel.
I previously criticized the selection of Wolfson as the head of the AAUP. Wolfson, a Rutgers University anthropologist and former union leader, is a highly political activist who doubled down on the ideological intolerance that now defines higher education. His election was a defiant statement by faculty members that they will not yield in preserving the current ideological echochamber in our universities and colleges. He promised to keep AAUP as a “fighting organization” for liberal causes.
Wolfson has made clear that there is little tolerance for opposing views on this far-left agenda. Many have analogized Wolfson to teacher union figures like American Federation of Teachers (AFT) chief Randi Weingarten in making the organization an extension of the Democratic Party. Wolfson used his position to oppose Trump’s reelection and has remained an outspoken voice in support of Democratic causes.
One of the issues that has been most divisive on our campuses is the support of Palestine and Israel. Rather than support the free speech rights of both sides, Wolfson and AAUP have abandoned neutrality to call for a weapons boycott of the Jewish state.
A recent interview with Inside Higher Ed contains Wolfson’s signature radical rhetoric in declaring that “Vance and Trump and [Christopher] Rufo and Stephen Miller and the ilk that run our government are fascist in a 21st-century variant.”
Wolfson also echoes the identity politics that have long characterized policies in higher education:
“Faculty and the press and people of color and women and gay people and trans people and anybody that’s not white, Christian nationalist, in the end, is othered. And then even within the white Christian nationalist community, if you’re not MAGA, or you care about a free press, or care about free inquiry, you’re othered.”
One notable element was how Wolfson explained the new foreign policy of the AAUP. He makes clear that the AAUP now believes that Israel must be cut off entirely from any weapons by the United States:
“We believe strongly that no weapons should be sent to Israel at all. Not defensive or offensive, nothing.
What do we do in the U.S., where antisemitism has been used as a weapon, in many ways, by the Trump administration to bring universities to heel—and many times stripping out, or threatening to strip out, hundreds of millions of research dollars that often affect Jewish faculty members? Versus what our position should be on the conflict in the Middle East?”
Notably, he stresses that Israel is guilty of genocide while pushing the new jingoistic term “scholasticide”:
“First and foremost, our job is to safeguard ourselves at home and to set a vision that aligns with what we’re trying to do in the United States. We need to stand up for academic freedom, for freedom of speech, for freedom of assembly for our students so they can protest the war—the genocide, excuse me—that’s taking place in Gaza.
We need to stand up to the weaponization of antisemitism in the Title VI process. And we need to make sure that we defend our members…
The number of universities and faculty and university presidents [in Gaza] that have been killed and universities that have been destroyed in this war is mammoth. We are certainly educating our members on this concept of scholasticide.
It seems pretty evident that they are—but if, in fact, Israel is purposefully destroying the educational infrastructure, both K–12 and higher ed, of Palestine, and of Gaza, that stands against our values of academic freedom. And if that’s the case, and we can unify around that, then we will take a stand and call for an end to the scholasticide.”
So now the AAUP is advocating a weapons boycott, including defensive weapons for a nation that its neighbors have repeatedly attacked? Many countries and groups have dedicated themselves to Israel’s destruction. We have protests in the United States calling for liberation “from the river to the sea,” a mantra viewed as a call for the eradication of Israel. Rather than call for peace and support for academics on both sides, the AAUP is seeking to disarm one side.
The new sloganeering about “scholasticide” would be more convincing if Wolfson were not the very face of ideological orthodoxy and intolerance in higher education. This generation of faculty and administrators has destroyed the intellectual diversity of our campuses. Just last week, the leading AAUP publication ran a long column against intellectual diversity.
What Wolfson and faculty members are doing today is the very definition of scholasticide by effectively purging conservative or libertarian faculty from departments and maintaining the current academic echo chamber. Applications and trust in higher education are plummeting. Yet, the response from the AAUP has been to double down on its political agenda and even adopt a foreign policy targeting Israel.
Given years of hiring faculty from the left to the far left, Wolfson can expect ongoing support from the ranks of the AAUP. However, the public, donors, and many legislators have had enough with the ideological agenda in academia. They are supporting programs that return to core educational priorities and promote a diversity of thought.
Unfortunately, the result will be the increasing balkanization of higher education. However, with Wolfson and the AAUP leading higher education off an ideological cliff, many will choose to get out of the car in this game of chicken. Regrettably, others will decide not to go into academia. We cannot allow this orthodoxy to lead us to give up on the academy. We have to stay and fight for the restoration of intellectual diversity and tolerance in higher education.
With respect to university faculty understanding of the real world, I am reminded of William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies,” where the faculty are like the plane-load of boys cast upon a deserted island, and the natural organization of them is toward the emergence of an intolerant power hierarchy favoring some and not others. They become an echo chamber in and of themselves. There is no reality beyond which they create.
In Other News: “Politicians Create Large Autopen Machine to Create ‘Homemade’ Signs for Rent-a-Mob Protesters.”
~+~
After having realized that rent-a-mob protesters holding identical, professionally crafted signs bearing political slogans is no longer credible as being grass-roots demonstrations, politicians and wealthy pundits hired an auto-pen manufacturer to create a large scale version that “handwrites” signs and banners en-masse to make the protest appear less astroturfing.
Lead product engineer Bill Schreiber stated, “We scaled up the autopen to work on cardboard signs, changed the design to instead make each handwriting unique, and installed a random political BS generator to provide content. All that a wealthy political influencer needs to do is seed the software with a political cause, or name a hated adversary, and the software goes to work generating hundreds of unique signs an hour. You hire the protesters, we provide the signage.”
One reason why the woke, progressive anti-Americans lie and twist / pervert America’s language: Inventing new terminology and spreading misinformation to confuse people reflects a deep cultural and political divide.
Wolfson and the AAUP are striking their natural course. Conciliation, moderation, and appeasement of non-aligned academics is only a tool to be used when first taking over higher education. They’ve held that high ground for 40 years and to retreat now rather than intensify the division would signal weakness, lack of authority and resolve to their holy cause. Why wouldn’t he proclaim that ill-educated MAGA American Anti-Semites’ support of Israel is scholasticide against victimized Jewish university professors who enjoy a unique minority status? Turley’s wishful detente, or even a reapproachment with entrenched, haughty, Anti-Nationalist, Anti-Christian, and Anti-White American Leftist intellectuals so that competing views may be debated, discussed, and given similar levels of credence is a pipe dream. The ideological authoritarians will hold fast and define away their opponents as enemies, threats, and Fascists who seek to silence them and diminish their lofty self-credentialed authority. Turley’s expressed sentiments toward free speech in the university setting is actually what opened the doors and later ripped them off the hinges to the Leftists who parasitized then entirely took over this forum. Why on earth would they relinquish this key victory for a return to the nostalgic days that Turley recalls rubbing elbows with and socializing with so many of diverse views and thinking? They won. They don’t mind a bit espousing that Americans must either choose to align fully and completely with Herr Trump, or join their Resistance, ultimately overseen by nefarious Stalinists, (but at least they’re not Monarcho-Fascists).
“They don’t mind a bit espousing that Americans must either choose to align fully and completely with Herr Trump, or join their Resistance, ultimately overseen by nefarious Stalinists, (but at least they’re not Monarcho-Fascists).”
That is probably the most inarticulate and incomprehensible, drug fuelled Democrat gaslighting we have seen since your last attempt!
You could have just shortened it up and simply posted “As Kamala Harris assured us, Trump is Hitler!”
Gaslighting
Gaslighting is the intended psychological manipulation by the perpetrator of those they’re attempting to victimize through intentionally misleading that person or persons. This involves the perpetrator lying, denying events, and other methods used with the intent to have their victims doubt their perceptions of reality, memories, and feel overly emotional or irrational. Within personal relationships, it is a form of psychological abuse and torture. The main five methods of gaslighting that may be used alone or in conjunction with others are: lying, blame shifting, countering, trivializing and withholding.
Wolfson, like most leftists, doesn’t even try to make sense. It’s like Stalin’s regime of terror. Many people who wound up executed or in the gulag hadn’t actually done anything wrong. Right, wrong, or the law never figured into it. The point was to constantly remind the people that Stalin didn’t have to make sense. He had all the power.
Wolfson is a constant reminder to me that people like Stalin will always exist. That’s nothing new. What is new is that nearly every major Western country is now heavily populated with exactly such Stalinists. Liberals used to be against communism and jihadism–until they were for it.
For whatever reason, liberalism appears to be a gateway drug to tyranny. I suppose it’s something about the psychology of the left. The reason why may escape me, but the violent insanity of these people is becoming impossible to ignore.
The Stalin types exist but what creates them? Is it merely a personality type?
Some suggest that narcissism is overrepresented on the left.
Once again Turley plays fast and loose with the facts.
He would have you believe that the AAUP is a monolithic entity representing ALL college professors.
The reality is that AAUP has around 45,000 members. There are about 1.5 million people employed as faculty at US colleges. This number includes all people involved in teaching, which may include part-time, adjunct faculty as well as teaching assistants, all of whom are eligible to join AAUP. Anyone with a professional appointment at a university can join AAUP including postdoctoral researchers who do not teach. and even graduate students.
So using these numbers, AAUP represents about 3% of university faculty members.
Here is another way to look at the numbers.
There are around 4,000 colleges in the US. AAUP has 45,000 members.
Therefore, on average, one would expect to find about 11 AAUP members at any given college, an almost negligible number.
The AAUP is a fringe group with minimal representation at colleges.
Turley is just using this absurd story to rile up the MAGA mob and keep them agitated.
90% of professors agree with the AAUP. They’ll tell you that. You don’t have to be a member of Hamas to be a terrorist.
Provide some proof, or shut up.
Just saying that 90% of professors agree does not make it true.
“Shut up” is a perfect response…from a fascist.
Nancy Pelosi recently said ‘shut up’ when asked a question by a journalist.
Check it out:
https://ctse.aei.org/partisan-professors/
The money quote from the above: “A similar survey was published in 2020 by the National Association of Scholars of more than 12,000 tenure-track faculty in the top-ranked universities in each state… The results show that among those registered to vote by party ID, professors are almost all Democrats… Consider that chemistry, a discipline far from partisan politics, has a ratio of 113 donors to Democrats for every one donor to Republicans.”
You can claim that being Democrat doesn’t mean they’re communist sympathizers, but even most Democrats won’t believe you.
Diogenes,
Well done!! Excellent take down of the annony moron!!
Diogenes
Very strange response.
As you say, “chemistry, a discipline far from partisan politics, has a ratio of 113 donors to Democrats for every one donor to Republicans.”
All that proves is that if you are a Republican, you are probably too stupid to be a chemistry professor.
Liberals use their institutional leverage to shun conservatives for political reasons and then claim that it was because they weren’t smart enough, adding insult to injury.
Never let a preponderance of liberals get control of anything.
So how exactly would questions of partisan politics come up at an interview to fill a chemistry professor position.
If a Republican was asked about his politics, and was subsequently denied the position, do you think he would remain silent if he thought politics was at play.
No, he would run to Fox and complain bitterly.
Where are all these Republicans who have been purged or denied positions at colleges??
Are they a vast silent majority that we never hear from???
Of course not.
They exist only in your fevered MAGA cult mind.
The smart ones went into business. The lazy ones went into academia.
So let me see if I understand your point.
The lazy ones, who are apparently not smart enough, go into academia where they teach students everything they know.
Having learned everything from their lazy professors, these smart graduates then go into business.
I don’t think your comment means what you think it means.
But I guess that makes some sort of sense in the addled MAGA mind.
Uh, no. Not what I meant. Actually, Sam said it better than I did. See below.
Those who can do, those who can’t teach… Government milk and cheese is a highly intoxicating carrot…
Somewhere in the not too distant past, the compensation for professors increased to parallel that of their private sector counterparts. The fallacy is that they have a very low exposure to personal liability and risk, the very consideration that high salaries are subject to. You ask why tuition is so high? Just think of the funding for pensions, healthcare and six figure salaries.
So why is it that all the Nobel prizes in the sciences, always go to university faculty members.
In fact all the other prizes in the sciences such as the Fields medal in Mathematics, ALWAYS go to professors.
They manage to “DO” quite well
Don’t know if you figured it out yet but sure seems like a rigged game, I would like to nominate my esteemed colleague for……
Well I guess that makes them some real Doo-Dooers then doesn’t it. Government milk is highly addictive.
“So how exactly would questions of partisan politics come up at an interview to fill a chemistry professor position.”
That’s easy. And I’ve seen it done:
Do you think the department should use DEI in hiring faculty and staff?
Do you think the department should use affirmative action for student grants and scholarships?
(And that’s just two examples.)
Oh, lookie here! Faculty punishing conservative students yet again:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/rutgers-conservatives-who-challenged-dr-antifa-say-they-re-being-punished-as-university-backs-professor/ar-AA1OJFuG?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=68f47b1c493a46ffa1d650e0abcedbb0&ei=20
So am I arguing that conservatives are smart and liberals are lazy? No. Just joking.
I have heard of conservative faculty complaining about being cancelled by liberals. As Sam points out above, leftwing administrators have all kinds of filters and litmus tests, and if you work with someone long enough in grad school, you know a lot about them. They groom liberals and flunk conservatives.
Liberals are tyrants once they get the power they want.
“. . . flunk conservatives.”
With respect, flunking is too obvious. They’re much more devious than that.
For ugrad and grad students, they downgrade, shun, and don’t promote. A paper that should be an A gets a C+. A pro-capitalist, pro-America student is *not* invited to sit on committees or to participate in colloquia.
And the professional death knell for Ph.D. students: Their letters of recommendation for jobs are vanilla. (Academia can read between the lines.) And the university does absolutely nothing to promote their job candidacy.
Actually, it’s apparent in your speech pattern too lefty.
We can spot a lefty a mile away.
“They exist only in your fevered MAGA cult mind.”
If you want to ask what goes through a Republicans mind, the last thing you want to do is actually ask them to tell you.
No, you’ll get a far better answer from one of Biden’s Democrat Useless Idiot Trannies, the favored of the Alphabet Sex Pride Tribe Warriors, that keep popping up after chewing through their leashes down in the Democrat Borg.
“All that proves is that if you are a Republican, you are probably too stupid to be a chemistry professor.”
Oh! Look at what you saw looking back at you when you brushed your teeth in front of the bathroom mirror last month!
Channeling; also referred to as projection:
Channeling one’s actions onto others typically refers to the psychological concept of projection, where an emotionally disturbed individual unconsciously or deliberately attributes their own mental shortcomings, thoughts, feelings, and anti-social or criminal behaviors to someone else. This is an internal defense mechanism which allows a person to avoid confronting their own behavior and guilt by seeing them as the thoughts and actions of someone else instead.
“Provide some proof, or shut up. Just saying that 90% of professors agree does not make it true.”
Hey, you copied what Minority Leader Hakim “Commie” Jefferies told a reporter who asked him why he supported Comey repeatedly perjuring himself to FISA courts! Provide some proof?

You forgot to mention that the American Association of University Professors is a 501(c)(5). They pay no taxes!
So what !!!
How does that have any relevance to the FACT that AAUP is a very small fringe organization.
Does anyone know whether any U.S. based non-profit organizations use any part of their incomes to support the construction of Israeli colonies on the West Bank? If there are any, then all Americans are supporting policies contrary to the official foreign policy position of the U.S. government with respect to these colonies. If Israel really a “Jewish State” as P.M. Netanyehu has proclaimed to the U.S. Senate, then any use of government funds for their support is contrary to the 1st amendment to the Constitution on religious grounds, and if Israel is “race-based” such support is contrary to our anti-racism laws.
“Does anyone know whether any U.S. based non-profit organizations use any part of their incomes to support the construction of Israeli colonies on the West Bank?”
Can any of the Democrats’ New Hitler Youth Movement tell us the names of at least a couple of the historical Caliphs/emperors/kings of the Palestinian Empire that first colonized Sumaria and Judea? Samaria and Judea are of the original Hebrew states of that region and would be the accurate names of those Hebrew states before the UN decided they preferred to call it “the West Bank”?
Where do the New Hitler Youth Movement think the name “Jews” came from? The Arab Egyptian terrorist Yasser Arafat who pushed the name “Palestinians” as well as “West Bank” to eliminate the proper and historical name for that geographical area.
“Samaria and Judea are of the original Hebrew states of that region and would be the accurate names of those Hebrew states before the UN decided they preferred to call it “the West Bank”?
I notice that the writer is careful to qualify his response by using the adjective “Hebrew”, purposefully ignoring the fact that the area was already occupied by various tribes and peoples, a situation changed by the use of military force with the help, allegedly, of divine intervention. Hundreds of years later, and after years of internecine warfare amongst the descendants of the original Hebrews, the Romans effectively ended the political power of their descendants in the middle East. Now, 2000 years after this dispersal the American taxpayer is expected, by some, to reestablish this semi-mythical state, again through the use of violence, and just as in the past, ignoring the non-Hebrew peoples who have a right, by tenure, to this land.
West Bank? How about using the proper names, Samaria and Judea? There has never been a “West Bank” nation or sovereign state.
Samaria is the Hellenized form of the Hebrew name Shomron, is used as a historical and biblical name for the central region of the Land of Israel. It is bordered by Judea to the south and Galilee to the north. The first-century Roman historian Josephus set the Mediterranean Sea as its limit to the west, and the Jordan River as its limit to the east.
[NB: Those 1st century historical observations would be six centuries before an Arab warlord invented the colonizing religion of Salafist Islam, and explains the Arab terrorist Yasser Arafat screams of “From the Jordan River to the Sea shall be Muslim!”]
Judea is a mountainous region of the Levant. Traditionally dominated by the city of Jerusalem and part of modern day Israel. The name’s usage is historic, having been used in antiquity and still into the present day. It originates from Yehudah, the Hebrew name of the tribe, called Juda(h) in English. Yehudah was a son of Jacob, later known as ‘Israel,’ whose sons collectively headed the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Yehudah’s progeny among the Israelites formed the Tribe of Judah, with whom the Hebrew Kingdom of Judah is associated.
So Samaria and Judeau have been inhabited by Hebrews and Jews for at least 5,000 years, were fighting three wars against Roman occupiers in the first century AD, without an Arab ever mentioned in the historical writings about those wars.
Now: how long does the Arab (“Palestinian”) colonization of Samaria and Judea extend back?
At least to before the UN was formed and accepted the names provided by the Arab Egyptian terrorist Yasser Arafat i.e. ‘Palestinians’ and ‘West Bank’?
Was there a “West Bank” in Roman times? Or the Turkish – not Arab – Hajji Caliphat occupation of the Middle East and Balkan states? That ended when they were on the losing side of WWI and got their occupying Hajji asses booted out of the Balkan states and Middle East?
The Democrats’ New Hitler Youth Movement know absolutely nothing of history, other than Hitler promised them a world from which every Jew had been exterminated.

The reality is that it only take One Bad Apple (45,000 members) to spoil the whole Bushell Basket (1.5 million).
That’s what Jonathan is concerned about.
I would refer you to the comment by Estovir at 12:06pm
He agrees with me that the AAUP is irrelevant.
He cites numbers from University of Virginia.
There are 3,200 full-time faculty at UVA and there are only 170 AAUP members
“I would refer you to the comment by Estovir at 12:06pm. He agrees with me that the AAUP is irrelevant.”
Estovir hasn’t showed up to support your claim by saying you are correctly interpreting what he said. We’ve noticed that while you’ve done the opposite and pretended not to notice that.
He is happy to engage with people who both agree and disagree with what he posts, in detail. But you? He ignores your claim he’s your ally as though you were an unnoticed piece of dirt on the bottom of his shoes. And we’ve seen your sophomoric gaslighting before.

Anonymous once again playing loose with the facts. AAUP does not represent all university employees but rather only university Professors. Her attempt at the no big deal argument falls flat again. The Jew hater in question is the leader of the Union and holds a great deal of sway in the Union activities. Anonymous through deceptive manipulation of the numbers would have you believe otherwise. Deception is the handmaiden of the totalitarian mind.
Once again Anonymous, I ask you. Are you supporting your friends who support putting Jewish babies in ovens as part of the river to the sea movement? Do you support none of the Jewish women hostages being returned to Israel alive? I’m sure that you see yourself as a person with a heart of gold. Your act of not presenting a cognitive rebuttal proves you a coward. Imbecile will not suffice as an answer. Declaring such answers only reinforces your inability to properly present a well thought out counter position. If you will respond I will do my best to consider your rebuttal. Short of that, I must ask again, do you support putting Jewish babies in ovens or not? A simple yes or no will suffice but as usual no such answer is expected from a so called person with a heart of gold found only in her minds eye. The challenge has been issued. Will you respond or not? It’s simple. Just choose one for yes or two for no. We are awaiting your learned response.
If it talks like a fascist, walks like a fascist, acts like a fascist, maybe it is a fascist.
Fascism – A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
“Everyone I don’t like is a Fascist!”
Fascist is a word without meaning. It’s the new F word.
“Fascism – A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power,”
But your fellow communist Antifa terrorists said that individuals like Charlie Kirk was a fascist, Ben Shapiro is a fascist, etc. while they used fascist tactics to try and silence their free speech.
You soy boy felons in your black man jammies have nothing other than violent fascism and redefining language to pursue your goals. You aren’t even capable of hopefully persuasive gaslighting.
Back to the Democrat Borg with you, vile spot. Make sure you do your fascist political performance theory in places that will tolerate it and not in places that will crush you like the bugs you are.
Here is what insiders in FoxNews have to say about their wonderful company…
According to the Guardian, one employee said Fox should “change the misogynist, racist, rightwing content”, adding: “Fox News is a propaganda machine for the Republican party NOT a news organization and should be acknowledged as such. It is embarrassing to tell people that I work here as even conservatives know [Fox News Channel] and [Fox Business Network] are biased information sources — not news.”
Other employees complained the news content at the company is “hateful and has made the world a more divided and angry place.”
“I sometimes go home fighting back tears,” another employee said. “This network made me question my morals. Have I sold my soul to the devil?”
https://www.alternet.org/trump-smartmatic-fox-news/
Thanks JT for being part of the rightwing sexist racist misogynistic network. I hope you sleep well at night with your filthy lucre.
Imbecile.
Thanks Anonymous. “According to the Guardian” always brings to the forefront your heartfelt American patriotism. Next you’ll be telling us that everything in the Hollywood tabloids is true.
Both of these sources of information prey upon those who are resentful of anyone who has earned more in life than they have and hope for their down fall. Obviously you have been captured and held in place for fear of the shadows on the wall of the cave you live in. So sad. In your case, for the woman who lives in fear everything rustles.
hahahah altnet. O-baby, there is a group we should trust.
The left is desperate
“Here is what insiders in FoxNews have to say about their wonderful company…”
Sounds what like NYT staffers said when Bari Weiss was brought on board! Or the staff at CNN when the new manager told them to dial back their shrieking Marxism.
And, oh look! No name! From that favorite site alternet.org, where the Tranny Furries go for their hookups Your Furry Tranny lover told you to bring that line here this morning and post it if you want special favors tonight.
With Rutgers University now trying to ban their Turning Point chapter for “Dr. Antifa’s” Mark Bray, the author of The Antifa Handbook, over abrupt resignation and fleeing Europe after his exposure, this news has now become a direct attack on expressing personal views on college campuses. Hopefully, students will now wake up to this brainwashing mentality and come out and speak up to bring balance back to a badly broken educational system. A lot of hard work lies ahead!
Guys like this don’t have the guts to just say that from the river to the sea really means kill every Jew in the Middle East starting by first raping the women and then putting their babies in the oven to cook.
This guy declares Trump a nazi while supporting Palestinians who put baby Jews in ovens and rejoice. Don’t forget that one of his leftist fellow educators asked “With or without baking powder?”
History shows that people with twisted minds with twisted views unfortunately rise to positions of power.
Such people are always accompanied by parasitical lickspittle followers waiting for a crumb to fall to the floor. It’s early but soon there will be commenters on the forum who will praise such a man as this.
Never forget that Trump with raised fist proclaimed fight, fight, fight.
Of course they would, what else would you expect from a horde of like-minded sociopaths and misanthropes. Who cares, it’s just what they do because they aren’t good at anything useful.
“what else would you expect from a horde of like-minded sociopaths and misanthropes.”? I expect to watch them self immolate on Turley’s blog. Just watch the fire works today.
As for useful, you think your presence here is “useful”.
“As for useful, you think your presence here is “useful”.”
The last moron who thought your posts were worthwhile was looking back at you in the mirror when you brushed your teeth last month.
Great art Thou, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Thy power, and of Thy wisdom there is no end. And man, being a part of Thy creation, desires to praise Thee, man, who bears about with him his mortality, the witness of his sin, even the witness that Thou “resistest the proud, ” – yet man, this part of Thy creation, desires to praise Thee. Thou movest us to delight in praising Thee; for Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee. Lord, teach me to know and understand which of these should be first, to call on Thee, or to praise Thee; and likewise to know Thee, or to call upon Thee.
Oh! how shall I find rest in Thee? Who will send Thee into my heart to inebriate it, s that I may forget my woes, and embrace Thee my only good? What art Thou to me? Have compassion on me, that I may speak. What am I to Thee that Thou demandest my love, and unless I give it Thee art angry, and threatenest me with great sorrows? Is it, then, a light sorrow not to love Thee? Alas! alas! tell me of Thy compassion, O Lord my God, what Thou art to me. “Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.” So speak that I may hear. Behold, Lord, the ears of my heart are before Thee; open Thou them, and “say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.” When I hear, may I run and lay hold on Thee. Hide not Thy face from me. Let me die, lest I die, if only I may see Thy face.”
St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions, 1,1.5
WhimiscalMama,
Well said!
Scholasticide-seems a new term for the new world. The AAUP must have had a predecessor organization that wore bedsheets for formal evening wear. I would swear that I heard these same sorts of ravings back in the 1950’s and 1960’s when the Klan was in town. The Klan was really heavy into racism and being anti black but a salient part of their hate manifesto was anti-semitism and anti-catholicism. In fact one of their last lynchings in Georgia was an American Jew and not a black man.
I wonder if these morons realize how close they are to the Klan and its ravings. All they need are some more horses for their posse of hate and some rifles.
“First and foremost, our job is to safeguard ourselves at home and to set a vision that aligns with what we’re trying to do in the United States. We need to stand up for academic freedom, for freedom of speech, for freedom of assembly for our students “.
Strange that they can preach all that and then practice the opposite.
Yeah, I think if I was riding in that car as it went over the cliff, I would bailout too. Bad things happen when they land abruptly.
“I wonder if these “Turley’s” morons realize how close they are to the Klan and its ravings. There, fixed it.
Anonymous, the man stands with people who put Jewish babies in ovens to cook and so do you.
As one of your hated MAGA I stand against people who cook Jewish babies while you endorse people who do. I stand against people like you who support the genocide of Jewish babies. I stand proudly with my MAGA identification card in hand to tell you “never again.”
TiT,
Well said! I am a POC and I stand with Israel, the Jewish community. If I saw the pro-Hamas loving, Jew hating, soy boy antifa annony moron attempting violence against the Jewish community I would defend them.
Farmer up txhere, what is a POC?
” POC and I stand with Israel,”
There are Jews of every color, race, and origin: from Africa to Asia to Europe, because Judaism is a faith and a people, not a race. Thank you for your candid support for equality of all people.
“I wonder if these “Turley’s” morons realize how close they are to the Klan and its ravings. There, fixed it.”
One of those university professors’ students in their New Hitler Youth Movement study groups is looking for extra credit!
Channeling; also referred to as projection:
Channeling one’s actions onto others typically refers to the psychological concept of projection, where an emotionally disturbed individual unconsciously or deliberately attributes their own thoughts, feelings, and anti-social or criminal behaviors to someone else. This is an internal defense mechanism which allows a person to avoid confronting their own behavior and guilt by seeing them as the thoughts and actions of someone else instead.
@GEB
That is *precisely* who modern leftists are, with healthy dashes of communism/socialism/fascism mixed in.
They do not realize it because they have either not been taught the history, or it has been badly misrepresented to them. If the AAUP leader is under 45, he is likely one of them.
These are some of the most ignorant and hateful people in Western society for decades. It is generational and it is concerning. We had a perfect storm of privilege, recalcitrance, neglect, and greed that got us here, and we just let it happen.
Mao would have been *thrilled*, and we are getting to the point where adherents would be *thrilled* the likes of Mao or Stalin were thrilled. It’s madness.
“Attacks Trump Supporters as “Fascists.” He’s not wrong. Just follow the comments. Oh, and he forgot to add: hatemongers.
Biden ignored the Supreme Court. student loans and eviction moratorium, Biden ignored the law, the open border, Biden ignored the Constitution but forcing social media companies to censor conservatives, Democrats tried to imprison the leading Republican candidate for the WH in NY, GA and DC, tried to throw him off the ballot in CO and ME, tried to bankrupt him in NY and called him Hitler so often two losers tried to kill him. But conservatives are the fascists???
In Brazil, France and Israel liberals tried to jail conservatives. In France, Germany and Venezuela they threw out conservative opposition. Name one place where the conservative leader banned a liberal party. Not in Brazil, not in France, not in Germany and not in the USA.
The Democrats use ANTIFA and BLM as their blackshirts as the Nazis used the SS as their brownshirts. Show me the neighborhood takeover by conservative “protesters”. Conservatives had one protest, albeit one almost as violent as the 100 “protests” the liberals had that year, and Pelosi and the Democrats called out the NG, after it was too late, and fenced in DC like it was Fort Knox for 6 months just to make a point. Then the DOJ of Biden went after anyone that was in DC during that period with a vengeance that was as totalitarian as anything we have ever seen.
Dems are the fascists, you know it, we know it and everyone knows it.
HullBobby,
Great comment!! Biden and Democrats behaved more like “Kings” than anything conservatives have done. Looking at where the money comes from, it is rather ironic leftists are the ones who have been duped by the very people they are protesting against.
“Attacks Trump Supporters as “Fascists.” He’s not wrong. Just follow the comments. Oh, and he forgot to add: hatemongers.”
Another one of the Democrats’ college student members of their New Hitler Youth has no Gay Marxist Theology classes to be in this morning.

So basically Wolfson wants the complete destruction of Israel, i.e. the genocide of Jews given he does not want them to be able to defend themselves
Tenured Ticks on the dog…
Maybe if we quit feeding them they will dry up and drop off.
Remember Bray, Ayers and Dorn are all professors, would you take their advice on anything?!
Bray, Ayers etc… professors, so what? You really believe those clowns are a threat to they USA still?
Bray Ayers and Dorn were all admired by the leader of the Democratic Party known as Barrack Obama. The threat is still a real thing just like ANTIFA. It’s interesting that you tell us by your comment that there once was a threat but that it no longer exists after previously telling us that no such threat ever existed. Which is it? You continue to blather just for the sake of blathering and then sooner or later you trip over yourself. Fools will be fools.
I believe the damage they have done to Americas youth at their respective universities is immeasurable. Cancer tends to grow exponentially, they have quite an audience to influence with their Bolshevik Bullchit “Democratic Socialist “ mantra.
Well, they HAVE got you Antifa terrorists all riles up and having their own violent crime wave across the USA. Except places like Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, etc where the citizens would shoot your violent asses dead when you attacked them or their property.
No, you can’t bring down the USA. But you’ll cause a lot of damage before you’re ether thrown in jail or shot dead while throwing Molotov Cocktails or shooting at law enforcement.
It’s a crying shame when university faculty choose to be represented by a man who is carrying on the H-man’s pogrom against the Jewish people.
Tell us, Prof. Wolfson, what should have been Israel’s response to October 7, 2023? How do he and his ilk that support Palestinians justify Palestinians that round up Gazans, having them kneel blindfolded in public in front of their families, and then executing them with a gunshot to the back of their head, all without trial and after agreeing to a “peace” treaty? These are the people for which Wolfson is advocating? History has repeatedly demonstrated that only fools are deluded into thinking that they will also not eventually suffer a similar fate.
Wolfson is in an alliance with the left factions and has agreed to support those factions with whom he agrees and factions with whom he may disagree. The lefts factions “armies” are allies. The banner is hate whites and all they’ve done in thought, word and deed. The ultimate goal is genocide.
Let’s see if this posts.
If unions are tax exempt organizations (I assume they are) whose purpose is to provide representation for workers on job related issues why shouldn’t they lose their tax exemption when they step out of that realm?
The US fought a massive war against fascism. It is great shame that half of the US population won’t (correctly) say fascism is evil and destructive.
What war was that please? The USA has waged war since its inception. Killed a lot of innocent people.
I will say this: Trump is an evil and destructive fascist.
I heard someone say “Don’t even try to have a rational discussion with a Leftist. They have a mental disorder that won’t allow it.” I think they are correct.
“I will say this: Trump is an evil and destructive fascist.”
Antifa, the only people who can only have a conversation by responding to their original comment! The university New Hitler Youth Movement meetings aren’t held until the afternoon, so they have to get their interaction somewhere else.

Yet, it is leftist Democrats and antifa who are the evil and destructive fascist. They are the ones instigating riots, arson, violence, attempted murder and even murder.
To be accurate, the US joined a preexisting war against two communist theologies: Hitlers national socialism that was similar to the Democrat Kluxxers and the the fascist branch of Italy, a junior partner whose fascism replicated that of today’s Democrat Antifa terrorists. And Japan, a virulently racist nationalist fascist country whose success in purging all who didn’t fit into their monoculture the Kluxxers admired.
You are correct however to point out that the half of the country who are your fellow Democrats should hang their heads in shame because they refuse to admit that their Antifa street terrorists and university’s genocidal Hamas supporting New Hitler Youth Movement are not evil.
Anything else to add? Or would you like to take a moment to add another line in hopes of saving yourself, stating that the fascism of the Antifa terrorists and New Hitler Youth Hamas supporters is in fact evil and destruction?
We don’t have to agree with your demands that because you’re a tranny, that makes you a woman who can go into little girls’ change rooms.
And we don’t have to agree with your demands that anybody who isn’t a fellow communist or Marxist in the White House must be a fascist.
Yes, fascism is evil and destructive. That is why so many of us are against antifa, and those rich oligarchs who fund them through NGOs.
Prof Turley,
I hope our universities are not obliged to pay union dues for AAUP members.
“I hope our universities are not obliged to pay . . .”
AAUP is a union (now a propaganda wing of the Left). Unlike some unions, faculty are not compelled to join, nor are they compelled to pay union fees if they don’t join.
But if you don’t join, academia has its means of “persuasion.”
Sam, utter nonsense. Nobody cares about membership.
Keith, certainly not. Membership dues are the responsibility of the member.
