Higher education has become a terrorist training camp

Numbers from the following Brandeis report, American Undergraduates and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, show 18% support for Hamas among college students and 15% favorability for Israel.

They’re roughly in line from numbers we’ve seen before.

And before the initial response is about Israel, Hasbara or any of that, let’s remember that other polls have shown that…

67% of college students have a positive view of socialism compared to 40% for capitalism and 43% of students rate Communism positively

1 in 3 college students believe in violence to stop speech that they don’t like

… this isn’t just about Israel. Or America.

Colleges have normalized degrees of extremism on campus that reflect something like the Weathermen and Al Qaeda wrapped in a bow.

Sizable percentages of college students support violence and totalitarian movements. So why be shocked that a mere 18% support Hamas? That’s less than half the rating for an ideology responsible for killing some 100 million people.

We have a problem here and the problem is runaway leftist extremism that has been allowed to take over college campuses. Higher education has become a terrorist training camp and we need to treat it accordingly.
