When the NYPD moved in on the New York University pro-Hamas occupiers Monday night, professors formed a human chain to block the cops — neatly revealing a huge part of the problem in US academia.
Remember: The issue was the protesters’ decision to seize a central part of the campus in a bid to blackmail the school into divesting from Israel over the Hamas war — and their hateful intimidation of those who disagree.
This wasn’t free speech (nor even orderly civil disobedience), but the reverse: using force to impose their beliefs.
And these faculty fully endorsed that radical, deeply liberal action.
Academia is deeply rotten.
