California and the Jew-haters
Yesterday I wrote about a blood libel that appeared in the Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles is southern California, although the paper has a broader reach than that. Today we have northern California: Berkeley, to be exact. First, grade schools and high schools [emphasis mine]:
Enduring “Kill the Jews” statements from peers. Being asked what their number is, “referring to numbers tattooed on Jews during the Holocaust.” Teacher-prompted walk-outs in support of Hamas terrorists. A teacher directing second-graders to write, “Stop bombing babies” on sticky notes displayed around the school.
These are some of the allegations against the Berkeley Unified School District in a Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and Anti-Defamation League complaint filed on Wednesday with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
The complaint further alleges that “peer-on-peer antisemitic bullying has escalated, as students are emboldened to emulate their teachers and perpetuate the hostility against their Jewish classmates.” The situation “is so bad that Jewish and Israeli students are often afraid to go to school,” the complaint adds.
“The eruption of antisemitism in Berkeley’s elementary and high schools is like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” said Kenneth L. Marcus, chairman of the Brandeis Center.
This is taught in the schools and the teachers are the instruments who spread the hatred.
Next, the University of California at Berkeley:
Some 200 people protested violently outside an event with a former Israel Defense Forces soldier at the University of California, Berkeley on Monday night, forcing Jewish students at the event to evacuate.
Anti-Israel students banged on doors and windows—breaking a glass door—and chanted “intifada, intifada” and accused the speaker Ran Bar-Yoshafat of committing genocide, The Daily Wire reported.
Bar-Yoshafat, who fought in Gaza with a special forces unit, told the publication that he was guilty until proven innocent to the protesters. “I don’t think this about the IDF, Jews or even Israel,” he said. “This is them lacking Western values like freedom of speech.”
Eventually, the event “Israel at War: Combat the Lies” had to be canceled.
Not just freedom of speech: truth is another casualty. And what is this “had to be canceled” business? It was a choice to cancel it, a choice the demonstrators counted on the administration making. One of the main reasons for such demonstrations is to make it extremely expensive to have such speakers, because security has to be stepped up. Of course, the administration could decide to do that in advance, if having such speakers was something they wanted. Also, ex post facto, they could decide to identify the students and make them suffer some sort of consequences. I very much doubt they will, and the demonstrators know it.
The provost wrote a meaningless statement of sympathy to the Jewish students. But the university should have anticipated the problem and prepared for it and prevented or controlled it. Or, if they failed to do that, they should have responded to it by calling the university police or the Berkeley police. Of course they didn’t. The school is a big part of the problem. Perhaps – as in England – the police there are, as well.
Today’s Jew-haters are feeling very strong and very immune, and they are deeply ensconced in the schools of California, although the problem is hardly limited to that state.
I suppose I can say I know where it came from. But, my God, the spread into so many corners and so hugely out in the open.
Not long ago, parents who stood up against a school board or district that was promoting Child Grooming and/or Racist courses were set upon by the FBI & DoJ — where is Federal law enforcement on these Hate Crime attacks!?
Look at what happened to the Jan6 protestors. Now mobs are allowed to openly attack & threaten Jewish students of all ages, and not a peep from Federal Law enforcement.
I’m into creating new Capital Crime Laws today. Capital Crime for teacher to promote antisemitism in his/her class. Capital Crime for all protestors threatening Jewish students.
Teachers and curricula are a large part of the problem. As the song in “South Pacific” goes, “You have to be taught to hate and fear; it has to be drummed in your dear little ear, you have to be carefully taught.”
Well said, Kate! Well said, indeed!
Federal Government & the National Guard were called in from like 1957 to ??? to protect black American students. Why not protect Jewish students now?!
GOP Congress is about useless…
New Capital Crime Law – if your Congressman isn’t helping to protect Jewish students, then that Congressman/person should be tried for a Capital Crime!
Consider how gemini is denying the sexual violence against the hostages while they pump up more agita reportedly on the west bank
I have pointed out before; the average IQ of college students has been decreasing for years. They aren’t really that bright. This necessarily has to happen as the egalitarians promote college for everybody. Once everybody has a college degree, the average IQ of college students will be no higher than that of the general population.
“Why not protect Jewish students now?!”
Um, a bit of confusion here between 1957 and today.
In 1957, countering racism and segregation was considered a moral imperative…(though Harper Lee’s second novel reflects some other thoughts on the matter—viz. that Northerners rammed desegregation down Southern throats before the South was ready for it; according to which view, the South would ultimately have arrived at desegregation but at its own pace…OMMV may vary, of course.)
Today, racism against certain groups, in general is considered the moral imperative—especially hounding Jews and threatening Israel with destruction, in particular.
Indeed, a bit of confusion…
(Besides, there’s an election to win, doncha’ know…)
Confusion?
…oh, and then there’s gender…
“I Pretended To Be ‘Nonbinary’ To Expose a Medical Scandal at Kaiser Permanente”—

H/T Instapundit.
…except that I’m pretty sure it’s less a matter of confusion than it is a concerted attack on the family and on society generally by “Biden” and his merrye crew of criminals, outlaws and perverts…

Most of the teaching staff in the Berkeley district is white. (The superintendent is black).

My hypothesis would be that teaching and school administration attract and retain people of a sort Thos. Sowell has described. Their worldview is regulated by exercises in self-congratulation. They cannot be impartial to anyone because that would mean treating their mascots on a par with the children of the benighted. They cannot countenance debate and ordinary courtesy because their self-understanding cannot abide the view that their are contrary arguments. Such people are hopeless as pedagogues and hopeless as managers.
==
Ultimately, it is not that difficult to contain disruptions of the sort described. Firing faculty instigating these disruptions and expelling the juvenile ringleaders would put an end to them in short order.
Art.
Who is to do the finding and firing? And if it goes to court?
Might have to lay in a half-dozen air mattresses.

That’s not the problem here. It’s their manners, culture, and psychology.
==
A more salient problem with the expansion in higher education is that students who might benefit from 25 credit-hours of preparatory work (i.e. filling in gaps or obtaining discrete certificates in on-point academic subjects, business, and technology) followed by 48 credit-hours in occupational instruction are forced to sit for a haphazard assemblage of courses to get a baccalaureate degree (96 to 120 credit-hours). Get rid of the baccalaureate degree.
Who is to do the finding and firing?
==
The same sort of people who fired M.S. Adams for nothing. Just people who are of a just disposition, which means people you won’t find in school administration or, for the most part, on faculties.
==
There’s security cam footage and cell phone video everywhere. Never been easier to find people.
The Jew-haters in the dissident right sound no different from their left wing counterparts with their bleeding hearts for the so-called Palestinians and their eagerness to believe and spread Hamas propaganda.
A blogger calling herself Babba Zee wrote sometime in the 00’s: “The far left, far right, and political Islam all meet at Jew-hate Junction.
i’m sure he wasn’t considered an extremist in that pentagon report,

The lights are going out all over the world….
“This is taught in the schools and the teachers are the instruments who spread the hatred.”
Like rabies, there’s only one cure for a hatred immune to reason.
“Paneragate” is the latest news from California. I’m not fully up on the details yet. Newsom is in trouble (but of course, given what California has become, not really in trouble).
Like rabies, there’s only one cure for a hatred immune to reason.

Maybe a Warp Speed II could create a vaccine for this?
Forget about California.
Time to spotlight “Biden” (the invisible elephant in the room.)
“Lloyd Austin: Israel Killed “Over 25,000″ Women & Children In Gaza”—
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/lloyd-austin-israel-killed-over-25000-women-children-gaza
Key sentence:
“…The number is higher than the estimate that’s been put out by Gaza’s Health Ministry….”
This is—OFFICIALLY—“Biden”‘s Declaration of War against Israel (or perhaps more correctly, Netanyahu, though that would be hard to rationalize unless one is a hard-core “Transformationalist”), which began with Obama but is now out in the open.
One might do worse than wonder which medications Austin has been on since his recent hospitalizations…. Or if “the Big Guy” even knows what’s going on.
“Hunter Finally Admits Joe Biden Is “The Big Guy””—

No matter.
What began between 2009 and 2016 and kept—as much as possible—sub rosa, is NOW in earnest.
Speaking of Jew haters in California, I just watched the Eretz Nehederet (Israel’s version of Saturday Night Live) clip that huxley referenced. It’s brutal! Well worth your time. It perfectly skewers Hollywood celebrities’ lack of courage to stand up for causes that actually matter, like the plight of the Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Heh, the walkback begins.
“Pentagon ‘clarifies’ Austin cited Hamas statistics in testimony to Congress”—
https://www.jns.org/pentagon-clarifies-austin-cited-hamas-statistics-in-testimony-to-congress/
That sure was quick…even for the B(S)B(S)B(S) administration…not that they really mean it…but dem Joos is an easy mark…. Cf. https://www.thenewneo.com/2024/02/27/the-anti-israel-cia/
“Clarify” is such an “interesting” word. A clarifying word.
(‘Cept I don’t think it means what you think it means…)
Gonna get ugly.
(Clarifyingly ugly….)
IMHO, the Far-left hypocrite Michael Rapaport’s longtime support of the antisemitic Democratic party makes him as guilty of antisemitism as any of the violent student mobs or Palestinian mobs in America right now.
Barry M., the Pentagon spokesman had no good answer for why Sec. Austin was using Hamas estimates in Congressional testimony, or for why he said those were “women and children,” when he doesn’t even know the number, much less its composition. Disgraceful.
Ray, Art, et al,
” …the average IQ of college students has been decreasing for years.”
Have we considered that the smart kids, seeing the devaluation of a BS degree in BS, due in part to the vast and getting vaster number of people holding such degrees, are choosing not to go to college and earning large student debt; but are instead learning the trades that pay well and assure themselves of a bright financial future?
I am perhaps being a bit unfair to those students earning degrees in the STEM fields, which are certainly not BS; but which are being devalued by H1B visas more than by a surplus of candidates.
This in turn makes me wonder about the long term prospects of the smart kids choosing the trades that may well be flooded by the huge numbers of illegal immigrants that are finding their own way into the various trades.
And then, there’s automation.
Where does this all end, if end it does?
well many of the illegals do not have skills, this is what was discovered in the syrian migration, among the previous wave of mexicans they were not fluent in spanish or english but got by on nahuatl and other regional dialects,
