Seeing videos of anti-Israel mobs harassing, intimidating, and even assaulting Jewish students on campuses nationwide, it is tempting simply to write off those institutions of “higher education” as irredeemable. To an extent, the United States would be a better place if Columbia, Harvard, and Yale were ignored.
But as unappealing as many universities have become, we need them to teach students the skills and knowledge required for success. We can’t just allow the anti-Israel Left to claim and wreck all higher education.
We must be smart in how we cure the antisemitic rot that has spread through campuses. Giving the Department of Education more power to enforce badly worded speech codes, as the House of Representatives did when it passed the Antisemitism Awareness Act, is not the answer.
The first step to reclaiming college campuses is getting the right leadership installed….
