Inmates Running the Asylum
Diane M. Kimura
The inmates are running the asylum.
Johanna King-Slutsky, who absurdly stated that Columbia University had an obligation to bring meal plans and drinks to students who violently took over Hamilton Hall with hammers, destroyed the interiors of the building and illegally detained a building janitor - on Columbia’s campus this past Spring - is now a Professor teaching a mandatory class at Columbia in the same Hamilton Hall this fall!
Back in May, King-Slutsky took questions from reporters, as if she was some kind of legitimate spokesperson for criminals, and made the following ridiculous statement:
"I guess it’s ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students,” King-Slutzky said in a video posted on X. "Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill even if they disagree with you? If the answer is no, then you should allow basic … I mean, it’s crazy to say because we’re on an Ivy League campus, but this is basic humanitarian aid we’re asking for, like could people please have a glass of water?”
Now this person is teaching "Contemporary Western Civilization” to all of those students who spent their entire childhoods working to get into an "Ivy League” school.
This is a sad joke and a terrible indictment of where Columbia is as an institution. Someone who actively defends violent and illegal actions shouldn’t be teaching anyone anything.

I have to say that the whole concept of "higher education" has gone down the tubes -- to use a popular expression. If a person such as King-Slutsky (and, pray tell, how does she even dare present herself with a name like that? But I suppose I'm presumptuous to assume she's a "she" these days) can be set up to teach a mandatory class at an institution such as Columbia, which used to be an honored outfit that people ponied up horrendous sums of money to send their kids to, we really are in deep trouble.

Indeed she does. I shudder to think what she might look like.
