A professor at Columbia University recently tried to warn her colleagues about terrorist groups infiltrating the campus, but she was quickly cut off and silenced by an associate dean in charge of gender equality. During a faculty senate meeting, Professor Carol Ewing Garber raised concerns about outsiders with ties to terrorist organizations being present at the Ivy League school. The associate dean, Jeanine D’Armiento, interrupted Garber and muted her microphone, claiming there was no evidence to support Garber’s claims.
Garber tried to emphasize the need for a thorough investigation into these groups and pointed out the evidence of their influence on student groups. She also expressed concerns about individuals feeling afraid because of the presence of these groups on campus. The incident has raised questions about the role and effectiveness of diversity, equity, and inclusion positions at the university.
@FBI this is what FISA was supposed to be used for, not for spying on Presidents looking to work for the American people…https://t.co/sI3Gx8aCYW

The atmosphere at Columbia University has become charged and toxic, with ongoing anti-Israel protests and controversy surrounding the appearance of individuals linked to a terrorist organization on campus. The handling of security and ideological conflicts on campus has come under intense scrutiny, and there are growing concerns about the university’s response to these issues.
The incident has sparked a broader discussion about the actions of anti-Israel protesters and the administration’s response. It has also highlighted the need for diversity, equity, and inclusion roles to genuinely uphold the values of equity and justice, rather than simply enforcing the latest leftist orthodoxy.
The Dean’s handling of the situation has raised concerns about the moral integrity of universities and the safety of the nation. As a result, there is a growing need for rigorous oversight and a genuine commitment to upholding the principles of equity and justice to prevent further deterioration of foundational values.
