Instead of Cancelling, Ivy School Hires Election Denier
Columbia University announces in a press release that a longtime friend of school president Lee Bollinger is joining the faculty:
Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former U.S. Secretary of State, will join Columbia University as professor of practice at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) and presidential fellow at Columbia World Projects (CWP).
The Columbia release alleges that the new hire “will be helping” to “explore the fundamental questions on how to advance efforts to renew democracy.”
Imagine how much good Mrs. Clinton might have done for our republic if she had chosen not to spend years promoting bogus theories about the 2016 presidential campaign and instead had simply accepted defeat?
Campus Cancel Culture
In the New York Times, Vimal Patel reports:
Erika López Prater, an adjunct professor at Hamline University, said she knew many Muslims have deeply held religious beliefs that prohibit depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. So last semester for a global art history class, she took many precautions before showing a 14th-century painting of Islam’s founder.
In the syllabus, she warned that images of holy figures, including the Prophet Muhammad and the Buddha, would be shown in the course. She asked students to contact her with any concerns, and she said no one did.
In class, she prepped students, telling them that in a few minutes, the painting would be displayed, in case anyone wanted to leave.
Then Dr. López Prater showed the image — and lost her teaching gig.
