It’s possible Morningside Heights has found its annual autumn incident. A U.S. Department of Education committee is investigating whether a Columbia University department head “steered” a Jewish student away from taking a class on the Mideast taught by Professor Joseph Massad due to the perception that she would be “uncomfortable” because of the professor’s pro-Palestinian tilt, according to the Institute for Jewish & Community Research’s Kenneth L. Marcus, the complainant in the case. According to Marcus, Judith Jacobson, an epidemiology professor at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health who is also active in campus politics, informed him of the alleged incident. He also said that Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which he headed for a time during the Bush administration, informed him it had granted its request to launch a probe.

“Soft power at its finest is a slushie machine in which you can put anything on one end and it comes out the other end as a shapeless squishy liquid that tastes like nothing unless you add a lot of corn syrup. The media has been doing double duty pouring sugar on all the soft power, which is why some ABC and NBC viewers still don’t know how bad the situation is, while every BBC, RTV and Al-Jazeera viewer does.
While we kill them softly with violin music and the occasional drone raid, they’re wiping out our economy, doing cartwheels over our foreign policy and fighting over which of them will be the next world power. And they’re not doing it softly.”
No sooner did Anwar Al-Awlaki, former go to guy for mainstream media heads in need of a quote about the peacefulness of Islam, go to his virgins courtesy of a beautiful aerodynamic drone, then the State Department called the family of one of his co-terroriststs offer their condolences and apologize for not calling them sooner. And if they had only called sooner, the nearest and dearest could have been treated to a condolence countdown. You are about to be bereaved in 5-4-3-2-1… our condolences.
