UNIVERSITIES - "Social Justice Factories"

That University looks like it has a Jewish foundation. Many of its "courses" focus on Israel.



And its agenda is clearly Marxist.

We have an anti-Israel BDS at my alma mater. Many of it's members are Jews.

There is diversity of opinion among Jews.

Why the easily offended are a threat to scientific progress



Lawrence M. Krauss, Special to National Post



https://nationalpost.com/opinion/lawrence-krauss-the-offence-offensive">The mantras of diversity, inclusion and anti-racism are placing feelings above academic freedom



There is a growing public perception that being offended confers special rights while also imposing obligations on the offending parties. It doesn't. Or at least it shouldn't. Nevertheless, perhaps as a consequence of the current educational focus on issues of diversity, inclusion and anti-racism, this warped viewpoint is insinuating itself into higher education and research at a level that is increasingly threatening free speech, academic freedom and with it, scientific progress.

While there are many academic areas where raw political sensibilities might impact on scholarly discourse, it is hard to think of chemistry as such an area.  Nevertheless, new guidelines for accepting and editing papers were recently sent to editors of the prestigious Journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.



"Following the publication of the article by (Tomáš Hudlický) in (German journal) Angewandte Chemie and the identification of a potentially offensive image in a journal, a set of guidelines has been produced by RSC staff to help us minimise the risk of publishing inappropriate or otherwise offensive content. Offence is a subjective matter and sensitivity to it spans a considerable range; however, we bear in mind that it is the perception of the recipient that we should consider, regardless of the author's intention . ... Please consider whether or not any content (words, depictions or imagery) might have the potential to cause offence, referring to the guidelines as needed. " (italics mine)

Of course it is. It's straight out of the Frankfurt School of thought.
