DEI-brainwashed students have disrupted the campus, inciting violence and threatening Jewish students and faculty. This is not an isolated incident. Similar anti-Israel encampments have popped up at other elite schools across the country. Recently, Michael wrote an article on the Columbia University protests where he called on Joe Biden to make good on his threat to take action if institutions could not maintain a “learning environment that is free from discrimination.” Tune in at 4 p.m. to learn more about Michael’s view on DEI and its involvement in this surge in antisemitism and what needs to be done to get our colleges and universities back on track.
