Anti-anti Slavery at Columbia 

Mary, at Exit Zero has brought back some amazing reports from such exotic locales as the United Nations. Yesterday she ventured into the wilds of Columbia University for a conference on academic integrity and lived to tell the tale. There was good, there was bad, there was ugly.

An illustration of the latter was a student response to an address by feminist Phyllis Chesler who was making the unremarkable point that anti-semitism has no place in the university.
When Chesler pointed out that Israel was not an apartheid
state, and that IDF soldiers were not Nazis, a small group of
students "spontaneously" disagreed. Their voices were loud
enough to silence Chesler for a moment. The moderator told
the group that if they were going to cause a disturbance, they
would have to leave. The students then pasted pre-printed
Kinko’s-quality packing stickers over their mouths, on which
"Silenced by the David Project." was printed.
Students also were organized against the anti-slavery movement.

Read it all.
