Subject: Bill Maher on college
The money quote:
'if ignorance is a disease, Harvard Yard is the Wuhan wet market.

(Covid came from that lab, but this is still a great line)

He throws in some jabs at Republicans, but that's not who the target is:
There are few, if any, positives to come out of what happened in Israel, but one of them is opening America's eyes to how higher education has become indoctrination into a stew of bad ideas. Among them, the simplistic notion that the world is a binary place where everyone is either an oppressor or oppressed.

In the case of Israel, oppressors being babies and bubbas, the same students who will tell you that words are violence and silence is violence were very supportive when Hamas terrorists went on a rape and murder rampage worthy of the Vikings. They knew where to point the fingers, at the murdered and then it was off to ethics class.

Now I recognize that a certain amount of foolishness is expected of college kids. But mixing Jagermeister and tomato juice isn't the same as siding with terrorists. 34 student groups at Harvard signed a letter that said the apartheid regime is the only one to blame, proving they don't know what constitutes apartheid. They don't know much of anything, actually.

But it doesn't deter them from having an opinion. They've convinced themselves Israel is the most repressive regime in history because they have no knowledge of history or even a desire to know it. And actual history doesn't come up in their intersectionality of politics and gender queer identities class.

And what about woke college Presidents, who never miss a chance to run to a microphone every time somebody gets misgendered?

The fact that college presidents who usually love to speak out about anything couldn't find their voice to condemn the worst attack since the Holocaust. There's a lot about who really controls colleges and why if ignorance is a disease, Harvard Yard is the Wuhan wet market.
