Come to the South, Jewish Students -- Where You'll Be Safe

Jewish students in the Ivy League, I’m here to offer an invitation: Come to the South, where you’ll be safe. ...

Sure, you’ll miss the good parts of New York or Cambridge (or . . . Philadelphia?). But red-state college towns are full of excellent bars, restaurants, music venues, theaters and other amenities of civilized living. (And at much more reasonable prices.)

People are friendly, and many of these schools have a lively Jewish presence and would welcome more. Maybe the degrees aren’t from Columbia, but the way things are going, is that so bad?

And amenities aside, most important, you won’t be surrounded by people who hate Jews, people who are enabled, if not encouraged, by university administrations dependent on the full-tuition revenues of hate-filled foreign students and their governments. (If foreign money is corrupting our universities to this extent, maybe we should shut it off.)

No one's putting up with this in my community in central Texas, either. We have a major private college not too far away, and a friend of mine asked a current student if any pro-Hamas rallies had taken place. The student said no, and said that they wouldn't be welcomed there, either. 

Not every college is a moral disaster, but here in the South, there are a lot fewer of them that are. One big reason is because Texas law enforcement won't put up with the hate rallies, as they showed today in Austin.
