Hillsdale College Reports No Violent Antisemitic Protests For 180th Year In A Row

HILLSDALE, MI — As aggressive, threatening mobs of students continued to gather at Columbia University, Hillsdale College once again proudly reported no violent antisemitic protests for the 180th year in a row.

"We're keeping the streak alive," said a Hillsdale spokesperson. "While other schools struggle to make it through a single semester without violent antisemitic mobs taking over portions of the campus, Hillsdale is still adhering to the tried and true method of just, you know, teaching students about various subjects pertaining to their areas of study."

The historic achievement has amazed faculty at other schools. "I don't know how they do it," said an Ivy League administration who asked to remain anonymous. "The idea that a college could just educate students and avoid having vitriolic protests erupting on campus is awe-inspiring. Maybe someday we can go back to teaching people and no one will have to worry about a new wave of anti-Jewish hatred taking over the school… but not today. Only Hillsdale can make that claim."

The Hillsdale spokesperson also pointed to the school's outstanding track record of not having leaders resign in disgrace due to ethical violations.

At publishing time, Hillsdale had also issued a press release announcing that there have still been no calls from anyone in Congress to send the National Guard to restore safety and security on campus.

Whoever wrote this article should have done a bit more research and been a bit more cautious.

I like Hillsdale, don’t get me wrong, and I had a great x 8 (roughly) grandfather who was on the original board, but no place this side heaven is perfect.

Absolutely true, that's why Hillsdale chose The Bee to lampoon themselves, while pointing out the higher standard they promote.

Also the entire Hillsdale crowd shows they have a sense of humor, another plus!

Possibly. It is also possible that something from 20 years ago has largely been forgotten by a sub-group working in promotion.

While Hillsdale hasn’t had a high ranking official resign recently, the incident I linked to is up there in the scandal department, especially for a (formerly I believe) Baptist institution that does believe that people ought to behave themselves.

But their hearts are in the right place. What is going on at the Ivies and other elite schools is Nazi style madness. It is both embarrassing and has dangerous potential.

I regularly read the Hillsdale newsletter.

I value and enjoy their discussions, historical articles and reports.
