It’s hardly a secret that most college campuses are hotbeds of leftist indoctrination. One student at Cornell<\/a> is unafraid to call it out<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Last week, the Student Activities Funding Commission<\/a>, without precedent or any forewarning to students, unilaterally decided to donate $10,000 to the ongoing Cornell Students for Black Lives<\/a> fundraiser. This would be an unprecedented sum for any registered student organization, especially one less than a month old … Despite not even being a registered student organization, they have received $2,500 more than the highest tier student organization receives in an entire semester … Even more questionable, the SAFC, entirely funded by students\u2019 activity fees, used your money to do it. The SAFC ought to answer for this unprecedented use of student funds. Cornell Students for Black Lives stated two weeks ago that the money raised will be evenly divided among five political activist organizations: Black Lives Matter of Greater New York<\/a>, Communities United for Police Reform<\/a>, NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund<\/a>, Southside Community Center<\/a> and Tompkins County Showing Up for Racial Justice<\/a> … this does not give the SAFC license to support organizations with overtly political objectives. These organizations speak for a variety of radical objectives well beyond the scope of racial justice, and the SAFC has made the dubious decision to endorse their actions with students\u2019 funds. For example, … The national chapter of BLM has launched the #WhatMatters2020<\/a> campaign meant to advocate for policies beyond just racial justice, including gun control<\/strong> … Whether one agrees with these positions or not is irrelevant \u2014 they are controversial political issues that the SAFC has no place supporting with student funds. It would be just as inappropriate to donate to the NRA<\/a>, the Federalist Society<\/a> or any other conservative group. These are all controversial political issues that the SAFC has no place funding, let alone with your money …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good for this guy having the guts to call out such bullshit. More people, especially students on campus, need to stand up against it.<\/p>\n
