Bard has a wonderful and relaxing campus. I do hope the current students treat with you with a modicum of respect and dignity.

Very left-leaning vibe there - hope it's far enough left to be beyond the reach of the neocon left.

There's a dumbness and meanness — and often an extremely myopic narcissistic single-mindedness — on college campuses that transcends "left" or "right." I'd argue that it's ultimately an intense in-group signaling that is totally apolitical, albeit dressed up in the appearance of the political.

Screaming, whole-hog, into the void, as it were.

George Soros gave Bard $500M in 2019. And make no mistake, that money is being used to subvert America. Bard has gone from a silly far-left college to a dangerous indoctrination center.

how so ? Do u think soros fellows are bad people ? Do you think his foundation supports ideas or institutions that subvert America? Explain because I see just the opposite

I suppose the promise of the "open society" (diversity everywhere) is the end of tribalism, and warring nations/states, and that sounds desirable, but ultimately, this also means the end of diversity. Ironic, isn't it? Look at Europe, for example. Who will carry on the unique cultures of Italy, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway? With open borders, people come into countries at such a rate that they don't assimilate. Say goodbye to diversity of culture.

I do, but I think this needs to be discussed, so I upvoted you. I'm no fan of Soros' Open Society Foundation, or of most of the causes it supports. (Full disclosure: I have bought, sold, and currently own shares in Soros Fund Management, LLC.)

It's absolutely left of the neocons. Even the principal was condemned by the ADL.
