Amid the encampment at Columbia University‚ PolitiFact slapped the “false” label on Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday for declaring that the school advised Jewish students to stay away from campus. The only problem is that Johnson never explicitly claimed that they did‚ but rather that was the unstated implication of their hybrid learning plan. Louis Jacobson writes‚ “Later‚ during an April 24 CNN interview that aired after his Columbia visit‚ Johnson said he was standing up for &;quot;Jewish students who are in fear of their lives‚ who were cowering in their apartments right now‚ who are not coming to class. In fact‚ the administration recognized the threat was so great‚ they canceled classes. Now they've come out with this hybrid idea. ‘Well‚ if you're Jewish‚ maybe you do want to stay at home. Maybe you'd be better off for you.’” The NewsBusters write-up of that CNN interview can be found here. As for Jacobson‚ he continues‚ “Johnson called this attitude ‘so discriminatory. It's so wrong in every way. The responsibility of a university administrator is to keep peace on campus and ensure the safety of students — job No. 1.’&;quot; He also writes‚ “Johnson’s comment prompted an April 25 post from a new account on X from the Columbia Journalism School devoted to fact-checking statements about the Columbia protests” and “The post quoted Columbia University's provost’s office‚ saying‚ &;quot;The university administration has not issued any directives or specific instructions to Jewish students about avoiding campus or taking classes remotely.&;quot; Jacobson goes on to cite President Minouche Shafik stating her preference was for students who live off-campus to stay home. As for that CJS account‚ they have managed to fact-check one Israeli professor and counter-protestor‚ Shai Davidai‚ for saying the protests prove Hamas is on campus claiming &;quot;There is currently no evidence of any member of Hamas on Columbia's campus&;quot; as if Hamas's ideology is absent or that no member of the faculty has ever praised Hamas. They also shamed Punchbowl/NBC's Jake Sherman for claiming that an anti-Semite was at Columbia when he was‚ in reality‚ just down the street. They can't be bothered to check any of the protestors incendiary claims about genocide‚ however. Still‚ there is also a significant discrepancy in Jacobson’s article versus the CJS. The CJS account claimed Johnson “suggests” the Columbia administration advised Jewish students to stay home‚ whereas Jacobson used the more definitive “said.”  It is common for people to paraphrase others when they believe that they are trying to get away with saying something odorous in a polite way. Columbia explicitly advising Jewish students to stay home would be a P.R. disaster‚ meaning Johnson’s paraphrase was his way of citing what he thought the administration was really saying by their refusal to end the encampments against Israel and Zionists‚ which is just anyone who thinks Israel should exist. Jacobson conceded that there was a Columbia-affiliated rabbi who urged Jewish students to stay home‚ making it possible that Johnson simply confused the rabbi with the administration. If that is true‚ then Jacobson should’ve written another one of PolitiFact’s explainer articles that do not feature the truth-o-meter. Speaking of the truth-o-meter-free explainer articles‚ Joe Biden has explicitly compared Republicans to Jim Crow‚ which Republicans‚ of course‚ deny. However‚ Jacobson couldn’t be bothered to pull out the truth-o-meter for that Biden claim‚ instead writing‚ “Some historians say Biden’s rhetorical point was justified as a way of highlighting the dangers of backsliding from hard-won voting rights.”

What used to be an escape from an overly politicized world‚ the video games industry is slowly being reshaped in part by a development and consultation studio infecting the bloodstream with corporate liberalism run amok with a scam company operating as a way to bolster one’s Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion (DEI) credentials. Sweet Baby Inc. was founded in 2018 and works with video game studios to help &;quot;diversify&;quot; their new releases. The company's mission statement speaks volumes‚ reeking with buzzwords: Founded in 2018‚ Sweet Baby Inc. is a narrative development and consultation studio based in Montreal and working around the globe. Our mission is to tell better‚ more empathetic stories while diversifying and enriching the video games industry. We aim to make games more engaging‚ more fun‚ more meaningful‚ and more inclusive‚ for everyone. “Empathetic‚” “diversifying‚” “more inclusive‚” and “for everyone.” The only thing missing is the talk of multiple genders. Sweet Baby Inc. also claims that &;quot;you need diverse voices to solve diverse problems.&;quot; To achieve alleged problems‚ they offer writing‚ narrative‚ representation‚ and development. In other words‚ pretty common components for a development consultant. But as far as representation goes‚ one can only assume they mean no white characters. When a former Sweet Baby Inc. employee was presented with a design for a white character‚ she wrote‚ &;quot;fuck white people‚&;quot; on the graphic: Dani LaLonders SWEET BABY INC graduate‚ her employee designed a white character and she responded back with &;quot;F*CK WHITE PEOPLE&;quot; pic.twitter.com/wZ2Tlk9Y9b — BadSoundingSentences (@BadSoundingS) April 28‚ 2024   If that’s what bringing representation to video games looks like‚ surely they must excel in writing‚ narrative‚ and development&;#33; Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Valhalla‚ Sony's God of War: Ragnarok‚ and Warner Bros. Games' Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League‚ are some major titles recently released that Sweet Baby Inc. has had their hand in making. Their scope of consultation goes beyond those studios and also includes the likes of Valve‚ Electronic Arts‚ 2K Studios‚ Xbox Game Studios‚ Square Enix‚ Wizards of the Coast‚ and many others. However‚ not every company has great success when going woke. Unfortunately for the crew at Mimimi Games‚ they consulted with Sweet Baby Inc. on Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew‚ and after costs outweighed their revenue‚ they closed their doors. Many people pointed to Sweet Baby Inc. as the reason why Mimimi Games shut down. With DEI tainting the world around us and now tainting the virtual world‚ one man who goes by Kabrutus‚ created a website that detects DEI in video games. The site‚ deidetected.com‚ is a spawn from a Steam curator list titled &;quot;Sweet Baby Inc detected‚&;quot; which is simply a list of games available on the Steam marketplace. That’s it. Nothing more‚ nothing less. The curator list currently has over 350k followers and has garnered attacks on Kabrutus and others from Sweet Baby Inc. employees.  But supporters of this shift in video games are trying to reframe the Sweet Baby Inc. backlash as a hate movement: They are trying to reframe the Sweet Baby Inc. backlash as a hate movement. Yes it was...on their part. Don't let them forget SBI started it and never apologized. https://t.co/dsDDZ15hTS pic.twitter.com/klPpWHyLQq — Grummz (@Grummz) April 24‚ 2024 These attacks come as no surprise when the Co-Founder of Sweet Baby Inc. had this to say at Game Developers Conference 2019: The Co-Founder of Sweet Baby Inc Kim Belair proudly explains the method she uses to force bosses at game studios to censor‚ alter‚ and &;quot;diversify&;quot; game projects she feels are problematic - &;quot;Terrify them&;quot; aka threaten them with the anger of the cancel culture mob. pic.twitter.com/eFJZeKqSZd — GamesNosh (@GamesNosh) March 4‚ 2024 So why are studios still working with Sweet Baby Inc.&;#63; I think in order to get the proper funds from share holders‚ certain things need to be checked off. Consulting sweet baby inc might be one of them — Mightykeef (@MightyKeef) April 24‚ 2024

The year was 1966 and Ronald Reagan was running for governor of California. A major part of his platform was to “clean up the mess at Berkeley” and other college campuses throughout the state that were experiencing protests and strikes over issues that included the military draft‚ civil rights and “women’s issues.” While not on a scale of the pro-Hamas‚ anti-Israel‚ anti-America and Jewish hatred we are witnessing now on several college campuses‚ Reagan’s response could instruct current college presidents and admissions officers to quell the unrest. The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History has preserved Reagan’s remarks and later actions as governor. In a campaign speech‚ Reagan said many leftist campus movements had transcended legitimate protest‚ with the actions of &;quot;beatniks‚ radicals and filthy speech advocates&;quot; having more to do &;quot;with rioting‚ with anarchy&;quot; than &;quot;academic freedom.&;quot; He faulted university administrators and faculty‚ who &;quot;press their particular value judgments&;quot; on students‚ for &;quot;a leadership gap and a morality and decency gap&;quot; on campus‚ and suggested a code of conduct be imposed on faculty to &;quot;force them to serve as examples of good behavior and decency.&;quot; Morality‚ good behavior and decency appear to be electives‚ not requirements‚ on too many of today’s university campuses whose “students” (and apparently not all are students) are now running the institutions of what might be called lower learning. Six months after becoming governor in 1967‚ Reagan wrote a letter to Glenn Dumke‚ chancellor of San Francisco State College‚ who opposed the unrest occurring on many California campuses. In it‚ Reagan condemned “these people and this trash” who used “the excuse of academic freedom and freedom of expression” to justify continuation of the protests. “We wouldn’t tolerate this kind of language in front of our families.” He called on Dumke to “lay down some rules of conduct and promised “you’d have (all the) backing I could give you.” We need to hear more of this type of talk to counter the anarchists and hatred of Jews and Israel and support of terrorist organizations on today’s college campuses. Even more than talk‚ action is needed. Writing in The Wall Street Journal‚ Ira Stoll says the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Open Society Foundation headed by George Soros have been contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars to leftist organizations that funnel money to groups that are behind these campus upheavals. At a minimum the IRS should take a look at their tax-exempt status to see if they have violated regulations pertaining to what is allowable for nonprofits. The government should also look at whether any of those shouting antisemitic and anti-American slogans are here on student visas. If they are those visas should be revoked and the students deported. Others who are found guilty of giving aid and comfort to terrorists should be expelled. Some wealthy donors to Columbia University and other schools have pledged to withdraw financial support if order and decorum are not restored. All of this feeds the view that America is coming apart. Where are the leaders like Ronald Reagan who label this behavior for what it is and then do something about it&;#63; Reagan ended his letter to Dumke with a question that should answer itself: “Hasn’t the time come to take on those neurotics in our faculty group and lay down some rules of conduct for the students comparable to what we’d expect in our own families&;#63;” If that time had come in 1967‚ surely it is long past due in 2024.
