Billionaire Robert Kraft‚ owner of the New England Patriots‚ is putting his money where his mouth is.Columbia University has become ground zero for anti-Semitism after students began occupying a spot on the campus now called the &;quot;Gaza Solidarity Encampment.&;quot;Last Thursday‚ university administrators allowed police officers to arrest more than 100 students‚ which only emboldened the anti-Israel protesters. Now‚ Columbia faculty members are walking out in solidarity with the protesters‚ and students at other schools‚ including Yale and New York University‚ are protesting. The protests are threatening the safety of Jewish students. One Jewish student at Yale was even stabbed in the eye.On Monday‚ Kraft said he will stop supporting Columbia because of the protests.&;quot;I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country‚&;quot; said Kraft‚ a Columbia alumnus and longtime donor. &;quot;I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its student and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until collective action is taken‚&;quot; he added. &;quot;It is my hope that Columbia and its leadership will stand up to this hate by ending these protests immediately and will work to earn back the respect and trust of the many of us who have lost faith in the institution.&;quot;Kraft is an observant Orthodox Jew and has donated tens of millions of dollars to Columbia University. The school even named the Jewish student center after him.Ultimately‚ Kraft's decision to stop supporting Columbia University will not impact the school‚ whose endowment is more than $13 billion. But the growing phenomenon of wealthy donors pulling their financial support from universities is an interesting development in higher education‚ especially considering academia has almost universally embraced progressivism and a leftist worldview.&;quot;Our profession may be on a suicide mission‚&;quot; said University of Pennsylvania scholar-in-residence Brian Rosenwald on Monday. &;quot;It's like a game of how can we alienate everyone but the far left despite having an exceptionally expensive product that needs broad buy in. I can only shake my head‚&;quot; he observed.Essentially‚ American academia is biting the hand that feeds it‚ which‚ if gone unchecked‚ will threaten its livelihood and comfortable existence.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Jason Whitlock has never been shy about his feelings regarding former LSU forward Angel Reese‚ who was just drafted to the Chicago Sky last week. In short‚ he’s not a fan. Reese’s taunting of Caitlin Clark – a white‚ heterosexual player who also happens to be a record-smashing superstar and the number-one WNBA draft pick – and the idea that Reese is “arguably the most overrated athlete of [his] lifetime‚” has soured Jason toward the “Bayou Barbie.” However‚ on Monday night‚ Reese posted a tweet that may have Jason reevaluating the athlete. The tweet comes just days after Biden’s amendments to Title IX rules‚ which will grant more protections to LGBTQ+ students‚ including prohibiting discrimination on the basis of “gender identity.” The revisions have massive implications for female athletes. Not only has Reese “made it cool to lean into the feminine‚ sexy side of being an athlete‚” but now she’s perhaps becoming “a baby Riley Gaines‚” says Jason. While Delano Squires echoes Jason’s sentiments‚ he’s far more skeptical. “Is she prepared to stand her ground ten toes down‚ all 6 '4&;quot; and say‚ ‘I'm a woman‚ I'm speaking up for women's sports‚ and that's what it's going to be’&;#63;” he asks. “Angel Reese is not going to back down here‚” Jason assures‚ adding that “she is a legitimate influencer‚ and playing this feminine role is going to make her relevant and more money.” But Squires doesn’t share Jason’s confidence in the Bayou Barbie. “I definitely would take the opposite side‚” he says. The number of “black people who are willing to stand in the public square taking positions that the culture completely disagrees with” while enduring “the scorn‚ the hatred‚ the name calling‚ the loss of opportunities ... is extremely small.” “[Reese] is going to have handlers; she’s going to have PR reps; she’s going to have media coaches ... she’s going to have all of the other women in the WNBA‚” he says‚ making it clear that he believes it’s only a matter of time before she caves to the woke mob.
