And You Want Me To Recommend The University Of British Columbia As A Legitimate Place Of Higher Learning?

You gotta be joking!!
A Professor at The UBC Medical School said this about the attempted assassination on Donald Trump’s life:
“Damn, so close. Too bad,” wrote Karen Pinder, a professor of teaching at UBC’s medical school, on X. “What a glorious day this could have been!”
This is an utter disgrace! She should be fired immediately.
Can you imagine sending your child to a cesspool like this?
This is a public ‘university’ that gets gobs of money from the taxpayer . As a matter of fact over $1,000,000,000 per year in a direct grant from the provincial government.
Both Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Eby have commented in a slippery way opposing violence and the attempted assassination but neither have called for The Professor’s dismissal.
I have been writing about the decline of our society for some time.
Here is a classic example of it at the highest echelons of education in our country. Our Prime Minister and a Provincial Premier as woke as they come.
Both of them should be fired as well.
Oh! Press reports say the University is investigating.
Nothing to investigate here. If she said it and from all accounts( NationalPost) and later deleted it—-she should be gone.
This University boasts that it is ranked number 2 in Canada —-
With people like Karen Pinder ( I can’t call her a Professor) around and her ilk that ranking means zero.
Just last week I wrote the University about their involvement in the months long Pro Palestinian protest on campus and were they involved in the protest suddenly leaving the campus. Could not get an answer except a platitude of supporting dialogue.
Oh, The rot!!
The universities should be shut down, but leave the libraries open for those of us who may want to actually learn.
