Temple University — where my colleagues and I were shouted down when we spoke there a few years ago. Temple University — where pro-Jewish voices are banned, uninvited from speaking after leftists and Muslims protested. Temple University — where Nazi youth would feel at home. It’s no surprise that when Marc Lamont Hill makes remarks that are too extreme even for the far-left propagandists who run CNN, that Temple University would have no problem with him. Temple and other universities all over the country are bastions of leftist indoctrination and Jew-hatred. They should be stripped of all public funding, if not shut down altogether.
“Temple University stands by Marc Lamont Hill after CNN fires him for anti-Israel remarks,” by Brian Flood and Samuel Chamberlain, Fox News, November 29, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
At least one person is somehow too polarizing for cable news, but apparently just fine for academia.
Story continues below advertisementTemple University stood by Marc Lamont Hill on Thursday, the same day he was fired from CNN after he gave a speech at the United Nations in which he used language critics described as a dog whistle advocating the elimination of Israel.
Hill, a now-former CNN commentator, is also a professor of media studies and urban education at Temple University in Philadelphia. While the school doesn’t necessarily agree with Hill’s controversial rhetoric, it feels he has the right to speak freely.
“Marc Lamont Hill has been quoted extensively over the last 24 hours. Marc Lamont Hill does not represent Temple University and his views are his own. However, we acknowledge that he has a constitutionally protected right to express his opinion as a private citizen,” a Temple spokesperson told Fox News.
Hill had come under criticism for his remarks during a Wednesday meeting of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People in observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. He accused the Israeli government of “normalizing settler colonialism” and called for a “free Palestine from the river to the sea,” a remark that got applause from participating diplomats.
At one point, Hill poured himself some water and told participants that he just got off a flight from “Palestine” and that “I was boycotting the Israeli water so I was unable to quench my thirst.”
“If we are standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people, we must recognize the right of an occupied people to defend itself,” Hill said during a portion of his speech comparing the Palestinian movement with the American civil-rights movement. “We must prioritize peace, but we must not romanticize or fetishize it.”
On Thursday morning, Hill attempted to defend his remarks on Twitter. He wrote: “In my speech, I talked about the need to return to the pre-1967 borders, to give full rights to Palestinian citizens of Israel, and to allow right of return. No part of this is a call to destroy Israel. It’s absurd on its face.”
Still, critics noted that the phrase “from the river to the sea” is used regularly by numerous anti-Israel groups, including the terror group Hamas. Hill responded by claiming that the phrase “precedes Hamas by more than 50 years” and “has a variety of meanings.”…

Temple standing behind this racist is to be expected. Temple University has long been a hotbed of racism and bigotry.

University faculties are composed of two kinds of people: 1) Immigrants and dark-skinned people who hate America because it’s white, it’s founders are white, and it’s successful and prosperous because it’s white, and: 2) White liberals who are too cowed and cowardly to say boo to anything immigrants and dark-skinned people say, claim or demand regarding everything from cradle-to-grave reparations for seven billion people to who is going to clean the coffee pot.
Same as the media.

It is up to the alumni to express their concerns and to withhold contributions. If they don’t, then they agree with the Temple administration.

Your comment is about as stupid as one could wish not to read. In short, you are a mental midge and imbecile. Your logic was long beyond bothering to question.

As patriots and conservatives we must watch where our dollars go. Hit them where it hurts, the wallet. Start removing funding, maybe the Chinese or Russians will help them, because all we get from them is commies.

Marc Lamont Hill was only an independent contractor for CNN (called on when needed). But at Temple, Hill is a full professor, meaning he has tenure, meaning he cannot be disciplined over this.

A match made in hell, this piece of self propelled human garbage, Marc Lamont Hill, spewing slimy Jew hatred and genocide at a moral sewer of a so-called institution of higher learning. Perfect. Temple sounds a lot like the Ministry of Truth, which dealt in lies in Orwell’s 1984.

If anyone seriously thinks that Marc Lamont Hill was not calling for the genocide of Israel’s Jews, that person should contact me. I have the Brooklyn Bridge to sell that individual. As for Hill, who it turns out has been a big fan of arch anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, he is unfit to teach at any university. Temple should immediately fire him, and tell him not to slam the door on his way out.

Lies. This is literally coming only from Fox News. In reality, Temple’s President sent an email to the entire Temple community condemning Hill’s anti-Semitic language, and the Chairman of the Board completely denounced Hill. Sincerely, a Temple Student.

He looks like the GREEDY Floyd Mayweather. I hope he gets his ass KICKED when he takes on Tenshin Nakusawa.

Thought about it. Think it was planned. Marc wanted to see if sea to river would get him fired from CNN THEN he can sue them and make millions. He knew the school wouldn’t fire him, but he knew the Jews would get him kicked off CNN. Bring the flat bed truck. Time to load it up with pallets of cash!

Another of the many U.S. colleges embracing islam and Sharia law. Bought and paid for with Saudi money.
The Muslim Student Association is a terrorist group using political islam(nonviolent influence) to indoctrinate easily swayed snowflake students in our very receptive leftwing Universities.
All part of Washington’s Jihad Lottery it forces us to play.

Temple University is one of many that supports those who promote hate in the United States. It is a prime example of why many with college degrees are not even qualified to polish shoes! Billions of dollars wasted on college loans for students being taught nothing but hate and ignorance!

obama went to VISIT G.H.W. Bush on TUESDAY!
Three days later — Bush DIES!!!
The successor to 41’s shameful, disgraced, failure SON, 43!
The BLACK PRESIDENT!!!
All we ever hear about is about how awful white people are to the poor, pitiful blacks.
(Who we’ve given everything to and provided more opportunity and prosperity to more of them than anywhere, anytime on Earth. Certainly vastly better than any conditions they could expect living among their own brutal, primitive race.)
Take a look at the damage the blacks do to us — when we’re forced together by an evil ideological machine.
We would be OK, left to our own devices, against them.
But if we’re forced by the severe propaganda of the immigrant-infested media and ludicrous hard Left education indoctrination system to support them and save them — we’re doomed.
See the picture of the emissary of Satan, obama, as president, placing the highest honor around G.H.W. Bush’s neck, like an apparition of Jihadi John standing behind the helpless kneeling blindfolded sacrifice to mohamet.

However, now evident, much of American society has gone as insane as the Muslim world and Nazis. Now it aligns itself with those disgusting excuses for human beings. Any body that does not regard Marc Hill a revolting and ignorant man has mental issues. Evident is that this excuse for a university couldn’t care less that Hill will continue to misguide and indoctrinate young students with his vile ideology. America is rotting from within and too few recognize this reality.

We need to remove all government funding and grants to all universities. In addition the government needs to stop guaranteeing student loans. Let the banks assume the risk of the loans so that they have some sway over tuition costs. These tuition costs have skyrocketed because the government guarantees the loans and the universities charge whatever they can get away with. If the universities want government funding then their staff and curriculum should be reviewed by local civilian boards that ensure that free speech is maintained on campus and prosecutes any organization or individual that promotes hate speech.
