Nearly 3,000 academics, including 13 Nobel laureates, have signed a petition denouncing an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that bars people from seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the US.

Under the order, signed Friday, nationals of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen are prohibited from entering the US for at least 90 days, regardless of whether they have green cards or visas.

The order is discriminatory, according to the petition, whose signatories include former Nobel laureates such as past National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Harold Varmus, Linda Buck of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Andrew Fire of Stanford University, and well-known Harvard psychology professor Steven Pinker. Furthermore, it threatens to seriously damage the US’s status as a world leader in scientific research, which is built in large part on the labors of immigrants, the petitioners wrote.

So, they are top academics with no knowledge of American history?

They are the very epitome of ignorami (sic). They don't know and they don't WANT to know. Like all good Marxists, they are following the advice of Das Kapital to "create your own reality anew every moment" IOW, never stop trying to insert the misinformating, false, reality-opposed, mendacious version of history Marxists want people to believe for the real version.

Is ignorami a mental(definition up to you) form of origami, an art where the practitioner's mind folds in upon itself until it has closed out any dissenting, rational thought?

Just more evidence that this is a fantastic EO.

 Nicely stated!!

Academics are much closer to schizophrenics than to anything else - hyper-rationality makes people somewhat less than fully human, not more. The wild freedom of the forebrain is purchased at the cost of losing their moorings to instinct, emotion and reality generally. They regard healthy instincts like self-preservation and self-defense, loyalty to one's own people as foreign entities against which they must wage war.

It is to some extent reassuring that so many tens of millions of Americans seem inoculated to the attempts of the far left to establish scientists, academics and celebrities as a royal class, never to be questioned nor clearly understood, only admired /obeyed.

We are not British, who still pine and fawn over their "upper class" through whom we "lower classe" seek to live vicariously. There is only one class in the USA, the real class. Anyone who doesn't belong to it is a cacogen.  Anyone who does is a brother or sister!!
