For some of the young college students arrested after trespassing at Columbia University last week, it was not their first brush with the law.
One young woman from a $2.2 million home in suburban Atlanta had previously killed two senior citizens in Vermont when her pickup truck crossed over a double yellow line, crashing into the elderly couple’s smaller vehicle. They were killed instantly. Most of us would be in jail for such an incident. This young lady got off with a $220 traffic ticket because her father is a wealthy and politically connected CEO.
The activist students disrupting classes and shouting hateful rhetoric at Jewish students next to our homicidally negligent friend from Georgia are not like most of their fellow citizens. They are out-of-touch wealthy elites who seldom, if ever, are forced to pay for the consequences of their own actions.
Their priorities are not the priorities of most people. According to new polling from Harvard University, they aren’t even the priorities of most young people, most of whom are Democrats.
If someone goes online or to a college campus such as Columbia, one would think the most pressing issues for voters were the war in Gaza, climate change, and student debt. These drive far more activism on college campuses than anything else.
But according to the latest Harvard poll, out of 16 issues presented to respondents between the ages of 18 and 29, these three rank 12th (climate change), 15th (Israel/Palestine), and 16th (student debt).
