CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 3, 2023
WANT TO HEAR A REALY CRAZY IDEA? I KNOW, THERE ARE MANY, BUT THIS ONE IS REALLY GOOD (OR BAD). COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS JOINED SOME OTHER INSTITUTIONS OF WHAT USED TO BE CALLED PLACES OF “HIGHER LEARNING” AND WILL OFFER SEPARATE GRADUATION CEREMONIES FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR, GENDER ORIENTATION AND LGBTQ-PLUS.
WHEN SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS SOUGHT TO SEPARATE PEOPLE ACCORDING TO RACE IT WAS CALLED “JIM CROW” LAWS. NOW THESE LIBERAL UNIVERSITIES ARE DOING IT AND THE LEFT APPARENTLY APPROVES.
HOW DOES THIS POLICY, ALONG WITH THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT ABOUT MAKING A LIVING AND MAKING A GOOD CITIZEN, ACCRUE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE COUNTRY AND THE GENERAL WELFARE. THERE IS NO GENERAL WELFARE IF EVERYONE IS OUT FOR HIS OR HER OWN WELFARE.
IN MY DAILY BIBLE READING I AM CURRENTLY IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES. REPEATED MORE THAN ONCE IS THIS VERSE: “IN THOSE DAYS ISRAEL HAD NO KING; EVERYONE DID WHAT SEEMED RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES.”
PAUL SAYS MUCH THE SAME THING: “IN THE END PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE WHATEVER THEIR ITCHING EARS WANT TO HEAR.”
INCREASINGLY, COLLEGE DEGREES DON’T MEAN WHAT THEY USED TO. SEPARATING GRADUATES ADDS TO THAT PERCEPTION. I’M CAL THOMAS.
