This is a special edition of Doorstep Postings, the periodic political commentary column written by Josh Lieblein for The CJN.

Tired of hearing columnists whine about out-of-control wokeness on college campuses? Join the club, so am I! They’re almost as bad, if not worse, than the columnists decrying right-wing extremism, which is somehow always reaching new heights.

We must respect Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian Canadians, in legislature and in our communities.

When a keffiyeh is worn by a politician who questions the veracity of Hamas atrocities on Oct 7, though, or at rallies calling for death to Jews, sadly it’s a political prop.#onpoli

Most of the loud and annoying campus activists I attended university with two decades ago have calmed down and moved on to live normal lives. Some never mellowed out and went on to become members of the professional activist class—where you make varying degrees of money by complaining about problems instead of solving them, and manipulating people into doing things.

Still fewer became actual elected officials, which is where you do the exact same thing as the professional activists, except you make a lot more money, befriend a lot more lobbyists, and join boards when you finally lose, quit, or are hounded out due to too-obvious corruption.

On these boards, you use your relationships that you’ve cultivated over the decades with your former elected-official pals and wear open-collared button-down shirts and dresses with sleeves instead of trendy hipsterwear.

And at every stage in this process, you become furious to the point of incapacity whenever someone is less than respectful to you.

(Some of these creeps never fully left campus, which puts them in a hazard class all their own.)

Here is the full Khymani James live-stream that includes his disciplinary meeting with Columbia University over making threatening social media posts.

I saved you all the first 30 minutes where he rants with a friend and started with the school meeting. pic.twitter.com/DfN6mKdlbm

Still other university loudmouths become the aforementioned........
