Based on a brief review of the available “literature,” UNH Professor Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is brilliant. She’s so smart that she likely falls into the category of intellectuals who are actually stupid.
Her campus-culture echo chamber existence would be amusing if not, in fact, tragic. She comes off as another self-hating progressive Jew trapped in the contradictions of the social justice paradigm. Take colonialism. She opposes it, and it appears to be at the center of the recent scandal – if you can call Israel-hating White-Tower Liberals publishing what everyone they know thinks in public, outrageous.
The IDF is entering Gaza to kill entire families. It’s ethnic cleansing. But nothing about Hamas entering Israel to wipe out unarmed Jewish families is that. Jihadis who have sworn to erase a nation and the people in it is a justified response to oppression. I’m not sure how that comports with the social justice horror of Europeans “wiping out” the indigenous ancestors of Asian migrants to make room for UNH, but it sounds similar to me.
Prescod-Weinstein (who only appears to donate to Democrats) worked at MIT and is tenured at the University of New Hampshire ($92,660.00/year in 2022), which has colonized some unknown number of acres across the State, robbed from whatever indigenous people lived on it before white Europeans came along. Should we expect the oppressed natives to sneak off the reservation to kill, rape, and behead some folks with Professor Chanda Prescod-Weinstein’s approval?
I think she should be demanding UNH fire everyone and give back the land. From Durham, New Hampshire, to the Sea!
UNH also greedily spends public money it did not earn, whining whenever someone suggests more of it stays in the hands of those who worked to earn it. Some of them are Jews whose family or friends were ethnically cleansed on October 7th and deserved it, depending on who you ask.
UNH also does nothing to prevent students who are paying out-of-state tuition from colonizing local ballot boxes with votes that could directly impact the university’s public funding. I feel certain Chandra is not just okay with that but would call it protecting the student vote when all she’s protecting is her liberal interests. Even a UNH student can mail an absentee ballot to the address outside New Hampshire where the college sends the tuition bill, but asking them to do that is voter suppression. But it’s not.
And yes, some have expressed outrage at Chandra’s remarks in the wake of the Hamas attacks on October 7th. State Senator Dan Innis, also employed by UNH, was outraged at her and UNH. State Senator Jeb Bradley has said that the State’s upper chamber wants to take another look at the 100 million taxpayers pony up to UNH in the wake of comments by liberal professors being who they are.
The administration might blink at that, but Innis and Bradley are white men, so Chandra – who is also a professor of women’s studies but likely can’t tell you what a woman is – might label this as another form of systemic oppression. As if robbing people under the color of law – regardless of any demographic identifiers – to pay her to hate them for it is some sort of justice.
Sorry, maybe hate is too strong a word, but I think you get my point.
