Rowan blamed Magill and Bok for the school\u2019s history of failing to denounce antisemitism, even after the horror committed by Hamas became known.<\/p>\n<p>Several mega-donors answered Rowan\u2019s call to action. David Magerman, a Venture Capital investor and major donor \u2063to Penn, said, \u201cI refuse to donate another dollar \u200cto \u200bPenn.\u201d The Wexner Foundation ended its financial and programmatic relationship with \u200bHarvard and the Harvard Kennedy School. Jon Huntsman, former governor of \u2063Utah and U.S. ambassador to China, notified Penn last Saturday\u200c that the \u201cuniversity\u2019s silence in \u200bthe face of reprehensible and historic Hamas evil against the\u2062 people of Israel \u2026 is a new low.

Kendi, who blew over $40 million in \u2064donations with nothing to show for \u2064it, \u2064are all \u201cChampagne Marxists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They have adopted\u2064 and preached the one-dimensional worldview first proclaimed by Karl Marx: that \u2064the world comprises oppressors and oppressed. The oppressed\u200b are entitled to launch armed revolutions to overthrow the oppressors in the old\u2063 world and establish a new world. Every conflict, every piece of history, and every single current event is judged or\u2062 presented through the lens of oppressors versus oppressed.<\/p>\n<p>These Champagne Marxists support Hamas because they see the terrorist organization as representing the \u201coppressed.\u201d Thus, any action the \u201coppressed\u201d takes, regardless of how outrageous \u2062and despicable, is justified. Champagne Marxists publicly denounce countries such as the United States and Israel because they see these nations as oppressors, the very embodiment of capitalism, colonialism, and racism.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the only thing\u200b these Champagne Marxists are \u2063good at is spewing horrible ideas from the comfort afforded to them due to America\u2019s political freedom and economic prosperity. They have no problem pursuing and enjoying the lifestyle of the capitalists and colonists they claim to\u2063 despise. These \u200dChampagne Marxists are hashtag warriors who will \u200conly\u200b stand \u200cwith the \u201coppressed\u201d on social media or from the safe space of college campuses. They \u2064won\u2019t last \u200dfive minutes \u2062on a real battlefield, and they know it. That is why a threat of withdrawing donations or not getting well-paying jobs on \u2064Wall Street is\u200d enough to cause\u200d some of them to panic and sing a different tune.<\/p>\n<p>Since last week, many Americans, including some on the\u2064 political left, have been so shocked by \u200bthe\u2063 reactions\u2062 from \u200dAmerica\u2019s best universities that they \u200bask how we \u2064can save our nation\u2019s higher education from its continuing moral decay \u200cand march to Marxism. \u2062Here are a few suggestions:\u200b We \u200dmust expose the danger of framing every issue through the \u2063\u201coppressor\u201d and the \u201coppressed\u201d Marxist worldview; restore\u2063 moral clarity on college campuses, recognizing \u200dthat some actions, such as raping women and beheading babies, are pure evil; \u2062and last but not least,\u200b since \u2064Champagne Marxists care more for the champagne than ideology, it is time to take away their champagne.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why \u200ddo Champagne \u200dMarxists refuse \u2063to condemn actual violence and \u2063terrorism, particularly by \u200bHamas terrorists?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Order.

They refuse to acknowledge the atrocities committed\u200d by Hamas terrorists, instead blaming Israel for the\u200c violence. They host vigils \u200cfor the terrorists and shame the victims.<\/p>\n<p>But their hypocrisy \u200dhas not gone unnoticed.
