Red states meet such challenges with strength, as seen in the cases of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and UT-Austin\u2019s President Jay Hartzell.<\/p>\n<p>Blue states take quite the opposite approach. They\u2019ve taught young people to disrespect the rule of law by ensuring there are zero consequences, so now the young militants are running roughshod over Columbia University, New York University and Yale University, among many others.<\/p>\n<p>The difference simply is the location in which these students are protesting, as formal education seems to have cultivated current generations nourished on left-leaning ideology designed to destroy the fabric of our nation and any hopeful future that we could have. We are, in essence, eating ourselves from the inside out by design.<\/p>\n<p>In Austin, Hartzell refused to capitulate to the unraveling in the form of anti-Semitic protests disrupting the safety, purpose and operations of the university. In a lengthy statement following the assemblage of Texas law enforcement onto the campus, Hartzell addressed the community. His statement, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/ut-austin-president-defends-shutting-down-anti-israel-protests-our-rules-matter-enforced\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>,\u00a0 said, \u201cToday, our University held firm, enforcing our rules while protecting the Constitutional right to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/project-veritas-strips-cnn-naked\/\" title=\"Project Veritas Strips CNN Naked\">free speech<\/a>. Peaceful protests within our rules are acceptable. Breaking our rules and policies and disrupting others\u2019 ability to learn are not allowed. The group that led this protest stated it was going to violate Institutional Rules. Our rules matter, and they will be enforced. Our University will not be occupied,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n<p>About 34 students had been arrested on the campus as of 9 p.m. Wednesday \u2014 this as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/columbia-anti-israel-agitators-triggered-mike-johnson-gop-lawmakers-show-encampment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">House Speaker Mike Johnson<\/a>, a Republican from Louisianna, arrived at Columbia University to speak rationale to students in condemning their anti-Semitic protests.

The demoralization and destabilization of our society isn\u2019t too far off from that which former KGB operative <a href=\"https:\/\/bigthink.com\/the-present\/yuri-bezmenov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yuri Bezmenov<\/a> explained in an interview with G.

He also noted that once deeply rooted, the state can\u2019t be reversed.
