'Can You Explain Why The Word Folks Is Spelled Folx?': Jim Banks Grills Columbia Pres Over Terms 

By design, they've allowed the ultra leftists to run the asylum.

She is such a liar

BINGO 🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

So you're only for free speech when it applies to you ......got it

Exactly what I was thinking. The President of Columbia University is actually afraid of the STUDENT PROTESTERS. She's a liar and a coward.

BECAUSE the taxpayers are funding the students to go and be indoctrinated by the terrorists. STOP the student loan program, tell students to get a loan from a bank.

They are the toilet.

@@rustybeachwood4613 This is the democrats indoctrination planned for fifty years that has come to fruition .. Biden let this happened because he doesn't want to lose michigan..

How so?

They were created that way.

I don't think she's playing

A key give away is the repeating of a rehearsed answer instead of natural dialog. She knows the correct answer, but she won't say it. It's also evident when people refuse to answer the question and instead fall back on the point they want to make.

And it’s not working at all lol

Well she is respecting the student freedom of speech. Given the history of US and Israel I think the people have had enough. We the people want to mind our own business, and quit financially supporting foreign powers when we have issues at home.

She Is Playing DEM On Him This Is The Way DEMS Answer Everything They Beat Around The Bush Until The timer Runs Out And Then Smile Because They Have Done The DEM THING And NOT ANSWERED ONE QUESTION ASKED THEM !!

Well clowns are usually hired to entertain kids so

IF IT'S NOT ILLEGAL, THERE IS NOTHING THE SCHOOL CAN DO. WHY IS THIS A MYSTERY?

They don't

Except of course when students say something conservative or anti-woke.

Yes, and thats how it is in most places. Universities are not meant to run like communist organizations where students are suppressed by faculty.

Poison Ivy now days.

Entitled.

50 years of indoctrination from a professor that said the 7th was AWESOME AND IS STILL WORKING THERE???!! NO EXCUSES FOR NOT FIRING THAT HATER!

I hope companies start denying grads with Ivy League degrees. That’s the best thing to do. Make their education or lack there of completely useless. If you run a private business you can hire anyone you please. I just won’t hire anyone from them schools if I run the show, no problem.

@@artandarchitecture6399 So you would be just fine with students handing out KKK or N@zi 'guides' to new students then? Yes? No?

I imagine that KKK recruiting flyers might be prohibited, but according to these genius college representatives, maybe not.

The way she pretends like the school doesn’t control everything that is done during orientation is extremely dishonest.

Allowing this 'information' to be handed put to students by the university, then it should have been reviewed by the faculty. Not doing so is undermining their education system.

@@artandarchitecture6399 it’s not just free speech when it’s solicited to all students during an official university orientation. The implication for the students is that it is an official document from the university unless otherwise stated. Also, the university is public, but the orientation is private attendance for students and families of students to attend. It’s just a shitty disingenuous and manipulative practice, not simply free speech. Students operating like that are hiding under the guise of official proceedings to legitimize their positions among the freshman. It’s a tactic used by people who can’t stand on their arguments without grifting people to believe them. If the ideas are rational and backed by solid nuanced research, they wouldn’t need to do shit like this to convince people.

Why is it always women we see doing this?

No,.you're the cancel culture we've been fighting against.

AMEN

Shame on her ..everything she dont know or denial

THE DONORS MUST....fire her..

It isn't about hiring or firing. It's the uni protocols who have failed. Either campus events/ publications need venting and aproval or they don't. If they don't than college isn't responsible for events or publications and thus can't be liable. Mind u that events/ publication venting fall under censorship vs freedom of speach on college permisses. Plus, how private vs public is a university?

​@@joaquimrodrigues3869donnors might agree with these events/ publications.

@@BabyMonkeyDefender that's so sweet 😊

It's very clearly a cutesy way to make the pamphlet seem more approachable. Not her fault, or anyone's that they're too old to understand that.

You left out LGBT.

How could you be educated in America without learning about the First Amendment?

@@norman_5623how could you?? If it’s freedom of speech then they should be able to say the same thing about ANY other group .. and you definitely wouldn’t be for that

@@mimiruss8444 You should learn to not make assumptions without any facts to back them up. I used to work in law firms. Some of the attorneys I worked for argued cases before the Supreme Court. They taught me that the US Constitution protected all speech, including speech we disagreed with, such as the Nazis marching in Skokie -- or the Zionists arguing for the illegal occupation of Israel. And in college we read John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, which is the classic argument for free speech; look it up.

@@norman_5623 I don’t know who you think you’re talking to or what you think I said. I’m all for free speech, but if they can call for the 💀 of the Jews, why can’t someone call for the 💀 of the LGBTQ’s? What is the difference? Why is one form of speech protected and the other not that was my point

Biden NEEDS THEM LIKE BLM

​@theevermind ......so are you against free speech or just the speech you don't like ? ...... asking for a friend

They have no shame. They have no humility

@Blitz9H you got that right! BIDEN WOULDN'T EVEN ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AFTER HE OPENED UP HIS LITTLE MUMBLING SPEECH SAYING HE WOULD! HE DIDNT ANSWER SHOUTED QUESTIONS HE JUST WALKED AWAY TURNING HIS BACK ON ISRAEL BECAUSE HE LOVES HIMSELF AND IS LETTING THIS FESTER BECAUSE OF MICHIGAN! 😡 😤

It’s not handed out by the school, did you hear what she said? It’s handed out by students to other students. It sounds like the college had no idea this was circulating.

@@samdajellybeenie14 He said it was handed out during orientation. So, are you saying, during an official orientation presented by the school, other people, are interrupting the process to hand out student prepared material?

@@kenangerstein3561 It was handed out by other students unofficially during orientation, but may not be part of the formal orientation program of the university.

@@aravindyadav8225 understand

@@aravindyadav8225 So if a KKK member handed out anti Black propaganda and the school found out later, don't you think the administration would quickly prohibit anymore handouts and expel the distributers of such hatred? But since it is directed towards Jews, its just..."Oh well, we know nothing"......

Maybe those students are trying to mask that the word "folks" is an English translation of the German word "volks" and that the Nazis were very outspoken about the idea of "Volksgemeinschaft". "Volksgemeinschaft, in Nazi Germany, a racially unified and hierarchically organized body in which the interests of individuals would be strictly subordinate to those of the nation, or Volk." From the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Radical socialist don't want to be associate with the Nazis even though they tend to believe in the same racially charged ideals. Whoopi Goldberg tried to do the same thing when she said the Holocaust wasn't about race. Of course, she'd say that. The ideology of The View is all about race and she supports it. She's trying to separate the race ideology of the Nazis and her own racially charged beliefs. Word manipulation has always been a major tool in the radical socialist armoury. It's how they control thought.

​@@JackHaveman52these students are not smart enough to know this

@@tbone9474 Unfortunately, that's true. An indication of the blight that is our educational system, these days.

Because it does the country a lot of good to see how fake our so-called "elites" really are.

PRETENDING to be clueless

Why is she testifying should have been the end of the sentence. This is fake outrage for our masters. Literally no jewish students are in danger at Columbia.

She's a lier

Yep USC. UCLA. UC Santa Barbara, all have excellent reputations.

I would add to that advice that ANY university or college that espouses the DEI lie should be avoided. They will brainwash your kids to become racists and hate our country. Learning a skill like mechanics, carpenter, electrician, plumbing, etc, is a great alternative. Those jobs are paying very well.

How do loans go into pockets? What are you are whining about now, Trump fluffer?

@@themaestro3034 lol, did you fluff for big Mike?

Columbia is a private university, not public. So tax dollars are not funding it.

Columbia is private my good friend.

@@portostrengthunion Calling Columbia "private" is just a ruse. The financial aid they offer comes from the federal government. Most of their grant money comes from the federal government. I'll edit my original comment to clarify this fact for the naive.

Financial Aid is given to students, not directly to the university. Those who qualify can choose where they go to school. Grant money has to submitted for. Big Corporations get vastly larger sums of money. Your point is kind of muddled.

@@portostrengthunion Doesn't matter. Columbia still BENIFITS from financial aid and grant money because they don't have to open their own coffers for this purpose.

Like BRIBEM

Unfortunately this IS the real world now.

@@mogznwaz2A and fix.

No, not weak supervision. This is deliberate. They delegate the heinous acts to students so their hands can stay 'clean.' They know what they are doing.

I thought her misspelling comment was funny in that the congressman seemed to deceptively want some answer he already knew and she gave him her best guess which he didn't expect.

@@zenalotz I'm amazed no one took the bait of the other question.... Answer - Hollywood.

How did you get through the education system without learning about the First Amendment?

She is the opposite of the other heads of university that were fired. She believes in allowing people to voice unpopular opinions. That’s called free speech, and is unfortunately becoming a bad thing in colleges. The other university leaders tried to suppress free speech. That’s a big mistake. Free speech has to allow people to voice offensive points of view.

We already have way too much regulating of free speech at universities. People love to complain when they don’t like the opinion, but it is all protected free speech… which includes “hate speech”.

I bet if it was a pro Trump piece of literature, the university wouldn’t allow it’s distribution.

I didn't see where that was stated.

Nowhere was it sanctioned. You have no way of knowing anything.

Not only would banning this be a negative impact to the school's incoming student base, it would be an overstep concerning the student's right to expression. When I attended university, vegans passed out pamphlets with animals inside to people that were eating meat. They had little descriptions of their daily lives and how they were brutalized by the meat industry. I'm not a vegan, and I love meat, so I fucking ignored them and threw the pamphlets away. I will not let the same people speaking out about "the nanny state" try to ban pamphlets because they don't like the contents. Fuck that, the students can make their own decisions about what is and isn't acceptable, they are grown adults. They don't need you to protect them from nonexistent threats.

@@UpsideroundIt is sanctioned because it is condoned. QED. They hand it out at orientation. AT orientation, en masse, de facto officially. Not later on campus like a normal tract. And their own website echoes that stuff, including the coded spelling of "folx."

Free speech means allowing people to speak words that you disagree with

They said they didn't have anything to do with it. Hold them accountable for every piece of paper a student hands out? You are pathetic

Intelligence operation

​@@kenv9191except when that free speech is hate speech funded by government money.

@@theoneafterthelast Taxpayers might help fund the school, but not the speech. Regardless, the constitution protects all free speech from government interference, including “hate speech.”

Yes, ​@@norman_5623. And some free speech should come with repercussions, the same as if the students put out anti-black propaganda. This isn't a free speech issue you dense potato.

​@@norman_5623But, would that document be acceptable on campus if it was against black people?

​@@theoneafterthelastThat actually is protected speech. In order for speech to be illegal, it must cause imminent danger. Maybe you are the one whose dense? And there is nothing racist about that definition. It's merely trying to educate students that not all jewish people are white. Not all Hindus are Indian. Not all Muslims are Arab. Are these racist statements? Go touch grass.

Exactly

I didn't know that about the word "folks" but always assumed it was all inclusive. Never any issue. These people complaining or using made up words just want to feel special, not included. You're spot on!

This is completely stupid. "Z" and "X" are commonly used, especially with young people, as in "rulz" or "tix." Written by students to other students, it is their slang, and more likely to be received by them as coming from their peers.

@@sherrillsturm7240no, it’s not exclusively used by young people. It’s common in “progressive” circles. Spelled that way by adult people who don’t use cute, teenage ways of spelling in other instances. Why even use the word ‘folks’ anyway (let alone ‘folx’)? Is ‘people’ problematic somehow?

She's a woke liberal, so of course she's both.

@@alexandersupertramp7353 She talks like a politician. That's all the proof u need. OH! and the fact she did nothing after the faculty informed her of it...which they said if you were paying attention.

Even though I know it is insane, a newborn child has the same full rights of free speech as someone who is 18. It's in our constitution, and is a right guaranteed to all people living here in the United States.

I hope not. Free speech shouldn’t have disciplinary consequences at a college.

​@@UGAPhoenixApparently not because they can be aborted!! Go figure!😮

When young people have not been brought up with moral values, they are more inclined to accept negative, often vile, language and platforms, which in our history leads to violence.

Hearings like this one bring despicable things out into the light of day that otherwise would be cloaked in darkness on campuses and allowed to fester in the hearts and minds of students until that darkness erupted in the overt acts you are seeing in society now. American citizens need to know what our money (both taxes and tuition) is being spent in support of in our colleges and universities, whether public or private. We also need to know what subversion of various types is being taught in our elementary and secondary educational institutions as well.
