At least 300 students have been prohibited from registering for classes at Northwestern University because they refused to watch a controversial antisemitism training video that they said was biased in favor of Israel, contained factual inaccuracies and could inflame campus tension over Gaza.
The Northwestern metal gate banner reminds me too much of Arbeit macht frei.
These elite university administrations need to do some soul-searching & reassess why they exist when they cave to Glorious Leader without a fight while even soulless corporations like Disney will defy him.
It’s possible the gate at NW predates the gate at Aushwitz(?) by several decades. That style was popular among colleges and universities all over the US during the latter part of the 1800s. Transylvania University, where I went, had a similar gate, though I don’t remember what it was the entrance to, maybe the baseball complex?
Never made the connection to that other gate till just now.
It looks innocent & that wouldn’t surprise me: my mind just freely associated without actual significance something to ridicule.
