education down the tubes

Bruce Robbins is a supporter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at Columbia University (Columbia) and promotes the group’s anti-Israel campus initiatives on social media.

So his bias is no surprise

Fareed Zakaria is one of my Sunday morning 'companions' while on the treadmill. Robbins was on his show just last Sunday, along with Bret Stephens, a columnist for the New York Times. It was a good back and forth, at first, but I started wondering about where Robbins was coming from, he appeared to stray further and further from being totally objective. I didn't take the time to look him up, but this certainly solidifies my take on him.

For anyone interested...
