Mad, Rad and Dangerous to Knowledge, by Tony Thomas.
Green/Left groupthink at Monash University [in Melbourne] has reached the point where the brains trust thought it a good idea to woo prospective students with a collage of violent social-justice film clips presented against a soundtrack of violent rap lyrics. …
- A young Monash woman walks up (at 50secs) and defiantly rips down a lecture-theatre wall chart being discussed by three males, two in suits and one is balding. No reason can be ascertained for her wimmynly rage. The text says, “Our Clayton campus is committed to being a living example of positive change.”
- Someone shimmies around wearing a Donald Trump mask. The backing song goes, “Yeah the big bully killed ‘em all”. The video text blames “populism” for Trump’s election. (The video is supposed to advertise the university’s sophistication in international relations).
- Monash students demonstrate for “Grants not Fees” – other suckers can pay for students’ privileges. An Aboriginal and a shaved-head woman are to the fore.
- Aborigines demonstrate (at 40secs) to “Stop the Genocide” (what genocide?) and for treaty-backed sovereignty
- A polar bear plays hopscotch on ice floes, as proof of global warming’s veracity (even Monash might have checked that Al Gore’s polar bear peril was and remains a crock)
- Any of the violence-porn clips crammed into the 60 seconds – from the opening sucker punch by a masked “punch a nazi” hooligan, to injured or dead Arabs to explosions and an elephant crumpling when shot by poachers.
On taxpayer money, no less. A-Ok with the bureaucrats. Monash doubled down:
A Monash University spokesperson responded to on-line criticism (emphasis added),
“As an institution, we firmly believe in its message. This is us drawing a line in the sand about what we think a top university [Monash ranks equal 80th worldwide] has to contribute to the world. In 2016 we encouraged our community to challenge the status quo and question what is put in front of them in order to move forward. Now we want people to take action.”
