Douglas Murray slams 'moral rot' in US universities as they refuse to condemn anti-Semitism

Author Douglas Murray has slammed American universities as “less moral than AI” after several college presidents refused to label calls for the genocide of Jews as harassment before the US Congress.

Mr Murray described the situation as the result of “decades of moral rot in universities”.

“These people were talking like ChatGPT – they were just rolling out this answer. And as it happened, I actually asked the same questions these leaders of major universities in America were asked,” Mr Murray told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi.

“I asked the same question to ChatGPT and ChatGPT got it right – so actually calling for genocide is regarded as being unacceptable.

“Here’s the interesting thing, we’ve got to such a stage in our universities that the people who lead the universities in America are actually less moral than AI.”

These presidents are morally bankrupt.

The smile, the smirk, on Magill’s face is infuriating. 😡

And so, the very institution who told students they were entitled to “safe spaces” when hearing simple oppositional speech, refuse to provide safety to student whose very lives are threatened. 😡

Whether you think Israel is right or wrong in their current actions. Calling for genocide is disgusting and outrageous.

The fact that the U Penn president was able to resign and not straight up fired speaks volumes.

professors and university presidents refusing to call hate hate, is terrifying and it should terrify us all‼️ imagine the doctors, judges, law enforcement, co-workers, neighbors, etc. that thinks like she does too. it's one group they're discriminating against today, but any of us could be next. this has to end. the hate seriously has to end!

This is why a lot of students won't condemn the massacre that Hamas committed and are blindly supporting Palestine.

Thank you for having voices of common sense and reason Douglas and Rita 🙏

The point Douglas brought up about AI being more moral for humanity than these Uni Presidents, is truthful and disturbing.
