>This Generation will Remember This as a Huge Moral Crime…
Anons, this broad is very useful in waking people up, particularly females. I know several formerly sleeping normies who find Bari credible because of her willingness to challenge the fake news narrative while also checking all of the progressive identity politics boxes. People shut down, if presented with the same information that she presents but coming from some conservative personality.

Why is she trending?
Weiss and a panel of likeminded colleagues announced that they planned to open their own university to tackle America’s “broken” higher education system.
The school will be called the University of Austin.
“We got sick of complaining about how broken higher education is,” the former NYT opinion writer posted on Twitter. “So we decided to do something about it. Announcing a new university dedicated to the fearless pursuit of truth: @uaustinorg.”
St. John’s College president Pano Kanelos posted a more in-depth explanataion for why the panel feel the university is necessary on Substack.
“Nearly a quarter of American academics in the social sciences or humanities endorse ousting a colleague for having a wrong opinion about hot-button issues such as immigration or gender differences," the message begins.
"Over a third of conservative academics and PhD students say they had been threatened with disciplinary action for their views. Four out of five American PhD students are willing to discriminate against right-leaning scholars, according to a report by the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology,” Kanelos wrote.
“The picture among undergraduates is even bleaker. In Heterodox Academy’s 2020 Campus Expression Survey, 62% of sampled college students agreed that the climate on their campus prevented students from saying things they believe."
"Nearly 70% of students favor reporting professors if the professor says something students find offensive, according to a Challey Institute for Global Innovation survey. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education reports at least 491 disinvitation campaigns since 2000. Roughly half were successful.”
Weiss, among other scholars, believe American college campuses are not designed to purvey truth.
