Terrorism U.: Gov. Cuomo Supports Terrorists Angela Davis, Oscar Rivera, Antifa on Campus
Written by William F. Jasper
Among the many visiting “scholars” supposedly showering wisdom upon inquiring, young minds at our colleges and universities these days are unrepentant communists/terrorists Angela Davis and Oscar Lopez Rivera.
Angela Davis (shown) is to be the honored guest and featured speaker at New York University’s Skirball Talks, on November 5, where she will address the topic of “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter.” For those New York students and activists who just can’t wait for Comrade Angela, there’s Comrade Oscar Lopez Rivera, who will be appearing nearby on Long Island, at Hofsta University’s Center for Civic Engagement. He will be discussing "The Myth of a Freely Chosen Status: Puerto Rico's Future in the Wake of 'PROMESA' and Hurricane Maria."
The NYU Skirball promo for Davis asks, “What are the different tools for combating racism today, after Obama’s presidency and the backlash of the Trump regime? What do the tools of struggle and emancipation look like, and do aesthetics play a role?” The answer: “Please join us as activist, scholar and writer Angela Davis discusses politics & aesthetics in the era of Black Lives Matter.”
“Through her activism and scholarship over many decades, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in movements for social justice around the world,” says the NYU website. “Her work as an educator — both at the university level and in the larger public sphere — has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic, racial, and gender justice.”
The Skirball promotional continues with her academic credentials, providing an eye-opening view into just how pervasive deeply entrenched is the subversion in academia. It glowingly reports: “Professor Davis’ teaching career has taken her to San Francisco State University, Mills College, and UC Berkeley. She also has taught at UCLA, Vassar, Syracuse University the Claremont Colleges, and Stanford University. Most recently she spent fifteen years at the University of California Santa Cruz where she is now Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness — an interdisciplinary Ph.D program — and of Feminist Studies.” And, of course, she is a highly sought speaker on many other campuses.
According to the Skirball admen, Davis “draws upon her own experiences in the early seventies as a person who spent eighteen months in jail and on trial, after being placed on the FBI’s ‘Ten Most Wanted List.’ She also has conducted extensive research on numerous issues related to race, gender and imprisonment…. Internationally, she is affiliated with Sisters Inside, an abolitionist organization based in Queensland, Australia that works in solidarity with women in prison.”
Not mentioned in Davis’s Skirball vita are some pertinent facts, such as:
• She is an alum of the Little Red Schoolhouse (preK-12), the notorious institution founded a century ago (1921) by lesbian revolutionist Elizabeth Irwin as a nursery school for communists and “progressives.” Some of its other famous alums include Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army terrorist/murderess/robber Kathy Boudin (now a professor at New York’s Columbia University); publisher emeritus of the far-left magazine The Nation Victor Navasky (also a professor at Columbia); and the increasingly unhinged, aging Hollywood icon Robert De Niro.
