The Wealthy Liberal Huntsman Family Closes Its Checkbook on the University of Pennsylvania, Citing Anti-Semitism
Update: Les Wexner Closes Checkbook to Harvard

Could this be the start of the long prayed-for rollback of the radical left?

John Huntsman was a liberal fake Republican who left the party to join the Obama Administration. His father pushed the hoax that Mitt Romney hadn't paid taxes in ten years -- he's the "source" for this lie, then pushed by Harry Reid.

So this is a family of leftwing c*cksuckers.

But even leftwing c*cksuckers are beginning to find the radical left too egregious to tolerate.

The Huntsman family halted donations to the University of Pennsylvania over its response to Hamas' terrorist attacks.

The family, which has donated tens of millions to Penn, is the latest to "close its checkbook."

Tensions have spilled over, as alumni and employers react to colleges' and students' response to the war.

The Huntsman family has halted donations to the University of Pennsylvania due to its response to Hamas' terrorist attacks on Israel and the resulting war. It's the latest indication of the growing friction between elite colleges and their rich alumni over the conflict.

Jon Huntsman Jr. -- the former governor of Utah and US ambassador to China, Russia, and Singapore -- penned a letter to Penn's president Elizabeth Magill, alerting her of the Huntsman Foundation's decision.

"The University's silence in the face of reprehensible and historic Hamas evil against the people of Israel (when the only response should be outright condemnation) is a new low. Silence is antisemitism, and antisemitism is hate, the very thing higher ed was built to obviate," he wrote in the letter, which was published by the student newspaper. "Consequently, Huntsman Foundation will close its checkbook on all future giving to Penn."

The Huntsman family, which includes three generations of Penn graduates, has donated tens of millions of dollars to the school over the past three decades, including a $10 million gift in 1997 and a $40 million gift to its business school, Wharton, in 1998. The family has donated at least $25,000 annually to Wharton in recent years.

The late Jon Huntsman Sr. attended Wharton on scholarship and went on to become the billionaire CEO of chemical giant Huntsman Corp. Huntsman Jr. has had two stints on Penn's board of trustees.

This rebuke of the left is, unfortunately, not due to, say, the college's support of censorship and bullying of college students, or embrace of radical gender theory, or single-minded commitment to indoctrinating cadres for the violent rebellion against their fellow US citizens.

That was just fine, according to the Huntsman family. It's about neocon/neoliberal support for Israel.

I don't mean that only neocons support Israel --conservatives do too. I just mean this break is not over freedom of speech, which neocons have been happy to limit and suppress in order to ingratiate themselves with their new allies on the hard left. The break is over one of the neocon agenda items that they've decided not to renounce to ingratiate themselves to the left.

So this isn't exactly a repudiation of the left. More of a warning to the left that they have to accommodate their treacherous new neocon allies.

Still, any break in the neocon-left alliance helps us, and any pushback against this poisonous anti-american, anti-human ideology helps us.

And if they can push out these pro-terrorist university bureaucrats -- great! Pretty sure that these people support the throttling of conservative speech. All leftists (including their neocon allies) do. So the cause of liberty is advanced inadvertently.

Update: Our spy at Democrat Underground reports:

Les Wexner pills funding from Harvard. Billionaire former Victoria's Secret CEO pulls funding from Harvard, accusing the school of 'dismal failure' to take a stand for Israel.

Is that really what he said? Or are the DUmmies changing his words?

I bet he said they were a "dismal failure" at taking a stand against murder and rape.

So I just looked it up: yes, I was right, he wants a stand against barbaric murder, not "for Israel."

The DUmmies like like leftists always lie.

BIG NEWS:

The Wexner Foundation announces that it is cutting ties with @Harvard
over "the dismal failure of Harvard's leadership to take a clear and unequivocal stand against the barbaric murders of innocent Israeli civilians by terrorists last Saturday."
