Cornell Dean Says ISIS “Freedom Fighters” Would Be Welcome On Campus…
Welcome to the Ivy League. This professor will be a new idol for America's left, especially in academia. He probably wants them to demonstrate how they throw gay people to their death and how to properly burn a person. Just demonstrates yet again how blind the left is to Islamic terrorism.
Quote:This guy is either the dumbest Ivy League bigwig ever or politically correct to a fault — for welcoming offers to bring ISIS and Hamas to Cornell University.
A video sting operation shows Cornell’s assistant dean for students, Joseph Scaffido, agreeing to everything suggested by an undercover muckraker posing as a Moroccan student.
Scaffido casually endorses inviting an ISIS “freedom fighter’’ to conduct a “training camp” for students at the upstate Ithaca campus — bizarrely likening the activity to a sports camp.
Is it OK to bring a humanitarian pro-“Islamic State Iraq and Syria” group on campus, the undercover for conservative activist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas asks.
Sure, Scaffido says in the recorded March 16 meeting.
Scaffido doesn’t even blink an eye when the undercover asks about providing material support for terrorists — “care packages, whether it be food, water, electronics.”
How about supporting Hamas?
No problem at all, Scaffido said.
“The university is not going to look at different groups and say, ‘You’re not allowed to support that group because we don’t believe them’ or something like that. I think it’s just the opposite. I think the university wants the entire community to understand what’s going on in all parts of the world,” Scaffido said.
The undercover asked if he can invite “a freedom fighter to come and do like a training camp for students.”
Scaffido responds, “You would be allowed to do something like that. It’s just like bringing in a coach, to do a training, a sports trainer or something,” the Cornell official said.

ISIS was created by the GOP, and in their image and likeness, and people on this board complain that the IVY is liberal and not open to the religious right GOP. So what exactly is the issue?

The ISIS bit is silly IMO and smells of gotcha reporting. The term ISIS is used primarily and you hardly hear "Islamic State Iraq and Syria", which he keeps using over and over again. If the guy said an "ISIS Freedom Fighter", then I'm sure his response would be different.
I hope.

ISIS did not start thriving until Obama telegraphed our exit and *SUPPORTED* rebels in Syria.

Do you have anything to say which addresses a left wing Ivy League institution that wants to provide material support for ISIS?
You might say "the gop did this" and "Isis looks like that" but at the end of day it's the left wing that put equivocations out there for these monsters.

Most of the GOP would like to nuke them back to the 7th century. The Dems have no problems with ISIS butchering children.
