Northwestern admits NU-Q operates under Qatari law, enforcing nondisparagement clauses that restrict journalism, research, and U.S. civil rights protections. These provisions chill academic freedom at the flagship Evanston, Illinois campus, limiting seminars, speakers, and even course design, since testing or acknowledging the restrictions is off-limits. Wirepoints’ Mark Glennon on AM560: Why We Need to “Relentlessly” Make the Blue State-Red State Case

Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
😮 We see NU with billions in escrow is willing to ignore the Bill of Rights to bow to Q, Muslim country, just to get their $$!
Is America doomed? I am Charlie Kirk, Harper College’s greatest alumni!
Maybe NW should go after fund from someone else. Quit being pro Muslim and anti semitic. Students should not be forced to take Qatar sanctioned seminars.
I’m surprised to see this coming to light so many years AFTER Northwestern bent the knee to Qatar. Compliance with “nondisparargment law” goes back 15 or 20 years.
