- Being
a student used to be an uncomfortable experience, during which
the fantasies of adolescence were exposed to rational,
well-informed, and evidence-based argument. But the cults of
political correctness, unbounded gender definitions,
Islamophobia-obsession, and anti-Semitism, among other
afflictions, have undermined the educational process in the
USA and Europe.
- If
Travers has identified anti-Semitism and signs of
radicalization on campus, he has, not just the right, but the
duty to expose them to the public eye.

Robbie Travers, a third-year law student of 21, has
made a mark for himself in Scotland at the prestigious Edinburgh
University. Apart from his many other activities, Travers has
published articles on the Gatestone Institute site here, as well as
for other outlets. He has written on subjects such as anti-Semitism
in Europe, the "Fake News" censorship industry, Britain's
Labour Party as a haven for racists, shari'a councils, the assault
on free speech, and more. An outspoken young man, he has become one
of the best-known figures in the university. Although openly gay
and a supporter of a centrist, Tony Blair-ish position in politics,
he has frequently come into conflict with fellow students on the
radical left, with Muslim students, and with anyone who can be
upset by anything that smacks of a challenge to their complacent
politically correct sensitivities. He is not afraid to call out
radicals and expose them to criticism and factual information that
so many modern students (and lecturers) are loath to hear.
