What a reprehensible thing to say. We can’t loathe Soros for his policies and the fact that those policies are getting people killed? And for what it’s worth, the anti-semitism I see today comes from your side of the aisle.
Jane Fried, the headmistress of Brearley, has responded to the anti-woke manifesto written by one of the parents. It is breathtaking in its lack of awareness and leaves zero room for discussion. Even says they will always “listen,” just not now. Shameful response.

2. Athletes (this is why it’s easy to find work as a squash or fencing coach in greenwich).

Wow. Pomona, perhaps following Vanderbilt’s lead, has occupying students arrested.
I have long said it would only take a couple of schools enforcing their own rules to set an example that would reverberate through academia.
Note: this is NOT about shutting down speech.
When Pomona College students (and possibly others) rushed into an administrative building last night, President Gabi Starr told them they had 10 minutes to leave.
Then she suspended them and had them arrested.

Complicating factor is the Section 230 statute from the 90s, whereby social platforms were granted immunity from lawsuits 4 stuff others posted. In exchange for immunity, they weren't allowed to be "publishers" themselves, which is to say, have an opinion.
