The phrase “canary in a coal mine” refers to the bygone practice of taking live canaries into coal mines to detect the presence of toxic gases. If the mine’s air started to become unsafe, the canary would stop singing and become ill. Miners would take that as a sign of a clear and present danger to their own health and welfare.
There is another extremely sick canary in America... otherwise known as women in higher education.
With rare exceptions, American colleges and universities have become stupidity factories. Over recent years, the main output of these so-called institutions of higher learning schools has been ignorant, immature schoolgirls who possess little if any discernment or critical thinking skills. One writer characterized many of them as uniformed sound bite sponges. These dopey, “woke” students were more devoted to gender studies, racism, feminism, intersectionality, and social justice than pursuing degrees that have any real economic value.
That was until October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists slaughtered innocent human beings at a music festival and others in their homes, killing at least 300 and injuring nearly 1600 more while brutalizing hostages.
The response to this atrocity and the Israelis’ efforts to defend their country, continues to be untold numbers of clueless college students, mostly women and gays, who have engaged in displays of vile hatred towards both Israel and Jews
who attend their schools. Some of these “women” at USC in California are resisting police who are attempting to maintain order and protect Jewish students to the point where the school has canceled graduation ceremonies.
With all this said, Israel is not without some blame. It has been harsh in its campaign to defend itself from these Hamas attacks…. but that is not the point of this post.
If you watch videos and study photos from pro-Hamas/Palestinian events on college campuses across America, you will soon notice that the participants are mostly Generation Z women. There are far fewer men in attendance, with many of those who do participate identifying as gay or trans.
One would have to wonder why these dumbed-down female students are so willing to support a culture that murders gays and subjugates women. One coed involved in a pro-Palestine demonstration and interviewed on Rumble could not explain why she was there.
At Columbia University, primarily female students have set up a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus and chant, “Death to the Jews.” They are not alone, on a growing number of college campuses across America, student protesters are setting up other tent camps on school grounds to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Sadly, there has been little if any pushback from school officials who seem to be okay with these repugnant demonstrations of antisemitism continuing at the expense of Jewish faculty and students... who are being advised to stay home for their safety. These complicit administrators have fostered an environment that allows outside agitators to operate with impunity on their campuses. Like a stinking dead fish, these once respected institutions of higher learning are rotting from the head down.
This is a far cry from the origins of these elite schools like Columbia, Yale, and other Ivy League colleges that were originally established to train ministers in the Gospel and evangelize the original 13 colonies.
Wayne Allyn Root, an American conservative radio host, reported on April 22nd that, “The school (Columbia) has now capitulated to the mob and canceled in-person classes and moved to online education. Keep in mind that Jewish students’ parents are paying $86,000 per year for the “privilege” of this treatment. Incredibly, Yale protestors just blocked a Jewish student from entering a campus building. Remind anyone of Hitler’s young Nazi thugs in 1930’s Germany?”
(Editor’s note: Wait... how would they know that? Real history is no longer taught at these schools, instead, a politically correct version is spoon-fed to students... So how would they know any better?)
Root went on to contribute, “At Yale, radical students occupied the campus in solidarity with their Columbia Jew-hating comrades. Recent anti-Semitic protests at Yale turned violent when a Jewish student journalist reporting on the protests was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag. And incredibly, this is all happening in America. Today. Right now.”
What did the administrators of these colleges and universities think was going to happen when so much of their curriculum has been steeped in social justice, diversity, inclusion, gender, queer studies, and loads of other foolish and unbiblical ideas?
As a result, they've trained up a biblically illiterate and amoral generation of useful idiots, many of whom are consumed by hatred of God’s chosen people. These female-driven antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities, calling for the annihilation of Israel. Sadly, they have had help from two places... first from their parents who are not instilling in them the Word of God... and secondly from the failure of so many church pastors to teach God’s Old Testament promises and admonitions regarding the nation of Israel...
"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you" (Genesis 12:2-3)
Sadly, all of this is eerily reminiscent of what happened on university campuses in Nazi Germany during the 1930s. If college-educated female members of Gen Z, supposedly our best and brightest women, are to be America’s “leaders of the future” ...that canary is now on life support.

I have read quite a bit on this topic of college campus tent cities protesting Israel’s defense of its nation. Yes, the Gen Z women are a ‘special’ bunch but they aren’t smart enough to pull off this concerted effort. Apparently, there are websites and groups that will ‘stage’ people in protest, provide the supplies, etc. There are outside forces fanning the flames of this nonsense…similar to the protests around George Floyd’s death during our last election year.
You’re spot on with your assessment of this generation and their cultural rot but they are not organized to do this on their own. There are universities pushing back, in Florida and Texas of course and preventing these tent cities from forming.
We need to be discovering who the outside forces are pulling these strings.
I hold out optimism that we’ve gone so far off the rails that there is going to be an amazing correction with the kids in my children’s generation! We’re long due a revival!!
I'm at a point with all of this that it becomes difficult to have much hope for change and repentance in this country. I'm glad you've highlighted the depravity of this, and while God is able to do anything, I also know there must be a willingness of people to see and receive what He could do. And since Satan seems to have complete control of this generation's hearts, it is at best an uphill climb. I just keep wondering how long He will allow this to continue before takes his blessing away from this country, even as I keep praying for repentance.
