The creator of “Dilbert” is ending all financial support for UC Berkeley in the wake of campus protests last week that turned violent.

The destruction of private property, fires, and the beating of a Donald Trump supporter prior to Feb. 1 event with Breitbart News‘ Milo Yiannopoulos has prompted cartoonist Scott Adams to recoil from UC Berkeley. Mr. Adams wrote on his blog that he would no longer feel safe traversing the campus where he obtained his MBA.

“I’m ending my support of UC Berkeley, where I got my MBA years ago,” Mr. Adamswrote Feb. 3. “I have been a big supporter lately, with both my time and money, but that ends today. I wish them well, but I wouldn’t feel safe or welcome on the campus. A Berkeley professor made that clear to me recently. He seems smart, so I’ll take his word for it.

“I’ve decided to side with the Jewish gay immigrant [Mr. Yiannopoulos], who has an African-American boyfriend, not the hypnotized zombie-boys in black masks who were clubbing people who hold different points of view,” he wrote. “I feel that’s reasonable, but I know many will disagree, and possibly try to club me to death if I walk on campus.”

Mr. Adams, whose work appears in over 2,000 newspapers, said that critics of President Trump need to realize the “absurdity” of comparisons to Adolf Hitler.

“Yesterday I asked my most liberal, Trump-hating friend if he ever figured out why Republicans have most of the Governorships, a majority in Congress, the White House, and soon the Supreme Court,” Mr. Adams wrote. “He said, ‘There are no easy answers.’ I submit that there are easy answers. But for many Americans, cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias hide those easy answers behind Hitler hallucinations.”

The “Dilbert” creator attracted widespread media attention during the 2016 election cycle by being one of the first commentators to predict Mr. Trump’s success in the Republican presidential primary.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams announced on his blog recently that he will stop donating to his alma mater, the University of California at Berkeley. Maybe it’s time for you to do the same.

Mr. Adams stated “…I’m ending my support of UC Berkeley, where I got my MBA years ago. I have been a big supporter lately, with both my time and money, but that ends today. I wish them well, but I wouldn’t feel safe or welcome on the campus. A Berkeley professor made that clear to me recently. He seems smart, so I’ll take his word for it.”

He goes on to speculate if his appearance on campus might result is his being clubbed to death. Whether or not that’s a serious concern on his part, it’s clear that conservatives are not welcome at the grand majority of our nation’s universities. Certainly, open airing of right-of-center views are likely to provoke verbal, if not physical, abuse.

Which poses a question: If you are conservative, why should you support institutions that make it their business to foment hatred towards you? Make no mistake, today’s colleges are not only hotbeds of Leftist ideology, but they actively try to silence anyone who thinks, well, like you do. Indeed, your very existence makes the entire population of snowflakes, professors and students alike, tremble with fear and, lately, rage.

Today’s places of higher learning teach conformity to liberal ideals in the most aggressive way possible. There is a right way to think and a wrong way to think. A right way to speak and a wrong way to speak. A right way to dress for Halloween and a wrong way. A right hat to wear and a wrong hat (hint: it says “Make America Great Again” on it).

There are all sorts of punishments for picking the wrong way; you could be socially ostracized, your grades might suffer, your application to grad school might make its way to the circular file, and worse.
Is this the atmosphere you want to subsidize? An atmosphere where alumni like you are considered a danger to (not-so) polite society?

Charitable donations are laudable, but sending money to places that are antithetical to your views is ridiculous. If you supported Trump for president, did you donate to Clinton? Of course not. Your conservative dollars going to a very liberal university is supporting the status quo, and the status quo, apparently, wants you dead.

So, kind-hearted and altruistic Republicans, it’s time to stop donating to liberal brainwashing factories and use your hard-earned money to feed starving children, help disabled veterans, or support the Police Benevolent Association. You’ll be doing a lot more good and feel better about giving to organizations that are less overtly political than your alma mater.

Political donations are one thing, but donating to Leftist universities is mixing politics with charity, and that’s a bad idea. How bad? Two words: Clinton Foundation.
