Great opinion piece by Glenn Reynolds. Why would Jewish students stick it out at Ivy League schools where they aren't safe...?

Jewish students, come here to the South where you'll be safe

Jewish students in the Ivy League, I'm here to offer an invitation: Come to the South, where you'll be safe.
It's manifestly not safe to be an Ivy League Jew. A prominent Columbia rabbi "strongly" advised Jewish students to go home and not come back: It's become clear "Columbia University's Public Safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish students' safety in the face of extreme antisemitism and anarchy," Rabbi Elie Buechler told students this week over WhatsApp.
And no wonder. An anti-Israel protester near the Columbia campus yelled at counterprotesters holding Israeli flags, "Go back to Poland!" and "Go back to Belarus!" The marcher waved the Palestinian flag in their faces and said, "Get the hell out of here!"
"Columbia is basically now Hamas with a bad football program," one wag tweeted.
If demonstrators were yelling at black students, "Go back to Africa," President Biden would have given a national address, at least if his underlings were able to get his medications right. But as I write this, he hasn't even tweeted.
