<p>It&rsquo;s normal for colleges and universities to be liberal, but you can only lean so far to the left before you fall over. And with Yale&rsquo;s recent decision to establish a Sharia law center, I&rsquo;d say it&rsquo;s close to falling.</p>
<p>Earlier during the 2014-2015 school year, Yale surprised us by hiring a <strong>#BlackLivesMatter protestor</strong> to teach a class on the movement. On Friday the Ivy League school announced the decision to erect a Sharia law center on campus using a $10 million donation from a Saudi Arabian billionaire.  ;</p>
<p>According to <em>NBC News</em>, the $10 million comes from Abdallah S. Kamel, the CEO of a Saudi real estate company who has donated money to Yale in the past. The new center will feature Kamel&#8217;s name and be used to bring in Sharia law experts for seminars, lectures, fellowships, and guest professorships. ;</p>
<p>Abdallah S. Kamel is following in the footsteps of King Fahd, a Saudi who in 1993 helped fund an Islamic law center at Harvard.</p>
<p>Yale officials have said they want their new Sharia law center to be the best in the United States &ndash; possibly the world. <strong>But why?</strong> I fail to see how understanding Islamic law will be helpful to American lawyers&hellip; ;</p>
<p>On top of that, many believe that the wealthy Saudis who are now trying to infiltrate America&rsquo;s top schools with Sharia law are the same people who funded 9/11. ;</p>
<p>Has liberal propaganda replaced Yale&rsquo;s sense of purpose?</p>
<p>Yale Professor Anthony Kronman defended the school&rsquo;s controversial decision to <em>NBC News</em>: &ldquo;The contemporary challenges of Islamic law are broadly relevant to political events throughout the entire Islamic world and those are developments that are watched by a much larger audience of people who in many cases have not much knowledge at all of the history and traditions of Islamic law.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the responsibility of universities to teach and instruct and that obligation applies with particular force where an issue or a subject tends to be viewed in an incomplete or inadequate or even caricatured way,&rdquo; said Kronman. &ldquo;There the responsibility to teach and enlighten is even stronger.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Yale President Peter Salovey and Yale Law School Dean Robert C. Post have high hopes for the new center, even going so far as to say that it will &ldquo;benefit the entire world.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p> ;&ldquo;The creation of this center reflects the growing interest at Yale and other academic institutions in a deeper understanding of Islamic law, history, and culture,&rdquo; said Post. &ldquo;Islamic law has a long and proud tradition, which encompasses great intellectual achievements. It is also a subject of immense contemporary importance. There is a tremendous need for an interdisciplinary center to support scholarship in the field. The Abdallah S. Kamel Center meets this need&#8230;It will enable our students and faculty to form lasting connections with scholars and experts in the Middle East and elsewhere.&rdquo;</p>
