She was involved in anti-Israel and a campaign opposing fossil fuels.

When University of Pennsylvania sophomore Eliana Atienza was placed on mandatory leave for participating in an illegal anti-Israel encampment, she portrayed herself as a downtrodden victim of “administrative violence.” An international student from the Philippines, Atienza was forced to vacate her campus dorm, leaving her “homeless” with no family in the United States to turn to, she told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

A Washington Free Beacon review of Atienza’s family, however, tells a different story.

Atienza’s father, Kim Atienza, is better known as “Kuya Kim,” a celebrity television presenter who has hosted the country’s most popular morning and game shows. Her grandfather—prominent Filipino politician Lito Atienza—served as deputy speaker of the country’s House of Representatives until 2022, when he launched a bid for vice president as the running mate of boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao. Atienza’s mother, meanwhile, is a Wharton School graduate who founded and led the Chinese International School Manila, a private K-12 institution.

Eliana Atienza didn’t just participate in anti-Israel activism, last year she participated in an effort to push the University of Pennsylvania to divest from fossil fuels. Atienza is one of many examples of the children of wealthy, privileged families who attend Ivy League universities. They live sheltered, meaningless, privileged lives that the left loves to take advantage of and she’s also an example of the kind of misfits described by Eric Hoffer.

Atienza’s life is so meaningless, that she’ll not only engage in activities to demonize Jews but also to wreck the very basis of civilization that enabled her family to be wealthy: fossil fuels. That’s gratitude for ya!
