On May 7, we saw a blatant example of how far our campuses had fallen, courtesy of the near-riot at SFSU. While a pro-Palestinian crowd swarmed pro-Israel rally members, used physical violence, and shouted “Get out or we will kill you” and “Hitler did not finish the job,” administration officials on the scene did nothing. Glenn Reynolds of FoxNews.com has the details.
These sorts of double standards are common at universities all over the West. It seems that it has become fine to offend and smear Jewish or white students, but one must not do so to anyone else. I saw the early manifestations of this while at Colby, in Maine. In its early stages the only ones picked on were “white” students who were not allowed to have views other than the “correct”. Somewhere between then, the late 80’s, and now, Jews have become “honourary whites”, and it is now open season on them. I would recomend that my readers get a copy of “Shadow University” for further tales of oppression of white students, and laterly Jewish ones.
What is most appalling is that this was allowed to happen at a state university. California taxpayers are paying the salaries of the administration and professors at this university. Surely the concept of “in loco parentis” extends to Jewish & pro-Israeli students as well. I would hope that any student who was abused at the event sues the hell out of the SFSU, or, even better, all of them launch a class action suit against the university.
This blog can only comment on one or two facets of the travesty at SFSU. Other dimensions of this incident and the alarming trends it represents are detailed in the full SFSU Blog Burst Index at Winds of Change.
