Barbara Kay Epoch Times, Jan. 23, 2023 “The troubling reality is that there isn’t to my knowledge a single organization dedicated to Palestinian rights that accepts Israel’s legitimacy as a nation, or that accepts an attachment to their ancient homeland as a legitimate component of Jewish identity.” On January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, […]

“There is no “Jewish-Free Zone” at Berkeley Law or on the UC-Berkeley campus. The Law School’s rules are clear that no speaker can be excluded for being Jewish or for holding particular views. I know of no instance where this has been violated.” Erwin Chemerinsky (Yahoo! Finance, Oct. 1, 2022) When Does anti-Zionism Become Antisemitism? – Barbra Streisand, […]

Jeff Robbins Creators, Sept. 27, 2022 “Instead of acknowledging “Burlington, we’ve got a problem,” UVM’s president responded with a statement at once inane and threatening, warning darkly that the investigation would hurt Jewish students.” The facts at the core of the current antisemitism scandal at the University of Vermont don’t seem especially disputable, and […]
Kenneth L. Marcus The Hill, Sept. 1, 2022 “Lhamon’s message is important, and not only to reassure the Jewish community that she gets the problem. It is especially important for its true audience, which is the higher education community.” Days ago, the U.S. Education Department’s civil rights office, OCR, resolved a major anti-Semitism case at Kyrene School […]
Nate Hoffman National Review, Sept. 29, 2022 “It turns out that, when elite law schools like Yale teach their students that there are no consequences to their intolerance and illiberalism, the message sticks with them.” Judge James C. Ho of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit announced Thursday that he […]
Kenneth L. Marcus Jewish Journal, Sept. 28, 2022 “… the exclusionary bylaws operate like racially restrictive covenants, precluding minority participation into perpetuity.” If it wasn’t so frightening, one might be able to recognize the irony in the sight of campus progressives trying so hard to signal progressive virtue that they fall victim […]

Eliza Shapiro and Brian M. Rosenthal NY Times, Sept. 12, 2022 “For many Hasidic people, their schools are succeeding — just not according to the standards set by the outside world. In a community that places religion at the center of daily life, secular education is often viewed as unnecessary, or even distracting.” […]
Rabbi Avi Shafran Religion News Service, Sept. 13, 2022 “The critical thinking, textual analysis, reading comprehension, argumentation skills; the historical knowledge, the foreign language acquisition, the legal concepts; indeed, the Jewish culture, tradition, and ethical behavior … embedded in these schools’ religious study are genuinely remarkable.” The flyers in the synagogues in my […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Sept. 12, 2022 “As much as it would be easy to dismiss the story, if test scores and reports from other sources, including from Jews who are deeply worried about the failure of this system to prepare its students for any sort of a productive life other than Torah scholarship—are to be […]
