The idiocy of the leftist institutions of academia is just amazing. Keep digging Temple. The left seems to have followed Obama's hatred of the Jewish people.

Quote:A Temple University professor who questioned the deaths of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust and engaged in what human rights observers described as anti-Semitic discourse is entitled to promote his controversial ideas, according to a university spokesman who spoke to theWashington Free Beacon.

Adjunct Temple University Professor Alessio Lerro came under fire from Jewish scholars after he and other professors were caught on a secret listserv engaging in highly inflammatory anti-Semitic discourse about a resolution by the Modern Language Association (MLA) to boycott Israel.

Lerro accused “Jewish scholars” of having “humungous influence” over the entirety of academia and stated, “It is time that Zionists are asked to finally account for their support to the illegal occupation of Palestine since 1967,” according to message left on the listserv.

It further came to light that Lerro, in a now deleted Facebook posting, also questioned the deaths of 6 million Jewish people in the Holocaust.

Asked to comment on Lerro’s discourse and accusations by Jewish leaders that the rhetoric amounts to anti-Semitism, Temple University spokesman Brandon Lausch told the Free Beacon that the university welcomed his controversial views on campus.

“Temple University promotes open discussion and expression among its diverse community of scholars,” Lausch said after being informed of Lerro’s comments. “The exercise of academic freedom necessarily results in a vigorous exchange of ideas.”

In all honesty, it shouldn't be discouraged. Why are Jews beyond reproach? Talking about the Holocaust is always a proxy for talking about Jews in some way or another. The left has the black community to grapple on to and use as a battering ram to paint people in a negative light. The right has Jews but at least the blacks vote for the Dems given their patronage.

So you think the Holocaust didn't happen?

Isn't this the same as the Clippers presidents woes? What makes this different? Lerro is a racist. What say you Lefties?

Don't be a moron.

Now you know what it's like to be a liberal calling everybody a racist.

Then somehow I misread your post.

You did.

I said talking about the Holocaust is always used as a proxy for talking about Jews in general. Questioning the Holocaust is harmless, does anybody really think it can't be proven beyond all doubt? My point is that the right uses Jews like the left uses blacks. It's madness. Let them discuss the Holocaust however they wish, it doesn't change fact. If that leads to a discussion about Israel being an apartheid state then suddenly it matters.

If you look closely, any issues covered up by partisan screams of racism, bigorty, anti-semeti etc are worth having a frank discussion about.

The Jews vote Dem. The difference between blacks and Jews is Jews don't complain as much.

BTW, the Professor isn't wrong when he questions the existence of Israel. Questioning wether Israel behaves properly, is legal, moral, etc is not anti-semetism, any more so than not agreeing with affirmative action is 'racist.'

I wonder if they will have a class questioning the existence of slavery in the south?

Hmmmm, somehow I doubt it.

Of course not. Oprah starred in a movie about slavery so it's true.


I said that tongue in cheek, ok?

Jews don't complain? The phrase "oy vey" (woe is me) didn't come from a bunch of content people.

Probably through hard work. Tsk, tsk, those darn Jews.

I would not mind so much if there was honesty in this "approach" to education... But lets see them discuss the merits of a strong African Americans Family in the Jim Crow south versus broken communities in the free north.. Or how killing nearly every other African American child in the womb has allowed AA's to lose more and more of their electoral power..

And nepotism.

No problem with it, they've done better than everybody else. They're the only real "community" in this country (Talking Ashkenazi). The term "black community" gets thrown around a lot, but the Jewish do it for real.

I'd be happy to address this if it ever came up, but I don't know how comfortable I would be in a classroom doing this. It couldn't achieve its purpose in the vast majority of colleges in the country.

Thats my point... When someone questions the holocaust or "resolve America is evil" the lefties run in telling us what a wonderful thought exercise it is..

When an old guy with a beard sayd the blacks in rural LA had intact families in the 1960s and were in some ways better off than today he is called a racist and they try to run him off the air..

If they cant eat their own dog food then they should shut the hell up when others question the smell..
