I try to be careful not to compare every situation of adverse treatment of persons in similar situations as examples of racism and sexism. The attack on the Presidents of Universities regarding antisemitism in this case mostly against females raises concerns. We have watched the stated and practiced race and gender policies of some of these same universities for years. We have heard cries from those impacted and it took lawsuits, national embarrassment, and court decisions to change any policy.
The immediate call for firing seem over the top when the presidents apparently spoke in their lack of understanding of laws and perceptions, and in some cases, their knowledge of their university policy and practice. Were they speaking on the free speech practices of their schools? Where was Congress and alumni’s outrage over the treatment of women and racial minorities by these universities including the harassment, letter writing, taunting, beatings, and even denial of admission and scholarships?
The problem in this instance is not what is happening to persons of Jewish or Islamic ancestry. It is wrong and reflects the underlying hatred and treatment of these groups. What is also wrong is that, once again, others who have been mistreated and abused have no significance or respect in the wider communities. Once again.
