Jew Hating, Palestinian Loving Oberlin College "professor"
Posted on 03/03/2016 6:14:58 AM PST by C19fan
The Jewish president of Oberlin College in Ohio has defended one of his professors who spewed anti-Semitic hate on social media – including blaming Jews for 9/11 and the rise of ISIS. In a letter to the Oberlin community, President Marvin Krislov said that he believes in protecting freedom of speech at all costs and will not fire associate professor Joy Karega. 'I believe, as the American Association of University Professors says, that academic freedom is "the indispensable quality of institutions of higher education" because it encourages free inquiry, promotes the expansion of knowledge, and creates an environment in which learning and research can flourish,' Krislov writes.

It’s “free speech” when anti-Semites spew hatred against da joooz.
But let Ann Coulter try to speak there, and oh, my, she just cannot be permitted to appear!
The Louis Farrakhan brigade shows its ignorance once again
I wonder what Mike Adams will have to say about this.
Does Oberlin have anyone on staff that vocally supports Israel’s right to exist? Or do only Black instructors have freedom of speech at Oberlin?
Another self hating Jew?
In a show of solidarity, Muslims beheaded EVEN MORE Jews.
It just shows why my fellow Jews were so easily led into the ovens! F N Idiots!
Good on Marvin Krislov.
Long live free speech.
If any white man said that, he would be toast.
“anti-Semites spew hatred against da joooz.”
Krislov is a spineless coward. That free speech spiel is just an
excuse to cover his obvious fear of someone saying something
bad about him or worse losing his job. Besides he’s most
likely a fascist/liberal himself. Or he’s just Jew in name only.
Note: I realize that I am a Non-Jew commenting on a Jew
so I am obligated to say “I love Jews, I think they are the
greatest people on the earth”.
I could support the President if Colleges were not subsidized by Tax Payers
Once again Tax Payers are censored
Say no more.
Yeah, sure. Unless the speech is conservative or pro-Israel. In which case, the professors will be sacked.
He is protecting decidedly leftward speech — all too common on college campuses today. Now if someone were to say something against abortion or, god forbid, gay marriage, . . .

Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz told The Tower:
‘If Karega had expressed comparably bigoted views about Blacks, Muslims or gays, the President of Oberlin would not have posted the boilerplate he posted.’
'This is the worst kind of anti-Semitic rhetoric. 'It is not acceptable for the dean to hide behind academic freedom and claim this is freedom of speech.'
'She is not a tenured professor. She needs to be thrown off campus immediately.'
In recent months students at the $50,000-a-year college have expressed concerns that anti-Semitism is becoming a problem at the school.
The student newspaper, the Oberlin Review, says Jews do not feel welcome, quoting one student, who said: ‘I quickly learned that, at Oberlin, love for my own nation (Israel) was not something I could express.’
The same student reportedly later transferred out of the school due to the ‘toxic climate’ regarding Israel.
Last month, hundreds of alumni and students published an open letter to Oberlin President Martin Krislov saying the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanction Israel) movement has become considerably active on the college campus.
‘Several student organizations at Oberlin have assumed the role as the mouthpiece of the BDS movement, which claims to be a defender of Palestinian rights, but whose inflammatory language falsely portraying Israel as an illegitimate, colonialist and murderous regime demonstrates that its primary goal is to demonize the Jewish state,’ the letter said.
“As Oberlin students and alumni representing a diversity of views on Israel, we accept criticism of its leadership and policies. However, we do not believe Israel should be singled out for condemnation and we object to questioning its right to exist.
‘We also abhor the tactics of Oberlin’s pro-BDS student organizations that intimidate, threaten, and coerce Jewish students, which we have seen and heard in numerous written and spoken reports.
All speech should be protected, whether we agree with it or not. Otherwise, you’ll have government minders deciding what YOU can and cannot say.
