GWU stands by Professor Lara Sheehi accused of anti-Semitism, berating Jewish students
The New York Post ^ | 03/29/2023 | Hannah Grossman

George Washington University is standing by its diversity professor after a complaint to the US Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights alleged that she created a psychologically traumatizing class environment, which students said caused them to cry and go on antidepressants. *** Sheehi, who teaches a mandatory diversity class, “took offense” and publicly berated a student for Islamophobia for using the term “terrorist attack,” ***

“We were demeaned, and she twisted our words to make us look like the problem, which is pretty classic anti-Semitism, scapegoating the Jew, gaslighting the Jew, making us seem like we’re the issue,” a student told the Daily Caller.

One student reported “crying” after Sheehi brought in a speaker who, the complaint said, justified violence against civilians in Israel.

According to the complaint, when a student told Sheehi they felt “unsafe in a program that would invite a speaker who endorsed violence against Israeli civilians and who, therefore, may celebrate the murder of her Israeli relatives. In response, Professor Sheehi called the student’s comment a ‘damaging Islamophobic anti-Palestinian’ comment and added that a stone is nothing compared to an army.’” *** “More than one of us has had to go on antidepressants as a result of this. I had to pause my part-time job, couldn’t keep food down, couldn’t sleep because this is really an assault on my identity in a class … It’s had a real physical and psychological impact.” *** She turned the faculty against the Jewish students by spreading lies about us and our conduct, she disparaged us in front of our classmates, calling us Islamophobes,” ***

The students said they were subjected to “disciplinary proceedings” which “effectively silenced us.”

GWU denied any retaliation in its internal investigation. ***

Diversity is divisivity (sic)

The students who were so damaged by the hateful rhetoric that they were compelled to medicate are surely Democrats. The second greatest threat to Jews are self-loathing Jews.

Sheehi, who teaches a mandatory diversity class,

Mandatory leftist ideology classes?

Yes, WE are the (neo) Marxists now.

Why don't they just laugh at her, and denounce Muslims as "racists," "imperialist," and "colonialists" who "occupied" Spain, Israel and dozens of other nations they invaded?

Remind her of how Mohammed betrayed and butchered/exiled the Jews of Medina who had saved his life in the early days. Ask her why doesn't she support reparations for descendants of those Jews?

Ridicule the idea that there is an ethnicity called "Palestinian." Ask her "hey., where is 'Palestine'? Is that mext to Mordor? Did Frodo make it there? IT DOESN'T EXIST, YOU RACIST IMPERIALIST!"

ATTACK THEM like they do us!

“ The second greatest threat to Jews are self-loathing Jews. ”

As a Jew, I agree with that statement. Just don’t call them Jews. They are Jewish. Big difference.

I was struck by the reactions of the students; crying, feeling unsafe, not able to keep food down, antidepressants. Given that Sheehi is a worthless diversity professor teaching a pointless mandatory class, have the students not learned to suck it up and deal the the problem like adults?

Whites and Christians are insulted every day. And not just by a professor here and there, but by multi-billion dollar media and tech empires.

This should not be surprising when you consider that the virulent form of anti-Semitism that the Nazis espoused was a product of the universities.

Many of the original Nazis were lawyers.
