'Hiding their Jewish Identity': Professor Warns Antisemitism Is Making Campuses Intolerable for Jews
National Post ^ | Dec 27, 2025 | Donna Kennedy-Glans

Ideology has seized our universities, Cary Kogan says: ‘We can't have this kind of identity-based hate movement being taught in classrooms’

“Bondi was a warning shot,” cautions Cary Kogan, professor of psychology at the University of Ottawa. “If Western governments aren’t going to deal with the issue (of antisemitism), this is what we’re going to end up with. And I worry; the intelligence community has told us very clearly that there are bad actors here in Canada, and you know, the government needs to listen.”

Offended, both as a Jew and an academic, by faculty union manoeuvres to constrain the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, Cary co-founded the Network of Engaged Canadian Academics (NECA) in 2022. It was a prescient move; a year later, in the aftermath of the horrific Hamas massacre of Jews in Gaza, the network was positioned to support academics across Canada.

“We’re 400 members across 53 campuses,” Cary explains, “concerned about the safety of Jewish faculty and students and staff and combatting antisemitism.” What’s going on in campuses across the country is “really taking us away from the things that a university is supposed to be about.”

After graduating with a PhD in psychology and completing a residency at SickKids hospital in Toronto, Cary’s been teaching psychology for two decades. In that capacity, he’s studied faculty experiences of antisemitism. “Basically, what we find is there are two groups of faculty; those who have experienced no antisemitism or very low, and those who have experienced really high levels,” he shared in a recent conversation.

The mental health of the latter group takes a hit, leading to professional disruption, he explains: “It seems to work through feeling that you have to support yourself, your Jewish identity; that you’re vulnerable; and that you’re betrayed by your institution

I proudly wear an Israeli flag pin and it’s on several things I carry .... especially with Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson on my side (although hidden mostly not to scare the wokie folks)

Hey, Dems. Hope you’re proud of yourselves. Your stupid “democracy” is setting back rights and freedoms 75 years or more. Good job, a-holes.

The movie Gentleman’s Agreement (1947) starring Gregory Peck.
Synopsis:
When journalist Phil Green (Gregory Peck) moves to New York City, he takes on a high-profile magazine assignment about anti-Semitism. In order to truly view things from an empathetic perspective, he pretends to be a Jew and begins to experience many forms of bigotry, both firsthand and through a Jewish friend, Dave Goldman (John Garfield).


My update on the constantly pushed dirty word “democracy”—A political system in which violent mob rule has power to take the rights of anyone in a minority percentage opinion group.
As a doorway open for Maxist-Leninist Communist rule.

Yep. Which is why I carry. However, here in WA I have a CPL and an FAA cred to carry.

In the old days, Jewish students were not allowed entrance to major universities, or there was a small quota allowed.

Dr. Jonas Salk, principal researcher who found the vaccine to stop the deadly and disfiguring polio, was refused as a student at every medical school due to his being Jewish (Yale, Columbia, U of Pennsylvania and Yale for example) until NYU School of Medicine allowed him.


“In ‘The Chosen: The Hidden History of Admission and Exclusion at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton’, Jerome Karabel, a sociologist, examines the tactics used by the “Big Three” to control class composition, and demonstrates how changing definitions of merit have been used to justify discrimination for more than a century.”
Author interview quote: “In 1962, Yale eliminated their Jewish quota—-they had never admitted they’d had one, of course, but the documentary evidence is pretty damning...”

“… Cary Kogan, professor of psychology at the University of Ottawa.”

For the time being, anyway.

Yes.

The Federalist Papers detailed what became our system of a Constitutional Republic and it was and is a great choice.

Yes!
I don’t want to hear anymore whining from Oprah, Michelle, other black whiners, muslims or illegal aliens!
Jews and Christians are the ones getting maligned, attacked, and killed.

“’Hiding their Jewish Identity’: Professor Warns Antisemitism Is Making Campuses Intolerable for Jews”

only in leftist strongholds and assorted anti-Semitic countries ...

for example, Florida universities welcome Jews with open arms ...

When is the last time normal people fought back against antifa or BLM? They ended up in jail, and antifa was bailed out. I specifically reference the Proud Boys who did yeomans work in Portland and Seattle protecting people. They were set up and took a fall for not going into the Capitol. They did show up, sans weapons. Of course they had weapons back at the Hotel, in Virginia.

Depends on what the author’s definition of “antisemitism” means. If threat of direct violence then criminal. If holding signs that is hateful then protected under free speech. This professor doesn’t get to dictate free speech terms and influence public policy against the same.

Yeah. One mussie family refused to fly when they saw my Star of David necklace while on the flight deck. I had turned to adjust a control and they saw it. Tough. This was when I was flying for Frontier.
