The son of the band Wilco’s frontman vowed to never step foot at Sarah Lawrence College again after he says he became a “pariah” for identifying as Jewish and supporting Israel – and promised to warn others “to avoid the school at all costs.”
Sammy Tweedy, whose father is singer Jeff Tweedy, said he has decided not to return to the Bronxville, New York school campus because of its inhospitable climate for Jewish students.
“The feeling of being a pariah was so intense that I developed these stomach problems that just made life really difficult, and I think they went away since leaving. So just literally for my health I can’t go back there,” Tweedy told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA). The Chicago native is a history and music major at Sarah Lawrence, but he chose not to return to campus after his study abroad program at Tel Aviv University was put on hiatus due to the Israel-Hamas war, citing years of social ostracism for his vocal support of Israel.

Wasn’t Sarah Lawrence College where Fawn Lebowitz died in that tragic kiln explosion?
Roger, that!...................
Uncle Tupelo (think of a punkish version of the The Flying Burrito Brothers ) split up and some of its former members became Son Volt while the other members formed Wilco.
Back in the 90s.
A key question is whether the Jew hatred starts at home, or after they arrive on campus. Or have they been fooled into believing the “occupied territory” lies and that Israel is really the bad guy?

All these jew wanted to go to fancy schools, only to find out they are pariahs there.
They’re all going to have to go to Liberty, Bob Jones or Oral Roberts University - the only safe campuses.
LOL
Im a huge Wilco fan, so I pray this wakes Tweedy and Co up regarding their conspicuous left wing politics because damn, if they aren’t one of the greatest American bands of all time.
I’ve never even heard of them (and I’m a musician). I thought the article was about the farm store, Wilco. I’ll have to look them up.
The story needs to define ‘son’, It’s predominately a girl’s school although folks like Rahm (Israel) Emanual went there.
How do you “identify” as Jewish? Either you are or you’re not. I believe this all started with this tranny nonsense.
Sarah Lawrence went coed. Women became the majority in all colleges by 1980.
I guess you never heard of gentiles who wore a Star of David in the 40s. It’s sad you wouldn’t appreciate their bravery.
Sorry, I meant to say went coed in 1968.
Sounds like you agree with the college students.
No but I note the symmetry that a disproportionate number of (((them))) were more than happy to force conservatives off elite campuses - and especially out of graduate programs, tenure tracks and tenure.
They were Gentiles who supported Jews. They were not Jewish, nor did they claim to be. Yes they were brave, but they were not Jewish.
