Liberal Hypocrisy: Stanford Instructor Suspended For Making Jewish Students Feel Bad

Reason reports that "[a]n instructor at Stanford University has been suspended for what the president and provost called 'identity-based targeting' of students in connection with the Israel-Gaza war." 

    Rabbi Dov Greenberg, director of the Chabad Stanford Jewish Center, said he was told by three students who were in the room that the instructor asked Jewish and Israeli students to identify themselves during a session for a required undergraduate course called "Civil, Liberal and Global Education."

    The teacher told the Jewish students to take their belongings, stand in a corner, and said, "This is what Israel does to the Palestinians," Greenberg said, citing the student accounts. The instructor then asked, "How many people died in the Holocaust?" When a student answered, "Six million," the lecturer said, "Colonizers killed more than 6 million. Israel is a colonizer."

I wonder where the instructor might have gotten the idea that his or her stunt would go unpunished?

• Stanford's Anti-Racism resources website contains a sub-category on "Anti-Racist Education" links to additional categories including a Google document on "Confronting White Supremacy: Educational resource sheet put together by educators to discuss and dismantle white supremacy in the classroom." That Google document links to various articles and books on "anti-racist" teaching including "If You Think Racism is Too Political For Your Classroom, Think About What Your Silence Says" by Sonja Cherry-Paul at Medium. She reminds readers that "Teaching is a political act." She also indicates that "racism is a 'White people problem' that gravely affects the lives of people of color. But 'we (POC) didn’t create racism. We don’t benefit from it.'" And that was just one link from one sub-sub-category of materials recommended to educators at Stanford. Stanford also has a "Faculty Anti-Bias Training Resources" page but its guides (including "Essential Conversations in the Classroom") are apparently so bad that you can only access them if you have a Stanford account.
• And, of course, who can forget Stanford's 2022 language guide that set out acceptable, woke Newspeak, including this bit about "colonialism": "Colonialism is the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically."

Of course, when I was in junior high and high school, it was de jour, when teaching about the trans-Atlantic slave trade, to take a group of white students and cram them together under a table so they would get an idea of how confined blacks were on the slave ships. And who, from that same period, can forget the film of a white school teacher that segregated her elementary age students by eye-color to teach them about racism. That was okay as well.
