[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people think Columbia and Harvard can violate civil rights laws and get away with it. You all just agree with them because you hate Jews, but legally this is no different from segregationists in Alabama back in the day. And they sent the Army to sort that out, so Columbia and Harvard seem to be getting off easy. [/quote]

What civil rights laws violations have they gotten away with? Be specific.[/quote]

Go read the letters yourself. The specific instances of civil rights violations are described. If Harvard and Columbia think they are being falsely accused, they should defend themselves in court. But I don't know how they think they can get away with race-based admissions standards, and sending an email (written evidence, omg) to Jewish students that they won't be able to protect them from hate crimes on campus. You can't get away with this behavior in America. [/quote]

It seems Harvard and Columbia have given Jewish students preferential admission. Both schools have about 25% Jewish students in undergrad while the Jewish population in the US is 2%. Now you are saying that these same “people” in the administration(who are Jewish) are in a conspiracy to do what?

Let’s remember just because some outside group claims a peaceful protest is a hate crime does not make it so. Protesting against the Israel’s on going Holocaust and war crimes is not a hate crime.

Now you and the Trump administration are stripping Jews who attend these two school of their degrees …so as to protect Jews from peaceful protest against Israel? It is you who are antisemitic and involved in hate crimes.

You have gone too far.

[/quote]These colleges are the ones that introduced geographic diversity in admissions to keep down the number of Jews.[/quote]

Sure, but that was generations ago. When I went to Penn (which was also decades ago), more than half of the white undergraduates were Jews (including me). Whatever claims people want to make now about antisemitism in the Ivy League, most of which I find pretty unpersuasive, it seems like a real stretch to say it's related to or caused by the antisemitic attitudes of the 1950s.[/quote]
