Oberlin ‘Social Justice’ Professor Claims Israel Behind 9/11 and ISIS
5th March 2016
And Hitler was all the Jews’ fault. It’s perfectly clear to me now.
Oberlin College professor Joy Karega, a social justice writing instructor at the Ohio-based liberal arts college, has published a series of posts on social media that largely blames the 9/11 attacks and the rise of the Islamic State and Charlie Hebdo attacks on Israel, according to a report in the campus newspaper that included numerous screenshots of the scholar’s comments.
What is a ‘social justice writing instructor’? And why does an educational institution (outside of a Communist state) have one?
A campus spokesperson told The Tower in response to the revelation of Karega’s comments that “Oberlin College respects the rights of its faculty, students, staff, and alumni to express their personal views. …The statements posted on social media by Dr. Joy Karega, assistant professor of rhetoric and composition, are hers alone and do not represent the views of Oberlin College.”
But if anyone had published similar screeds against Muslims, it would have been Hate Speech Hell for whoever was involved: Fired, expelled, sued, and pilloried in the media.
