Isn’t satire supposed to be amusing?

Even if the student’s paper was indeed antisemitic, that is still no excuse for her expulsion. Aljiem has a constitutional right to her views, no matter how shocking or preposterous they may be. So long as her scholarship was honest and up to par, her views are irrelevant.

Having been subjected to and harrassed over accusations of antisemitism myself in academia, I hope the ACLU takes up the case, and she wins.

Alan Dershowitz and those other tenured parasites in the ivory tower deserve to be paraded naked on campus, being forced to wear dunce-caps and placards reading: “I am a McCarthyist.”

Ordinary Jewish-American are innocent, and need to be protected against any hate backlash. But there is a tiny but powerful clique of older,white male Jews in high places that is really running things in academia like an old boys’ club.

Dershowitz and his ilk belong in the days of the Spanish Inquisition. The halls of learning have been turned into the whorehouses of political correctness.

This is all over the Internet as REAL! Isn’t there enough Jew hating nuts out there? You had to creat more? Will you please go to Snopes and tell them it isn’t true, so they can start telling everyone that it is SATIRE? Please.

As a new graduate student, I once had hoped to apply for Harvard/Yale but I soon found out their closed minds. I have sine got my PhD anfd my opinions of thoser two US schools have been confirmed. The USA can get fucked.

Is it just me, or is Noor Aljiem’s last name spelled three different ways throughout this article??? It says her last name is Aljiem, but throughout the article is spelled as ‘Najiem’, and at one point is even written as ‘Alhiem’.

Assuming these are mistakes, as I don’t know what else it could be, it’s obviously this is a satire…and a poorly spell checked one at that!(I’d expect more from Harvard students ;) )

Yeah, Hamzeh is right. I just tried to look for more information on this, and found nothing. Going back to the link you provided, many of the commentators mentioned that it’s satire, check the tags at the end of the post.

Hi Haitham,

this is actually a satirical piece. The story didn’t really happen. I think you should put a note on that near the end or the beginning of the post.
