Oberlin College president won’t fire prof who spews anti-Semitic hate, invokes freedom of speech

Mar 4, 2016 4:42 pm By Robert Spencer

Marvin Krislov’s statement would be more plausible if the commitment of American colleges and universities to academic freedom and the freedom of speech weren’t so one-sided today. Joy Karega has written “Facebook posts blaming Israel and Jews for everything from 9/11 to the creation of ISIS.” For that, we get reminded that “cultivating academic freedom can be difficult and at times painful for any college community.” All right. But how much difficulty is Mr. Krislov willing to tolerate in pursuit of academic freedom and the freedom of speech? Would he, say, employ a professor who taught that Islam was not, in fact, a religion of peace, but contained doctrines of warfare against and the subjugation of unbelievers? I expect that Mr. Krislov and every other college president in the country would drop such a professor in a hot New York minute. But Joy Karega’s paranoid Jew-hatred? Why, that fits right in on campuses today. Professors like Joy Karega are being hired by the pound in colleges and universities all over the country — and when they become too obvious about what they’re doing, we hear for the first and only time from these ugly little totalitarian statelets that they believe in “academic freedom and freedom of speech.” They do — but only if one holds acceptably Leftist points of view.

Joy Karenga Jew-hatred

“Oberlin College president appears to defend controversial professor in letter,” FoxNews.com, March 3, 2016:

The head of a prestigious Ohio school appeared to have defended a professor whose Facebook posts blaming Israel and Jews for everything from 9/11 to the creation of ISIS created an uproar earlier this week.

Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov said in a letter to the college community Wednesday that professor Joy Karega’s posts on social media affected him on a personal level and also challenged his professional beliefs, according to The Chronicle-Telegram.

“I am a practicing Jew, grandson of an Orthodox rabbi. Members of our family were murdered in the Holocaust,” Krislov wrote. “As someone who has studied history, I cannot comprehend how any person could or would question its existence, its horrors and the evil which caused it. I feel the same way about anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Regardless of the reason for spreading these materials, they cause pain for many people — members of our community and beyond.”

He didn’t mention Karega’s name in the letter, but said backing the right to freedom of speech was parallel to the college’s mission.

“Cultivating academic freedom can be difficult and at times painful for any college community. The principles of academic freedom and freedom of speech are not just principles to which we turn to face these challenges, but also the very practices that ensure we can develop meaningful responses to prejudice.

“This freedom enables Oberlin’s faculty and students to think deeply about and to engage in frank, open discussion of ideas that some may find deeply offensive. Those discussions — in classrooms, residence halls, libraries, and across our campus and town — take place every day here. They are a vital part of the important work of liberal arts education at Oberlin and in our country,” he added….

    Israel and the jews have been treated differently from other countris and peoples. That is anti-semitism, pure and simple. Anti-semitism has been around for a long time and, though itis on the rise now, there were worse times. No group supported blacks more then the jews. Good deeds shouldn’t go unpunished.

      She is currently working on a book project that draws upon archival research and oral history and historicizes the political literacy education of the BLACK LIBERATION FRONT INTERNATIONAL,* a Black student organization at Michigan State University from 1968 to 1975.”

    One of the loonier so-called institutions of higher learning in all the land is Oberlin. It is replete with politically correct nonsense and, of course, rank hypocrisy and double standards, courtesy of what has happened to modern liberalism over the past half century or so whereby it has increasingly morphed into leftist fascism, nowhere more evident in America than on one college campus after another. Here Oberlin is a “winner,” arguably top ten material.

        Mar 4, 2016 at 10:53 pm

        The bottom line for Oberlin is the quality of education that one might hope to receive from a teacher who indulges in unsubstantiated and paranoid conspiracy theories. I would not trust that such a person would give me the facts in class or grade my assignments fairly.

        In short, I would think Joy Karega was ‘flaky’.

      • Wellington says

        Mar 5, 2016 at 12:59 pm

        I would argue Fox News, with all its faults, really is the fairest of all major news sites. It leans right but does have a heavy minority liberal presentation from many (e.g., Susan Estrich, Juan Williams, Mara Liason, Charles Lane, Kirsten Powers et al.). By contrast, an outlet like CBS News is virtually 100% liberal——can you name a conservative at CBS?

        As for Palin in particular, she has never said anything as silly as what Obama has (e.g., that “Austrian” is a language and not knowing the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day, though I concede her endorsement of Trump was just too rah-rah). She actually says many things that make perfect sense (e.g., her warnings years ago about ObamaCare) but a she has been vilified terribly and yet the MSM continues to let that massive incompetent, crook and liar, Hillary Clinton, get away with so much (e.g., barely reporting about her HUGE troubles with having a private server). Only Fox News has stuck to this latest foolhardiness by Clinton. And I would take Palin over Clinton in a heartbeat for President. After all, who would you choose to cover your back——–Palin or Clinton?

        From what I have seen of it, Fox is the very best of a bad lot…. For bigoted drivel, try CNN. That they would employ Palin, says they are not closed minded, hard left bigots, unlike yourself.

    Truth is not a matter of mere opinion or the number of people who ‘vote’ for a claim. There is ABOVE ALL IN ACADEMIA something called the BURDEN OF PROOF.

    When one person makes a claim that another disputes it, the one who makes the claim has a BURDEN OF PROOF to justify or substantiate that claim. An ‘argument from ignorance’ occurs when a claim is assumed to be true (since it has not yet been proved false) or when a claim is assumed to be false because it has not yet been proved true.

    That has the effect of shifting the BURDEN OF PROOF to the person criticizing the claim.

    In other words, Joy Karega cannot just make a claim. She should stand before a body of people and defend the ‘thesis’. If not, she should laughed out of the institution.

    No one should be able make up their own facts in academia. Joy Karega has the burden of proof for her unsubstantiated fantasies.

    • Will McCracke says

      Mar 7, 2016 at 12:33 pm

      First, I am not a member of the Administration, Staff, Faculty, nor an Alumnus or student at Oberlin College. I make the following statements as an individual protected by the First Amendment.

      Doctor Joy Karega must prove her postings that the Holocaust was a Zionist conspiracy and that Jews, Israelis and American elected officials and government agencies killed hundreds of innocent people in terrorist debacles only when she presents them to her Oberlin College students as facts rather than her own beliefs. .While I disagree with those abominable statements entirely, I believe that the First Amendment protects her right to say them.

      It is also my belief that it took great integrity and courage for Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov to support Dr. Karega’s right to free speech under the First Amendment.

      Oberlin College Board of Trustees Chairman Clyde S. McGregor’s stated on behalf of that Board on March 5th, 2016 that, “a member of Oberlin College’s faculty posted “statements that are anti Semitic and abhorrent. And we,”(the Board)”deplore anti-Semiticism and all other forms of bigotry.” I applaud the Board’s position that “From its founding, Oberlin College has stood for inclusion, respect, and tolerance.,” then added, “We still do.”

      Dr. Karega has–as I understand it–shut down her media outlets so I have heard of rather than read her postings directly, I do not know if she made them as an individual or as a faculty member of Oberlin College. If she did the former, it is my hope that the Board and Administration will continue to deplore them rather than attempt to fire her, that her Faculty peers censure her and ask her to resign, and that Oberlin’s students of every Race and Religion take the highest possible road and boycott her classes entirely.

      To me, that is the American way.

        Mar 7, 2016 at 10:31 pm

        Your arguments and the references to the first amendment are very weak. The main question is if the administration applies freedom of speach equally. I suspect they do not. I am sure, if a white man would do similar thing toward blacks, he would be fired on the spot. So your references to the first amendment do not apply. It is also well known that anti-semitism leads to violence against the jews and because of that should be looked at in a different way not just through the letter of the first amendment.

        • Will McCracken says

          Mar 8, 2016 at 10:00 am

          I agree entrely that Karega’s anti-Semitic drivel–just like Trump’s anti-Muslim and anti-Mexican and anti-“Illegal”–motivates people who already agree with them to maim and kill. I also think the same’s always been true of bigots from the ancestors of people who came here to escape slaughter in their homelands versus people doing exactly the same thing right now, Whites against Blacks, Blacks against Whites, Protestants against Catholics and, too often, many of them all against the First People who were here long before there was a United States of America.

          However, if Karega says her abominations are the position of Oberlin College–whIch they obviously aren’t–she is, I think, slandering the College which means she could be sued

          Unfortunately, from what i’ve found online, libel and slander laws are a mish mosh from state to state, but that, to me would protect this and every other employer from legal action under the First Amendment.

          Obviously, I’m not an attorney. But my concern is that if OC fires Karega–or any other person for making bigoted postings against anyone else–that gives them an open road to a law suit allowing them more time on the bully pulpit.

          By my lights, colleges–ALL COLLEGES–would be better served by creating and requiring that ALL of their students take a course about bigotry just as many do mathematics.

          Bigots like Karega will never go away. The only thing we can do is teach people to recognize them for what they are and turn their backs to them.

          Forgive my ignorance, since I’m an European living in Europe so I don’t get full 24/7 coverage of what American Presidential Candidates Candidates say, but what did Trump say about Mexicans, illegals and muslims? I know he talked about securing the borders to prevent (or at least make it harder for) criminals from entering the US illegally from Mexico, and he called for a temporary halt of muslim immigration and tourism into the US until Americans can sort out who is a genuine asylum seeker or tourist and who’s a terrorist. None of those statements sound like drivel to me, so maybe I’m missing something?

        Exactly right. It was coined in 1879 by German agitator Wilhelm Marr when he founded the League of Antisemites. He had pseudo-scientific notions that there was a racial barrier to Jews fully assimilating into German society, that the Germans and Jews were locked in combat, the Jews were winning, and that if Jews weren’t removed, it would be the end of the German people. It’s just a pedantic form of old fashioned JUDENHASS.

      Slander of Jews is the problem. Unsubstantiated slander is not merely ‘criticism’: it is criminal libel.

      Joy Karega’s remarks are libelous. If she had said, ‘I disagree with the idea of Israel’, that would be the start of a reasoned argument. Her diatribe is about her far-out, paranoid conspiracy theory that Jews are the secret hand behind ISIS.

      Libelous slander like that of Karega has no place in academia. We are sensitive to unsubstantiated anti-Jewish libels because that’s how Hitler started his march to the holocaust.

      Sayingitlikeitis: You reveal your limitations more than you know (as Angemon has already indicated). The word “anti-Semitism” does NOT refer to an antipathy to those who speak a Semitic language like Arabic, Hebrew or Aramaic. Technically and in origin, the word “Semitic” is purely a linguistic term, but to use the genesis of this word as evidence of anti-Semitism, meaning hostility to any who speak a Semitic language, is simply stupid. It is to take high theory to an absurd degree, which is exactly what you have done, probably thinking all the while you’re correct and sapient in doing so. You are not.

      Grow up. Intellectually and emotionally.

      As for criticism of Arabs, I would contend they are the single most dysfunctional major people on the planet. Even many Arabs know this. For instance, Fouad Ajami, who wrote The Dream Palace of the Arabs. Yes, indeed, grow up all around because if what you have proffered so far you think constitutes true argument, you are indeed pathetic.

        But I agree about Arabs being a dysfunctional people – and very ironic how their neighbor Iran, for many centuries, was very progressive to the point where Jews were safe only under Persian rule and did not have to worry about being kicked around every which way.

        And with Islam being of Arab origin – it’s as regressive as it gets.

          In the Arab Gulf states, there are over 900 genetically-caused illness related to 50 generations of first-cousin marriages. All Gulf states now have compulsory genetic counselling for couples that apply for a marriage license. ‘Dysfunctional’ comes from massive Arab inbreeding, as well as from Islam’s loony teachings: a woman has half the value of a man, kafirs are the worst of beasts, camel urine is a medicine, and Arabs should take over the world, etc., etc.

      Are you not a clever fellow, seeking to put us all straight?. Your argument is both specious and fallacious. It is a known fact that the Arabs and Jews are semitic people, however the label semite has long been applied to Jews, especially by those wishing to impugn them with false history. So the current use of the word antisemitic is well understood and well established.
      You may recall that Hitler allied himself with the Arabs, because they were against the Jews, not because he had any affection for Islam. We all know what the Arabs and their faith are about which is established historical fact
      Robert Spencer is well aware of the facts and a very learned man, which is more than can be said of you.

    “This ‘freedom’ enables Oberlin’s faculty and students to THINK DEEPLY about and to engage in frank, open discussion of ideas that some may find deeply offensive. Those discussions — in classrooms, residence halls, libraries, and across our campus and town — take place every day here. They are a vital part of the important work of liberal arts education at Oberlin AND IN OUR COUNTRY,” he added….

At least, that’s following the logic of Mark Potok and the Sudden Poverty Lore Center. Or maybe that role belongs to the execrable Joy Karega, and you are ‘merely’ an accessory to an accessory.

    When they came for the communists, I said nothing…

    Would to God, Oberlin’s funders, those not enthralled by mo and his sock-puppet, would cut this worthless dreck adrift.

    I agree – Joy Karega should be free to think that Jews are behind any and every thing is she wants to do so. The College, however, should evaluate whether they want to have in their staff someone who seems completely detached from reality:

      The freedom of speech is not absolute in one’s workplace, even a college. If she professed support for the KKK, I bet she’d be out in a nanosecond.

      Islam is like the KKK writ large.

      Straightforward Nazi propaganda. Hitler and his cohorts blamed everything on the Jews, even though they were only 1% of the German population, they were going to destroy Germany, They were responsible for the defeat in WW1, even though 1000s of them fought in the German army and many won Iron Crosses as well. They also started WW2 in spite of the fact that Hitler’s invasion of Poland
      was based on a fake attack on a German radio station carried out by SS men in Polish uniforms.
      this was a war crime BTW but only the first of may far worse ones..

    I’m shocked at the weak response of President Krislov. Many Jews have questioned Zionism and some have had reasoned arguments with other Jews about it. Well and good.

    Zionism is ultimately a fair idea, because it is fair to all, including to Jews. Zionism is the non-discriminatory, secular idea that Jews should have their own country where discrimination against Jews won’t be the norm, as it is in many place like Oberlin. Some people think Jews should not have their own country. What’s fair about that? What’s fair about unsubstantiated slander?

    I believe Joy Karega could not defend her many unsubstantiated claims if she had to face off with a well-informed person…especially the paranoid speculation that Israel is in any way behind ISIS. Her diatribe printed above is a series of slanderous, unsubstantiated remarks.

    Academia should be a place for reasoned discourse, but Joy Karega’s diatribe is mere mud-slinging.

    Slander is saying something defamatory that is demonstrably untrue.

    Truly Sickening !! A Christian Liberal Arts College, Known for its Strong Anti Slavery Position and Desegregation : I bet the Revivalist Preacher Charles Finney (one of its Presidents) and its founders, Presbyterian Ministers Reverends John J Shipherd and Philo P. Stewart WOULD BE ROLLING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES !! Oh how the mighty have FALLEN !!! This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of THE CONSEQUENCES which follows from a Country which DRIFTS AWAY From its JUDAEO CHRISTIAN ROOTS AND HERITAGE !!! Here in Canada we Have BEEN ON THIS APOSTATE CRUISE FOR ALONG TIME . Though its QUESTIONABLE (unlike the U.S.!) IF CANADA REALLY EVEN HAS JUDAEO CHRISTIAN Roots and FOUNDATION ? Though its British and French ROOTS Provided SOME OF this as Did other Immigrants from the U.K. and Europe!!!

    Here are some other recent anti-Semites in academia:

    PROF. JASBIR PUAR

    First, reverberations continued around Rutgers Prof. Jasbir Puar’s fantastic talk at Vassar a few weeks ago, where she basically accused Israel of deliberately stunting the growth of Palestinians and then harvesting dead Palestinians’ organs, and those were the kinder thing she said. Prof. Puar has since gone radio silent, and in fact her scheduled appearance at Connecticut College was mysteriously cancelled.

    PROF. PAAVO KINNUNEN

    Then there was this next raving lunatic, whose brain has clearly been damaged by evil Zio-Jews (or, more likely, frozen by the bitter tundra winds where he lives). The Facebook page of Prof. Paavo Kinnunen of Aalto University in Finland makes Prof. Puar look like a Jew-lover in comparison. (He also shares her obsession with the blood libeling Jews-harvesting-organs meme; they’re clearly drinking the same kool-aid.) The thing is, after a small uproar began over his posts—in the thin climate up there uproars can only get so loud—he scrubbed his page. The better thing is (if the page is still up when you read this), the posts he chose to leave behind still make Prof. Puar look good in comparison. These are the ones he apparently thinks are acceptable in polite society.

    But the GOOD NEWS IS…

    BDS failed at McGill for the third time in the last 18 months, and fourth time since 2009. (Yes, we know: it will be back next year ….)

    Best of all, the Principal of McGill followed the results with a blistering statement against BDS.

      What excellent news about McGill. It’s cheering to know that 57% of the students are possessed of common sense and decency. Three cheers for the 57% !

      By the way, it’s great fun to go on the bds fb page, and inundate them with articles about Israeli inventions/innovations et al. I always add a thank you for the list of Israeli products they want to boycott – makes it so much easier to buy Israeli ! 🙂

    Freedom of speech includes hate speech. It is the speech that leads to violence that should be banned.

    Can somebody help me? The picture doesn’t seem to make sense. Shouldn’t it be Netanyahu putting on an ISIS mask and not the other way around in order to make sense?

      Yep, I had the same feeling.

        Actually, taking off ans ISIS mask.

    Oberlin College president won’t fire prof who spews anti-Semitic hate, invokes freedom of speech
    ……………………

    The image above is simply grotesque–the idea that Israel and Netanyahu are behind the JIhad terror attacks on France.

    It also makes no sense–are they saying Israel is behind every atrocity ISIS commits–somehow behind all the beheadings and enslavement and genocide of the Islamic State?

    Besides, it is perfectly in line with all the other 27.933 Jihad terror attacks committed all over the world, and nothing like the philosophy or actions of Israel

    Like most “Truther” claims, it simply does not stand up to the least scrutiny.

    Institutions, universities, jails, prisons, and mental institutions, used to have ‘standards’…But someone left the door open and in rushed social workers, community organizers, social engineers, and lawyers…They still have standards but they are now based on political correctness…

    Tales from the abyss…a true story…Free speak is bit always appropriate,,,A news reader on a local radio station gave a five minute talk about how sex with a woman, the night before, who’s body didn’t turn him on
    was the best he ever had….. Naturally, every feminist in town stormed the station wanting his scalp…It was an exercise in free speech, but was it appropriate? Some people wanted to hear more about his sex life…
    It was news to them that he even had one of those…

    But will Oberlin accept a professor that preached against Blacks, Gays, Muslims Hispanics or even Muslims?

  17. Atheist Kaffur says

    Mar 5, 2016 at 9:24 am

    I’m glad someone evoked the first amendment, the defense of free speech. I just hope they can take it as well as they dish it out. The major difference is that this professor is spewing falsehoods that need to be proven. Where as Islam is fighting free speech because of truths that Islam doesn’t want to be known.

    I feel for the president of the University but unfortunately hurt feelings don’t have rights. However people do have the right to rebuttal this opinion with historical events and obvious facts. Fight Political Islam. It is nothing but theocratic Fascism.

    Joy (to the world) Karega could also say:

    The so-called “Academic Freedom” was invented by Jews.

    The wheel was invented by Jews and so were airplanes.

    Rain was invented by Jews and so was sunshine.

    Islam was in vented by Jews and so was Judaism.

    Joy Karega may blame Jews for everything —
    the good and the beautiful, but mostly the bad and the ugly !!!!
    So give her a chance — she’s just at her infantile stage.

  20. Lynne Marton says

    Mar 6, 2016 at 6:38 pm

    Why do you choose to defend this assistant professor’s – Joy Karega’s – blatant antisemitic posts and remarks, that cover her FB page – there is absolutely no defense for her!! She needs to be FIRED!!!! There is no place in an educational institute for that kind of subversion. You quote the usual lines about “freedom of expression”, etc, but this is NOT freedom of expression – and you, Marvin Krislov, bring a practising Jew yourself, must know that this is pure Jew-hatred! How can you allow that in the college in which you are President??? Not to mention, of course, the message that it sends out to all your students – Jews and non-Jews! Oberlin College has lost much of its “prestige” at this point!! This antisemite must go – the sooner the better!
