“We can’t be surprised that Jew hatred is being normalized.” [Darleen Click]
Again, so-called anti-Zionism as a very thin figleaf for anti-Semitism. The most telling comment about the story of a Stanford University student who was quizzed about her Jewish faith when she tried to run for office came from her friend and campaign manager. Molly Horwitz, a Stanford junior, was running for the Student Senate and her campaign manager and friend Miriam Pollock told her what she had to do. According

Lies, damn lies and #EqualPayDay [Darleen Click]
Even my local ‘news’ radio station, KNX 1070, read the usual political press release with the 78cents to $1 “wage gap” … Mistakes this big are not innocent. How many times have you heard that, for the same work, women receive 77 cents for every dollar a man earns? This alleged unfairness is the basis for the annual Equal Pay Day observed each year about mid-April to symbolize how far

My school was ostensibly all about freedom of expression. In our mandatory 5-hour diversity awareness training, we were each asked what pronouns we prefer to use when describing ourselves.
