As campuses continue to roil over the Israel-Hamas war, one message from administrators and lawmakers remains consistent: Student protest is a sign of moral failure. Columbia University suspended Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace as official student groups until the end of term.
Harvard evicted a student from campus housing for serving as a safety marshal at a recent protest. At the University of Pennsylvania, in response to student protesters projecting phrases like “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “from West Philly to Palestine, occupation is a crime” onto campus buildings, President Liz Magill issued a statement calling the messages “vile,” “antisemitic,” “reprehensible,” and “hateful,” insisting that they were instances of “cowardice” that had “no place” at the university.
Her message echoed sentiments expressed by a vice provost at Penn, Ezekiel J. Emanuel, in The New York Times, decrying the “moral obliviousness” of students, and insisting that educators have “failed to give them the ethical foundation and moral compass to recognize the basics of humanity.”

We used to call it ethnocentrism. Only reality is ethnic identity. False. False and very dangerous.
