In fact it wouldn&#039;t surprise me at all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the &quot;core texts of the Christian tradition&quot; were used to persecute Jews, as Herf claims, it could have only been by distorting them to the point of breaking. Someone hit reply and include some links if I am overlooking something. Thanks you.


And yes, Herf seems quite right in the main thrust of his piece. Thanks to FPM for publishing it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All woman faculty at Brandeis and their daughters should all witness genital mutilation in young girls.  Perhaps that might wake them up!

What a disgrace this university has become.  The places on this planet that are most hostile to woman, gays, other faiths.  Literally the only places on earthy where SLAVERY is still practiced...have one thing in common they are run by Islamist based government.   Every thing liberals stand for runs afoul of Islamist States.  (Lady faculty try traveling without a man to Saudi Arabia and on top of that renting a car).

Sadly all the useful idiots that make up the 85 professors who signed that letter are the enemy of the views they supposedly ascribe.]]></description>

And you think criticism of Brandeis is illegitimate simply because YOU think no one should given an honorary degree?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am horrified at the behaviour of what I had always thought was a serious university. 
I retract that view following your withdrawal of the hon Phd to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She is against FGM and lot more practices that are linked mostly in error with Islam. She is right on all counts. Your mistake not to see this. Do you actually have any &quot;core values&quot; at Brandeis? Presumably you would resist honouring Malala, the fantastic 16 year old girl shot in the face by the Taliban for wanting education for women. What a bunch of wimps you lot must be. Get a backbone and get real about who the good guys are. Firing your president would be a good start.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you Professor Herf for protesting the intolerance at Brandeis.  Of course, the intolerance of any view  not in accord with the dictates of the German historical school--mistakenly called &quot;Progressivism&quot; in the United States-- and its sister faith, Marxism, at American universities is not new.  In the late 1980s Brooklyn College, where I work, denied Brooklyn&#039;s Bishop Francis Mugavero an honorary degree because many in the faculty disagreed with his views on abortion.  More recently, the New York Times opined that CUNY Trustee Jeffrey Wiesenfeld should be fired because, as part of an academic review process, he argued that anti-Israel bigot Tony Kushner should be denied an honorary degree.  The Times, which also covered the Mugavero story, had no trouble with denying his honorary degree.  In contrast to its handling of the Mugavero story, The Times claimed that Wiesenfeld violated Kushner&#039;s academic freedom, even though Kushner is not an academic.  The Times held that Wisenfeld, who was expressing his views within the context of an academic review process, should be fired.  Illogical argument and self-contradiction have always characterized the German historical school and the Marxists, whose ideas have repeatedly failed and continue to fail today.  The chief devices the totalitarians have to defend their views are suppressive, and that includes the bigoted suppression of victims like Ayaan Hirsi Ali.]]></description>
