Not a Jew, praise God!
Chaim Amalek: “Social control can win the day. Accused racists (and an accusation is as good as trial and conviction in this matter) should be shamed, stripped of health and other social benefits, and then rendered both unemployed and unemployable.”
Today, all of our students receive sensitivity training to help them better understand and respect each other. There is a new university Vice President for the University Community. There is a new academic department of Native American Students. Each college has a multicultural director reporting directly to the deans. Minority freshman enrollment went up by 8% and African American freshman enrollment went up by 10%.
We are still a work in progress, but we are determined to send a message to the rest of America that zero tolerance is the only way to stop the cancer of racism. Each of us has an individual responsibility to speak out every single time we encounter discrimination and racist remarks. We cannot remain silent. Often we say to ourselves, “Why can’t we all just love and respect each other?” We can—but it’s up to each one of us to take action.
