What do you mean enforced ideological conformity? "Extensively discussed in the documentary “Columbia Unbecoming” and in national media reports, Professor Massad has been quoted as comparing Israelis to Nazis and Prime Minister Sharon’s cultural views to those of Joseph Goebbels. I wonder about that documentary......it was prepared by the Israelis. I find it hard to believe they were allowed in his classroom to film. Are the above direct quotes or hearsay? He has reportedly refused to allow students to dispute his allegations of Israeli atrocities in class." If its true, then its wrong but you know what, Tim, I think its more BS. Every time I check these things out closely, it turns out that the offensive comments were taken out of context or exaggerated. Columbia is an excellent institution. I doubt that they would allow an untenured professor who suffers from megalomania to stay on staff. Would you not agree? I also noted that it got taken out of the classroom when an Israeli group did a video exposé on Massad. Frankly, I find that almost as offensive as what Massad said. Why? WTF? I can't believe you are asking me this question.......Mr. Sovereignty. When did we start allowing foreign nationals to do videos of our classrooms and then criticize the professor in question? It seems the right forgets........we are not Israelis. They are not the 51st state. I don't believe you asked that question.........that video is such an obvious violation of our business.
