What would cause a professor to risk losing lifetime tenure? At UNC-Chapel Hill, professors are risking their jobs by threatening to withhold grades until the school ends the suspensions of anti-Israel student protestors. The professors’ actions reveal how ideology has warped American higher education. Professors have taught neo-Marxist ideology that ranks groups on a scale of “oppression” for decades. This ideology produced the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic views espoused by today’s protestors. As a Middle Eastern Studies major at Harvard in the 1990s, I never heard the Israeli side of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. And though Hamas was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent Palestinians, I was simply taught that Israel was the oppressor.
