UCLA doesn’t care that anti-Semites are blocking Jewish students from attending classes

One might think that there is no need to explain to universities that they cannot allow students to be excluded from classes because of their religion. If the University of California, Los Angeles is any example, you would be wrong.

Three Jewish students sued UCLA after “pro-Palestinian” (read: pro-Hamas) protesters prevented them from walking to classes or other areas of campus. This blatant anti-Semitic discrimination should not be tolerated anywhere, much less at a public university.

And yet UCLA argued that it was not responsible for any of this because the protesters did not work for the university. UCLA was not blocking classes, the university said, so it should not be held responsible for anything. According to the university, it shouldn’t even have to. attempt To ensure that students who pay up to $43,000 in tuition each year can attend classes or even walk around campus without being forcibly prevented from doing so by hateful bigots, UCLA believes it has No responsibility which to prevent people from taking control of the campus and deciding who can walk where.

Such a claim is patently ridiculous, and U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi ruled against the university, noting that “UCLA may not permit services to some students when it knows that other students are excluded on religious grounds, regardless of who designed the exclusion.”

Scarsi highlighted repeated instances of anti-Semites violating university rules at protests after the initial illegal encampment that UCLA allowed to remain for a week before giving law enforcement the green light to dismantle it.

Public universities should not need a judge to tell them this. The moment anti-Semites or any other bigots begin discriminating against students and preventing them from moving around a campus they pay for is the moment law enforcement should be called in. UCLA should have been quick in its punishment of the students who participated in these “protests” and supported the clampdown on outsiders who invaded the UCLA campus.

UCLA’s pusillanimous liberal leadership empowered anti-Semites to take control of the campus. is It is their responsibility. Turning their backs on loud, hateful activists in an attempt to avoid conflict is unacceptable, both morally and legally. The UCLA leadership should be replaced in its entirety by people who truly recognize that anti-Semitism and discrimination should not be tolerated because the current group of “leaders” have clearly failed in their duty.
