It was stunning to watch Ivy League presidents lapse into confusion when asked at a Congressional hearing whether calling for genocide against Jews would be acceptable on their campuses.
One doesn’t need to be a highly educated university president to know that genocide — the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular group with the aim of destroying that group — is always unacceptable.
So it wasn’t surprising when five Liberal MPs, led by Montreal MP Anthony Housefather, announced in early December they were sending a letter to 25 university presidents in Canada to see how they’d handle the question.
What debates on campus?
