“That a Jewish university would elevate an elected official who is complicit in such abuses is both morally indefensible and deeply irresponsible.”

Well, the rhetoric’s grand for sure, but as UD reads the letter from fifty Yeshiva University faculty protesting the school’s bestowal of its highest honor on Elise Stefanik, she’s gotta ask the signers: Do you know where you teach?

Do you recall – it wasn’t long ago – that Bernard Madoff was your BOT‘s treasurer, Ezra Merkin an equally honored campus VIP, and to this day Ira Rennert and Zygi Wilf remain high-profile, influential, beloved, donors? Do you know that by far the largest bloc in America voting for Trump was orthodox Jews? Have you noticed that, right after the courts forced Yeshiva to allow a gay club, the school found a way to shut it down?

I mean so nu it’s always nice to protest, but why don’t you try getting a job at a reputable school?
