The insightful column by Robert Kaufman (“The tragic indoctrination of Rachel Corrie,” June 25) should concern us all.
It is disconcerting to know that Evergreen State College in Olympia, a state-funded institution, has turned into a private playground by radical anti-Israel faculty. Jewish students should not be allowed to be intimidated by this type of faculty.
Why do the leaders at the campus Hillel not stand up for Israel? I fail to understand their timidity in not wanting pro-Israel programming brought to the campus. The pro-Israel voice should not be silenced at Evergreen.
Hopefully, something can be done to get this college to hire faculty who encourage free debate by students without promoting an anti-Israel bias that poisons education there.
