Brooklyn College Professor Dismissed For Views on Israel
 

Freedom of speech; another American delusion. Casualty of another Jew
politician - gosh what a shock!

Democracy Now reports:
"Brooklyn College in New York City is coming under criticism for
dismissing an adjunct professor after a local politician claimed the
professor was biased against Israel. Kristofer Petersen-Overton was
let go last week, one day after New York Democratic State Assemblyman
Dov Hikind complained about the professor’s politics. Petersen-Overton
said he was dismissed before he even had a chance to teach his first
class, a graduate seminar on Middle East politics."

Kristofer Petersen-Overton: “It seemed that one of the students in the
class googled me and took objection to some of the political stances
I’ve taken in the past vis-a-vis the Israeli, Palestinian conflict.
They expressed these concerns to the head of the department, he asked
her to wait until the class actually began before continuing to
complain; unfortunately she didn’t. She started spreading this around
on the blogs and quite quickly in fact, disturbingly fast, a campaign
to vilify me was spread all over the internet.”
