5 More Terrible Things Brooklyn’s “Blackface Assemblyman” Has Done
Last month, he called on the president of Brooklyn College to resign—which is funny, because I had done the same thing in 2011, when she allowed pressure from Hikind to lead her to fire a professor whose academic credentials were insufficiently pro-Israel. This time around, Gould refused to disallow the school’s political science department to host a forum supporting the BDS—boycott, divestment and sanction—movement against Israel. For Hikind, this was an unforgivable outrage. Bloomberg, an avowed supporter of Israel, responded differently. “If you want to go to a university where the government decides what kind of subjects are fit for discussion, I suggest you apply to a school in North Korea.” [photo]
