Boston College gives course credit for anti-Israel 'activism'

My father graduated from Boston College and its law school. Perhaps this will convince him to stop trying to donate money to his alma mater.

Carl - If only universities in Israel were markedly better, then you might have asked your father to direct his donations there. Is the college in Ariel any good?
At 4:46 AM, NormanF said...: I received a liberal arts education. Today's students are likely to receive the exact opposite. A higher education nowadays is hazardous to your children's moral and intellectual health.
At 6:34 AM, Batya said...: All in the name of "accademic freedom" I guess.
We have to develop an organization like NIF's Shatil.
At 7:08 AM, Carl in Jerusalem said...: LB,

Ariel is better than most.

Name: Carl in Jerusalem

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
