Professor Joy Karega of Oberlin College was criticized early this year for sharing Facebook postings that, among other things, claimed that “Israeli and Zionist Jews” were responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, and for the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris in 2015.
Karega, whose academic interests include black political and protest literacies as well as social justice writing, also wrote that the Islamic State is not “a jihadist, Islamic terrorist organization” but rather “an operation” of the CIA and Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad. And she said Israel had brought down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 widely believed to have been shot down by Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine.
It took eight months to fire this person, a process that should take five minutes. Can you believe that colleges think these kind of people should be teaching our children and we should be paying $50,000 a year for the privilege? Surely someone this dysfunctional should have failed her hiring interview.
