Cmte. on Education and the Workforce: Rep Foxx opened by covering the issues. @BobbyScott responded with distractions: pretending Islamophobia an equal problem on campus, and wondering why there was no hearing on Charlottesville which was anything but a national crisis.
Pres. Claudine Gay @Harvard finally condemned Hamas without equivocation, but equated open bigotry vs Jews with "concerns" in the Arab & Muslim community. She's not facing the problem.

If you want to understand whether the @nytimes is at all interested in honesty, or only here for the #Antisemitic bigotry, wait for the coming article, after their reporter is rightfully ratioed for his obsession & also provided with overwhelmingly positive stories to report.
