No, I’ve worked in academia for a decade, and we have always had mandatory sensitivity training for racism and sexual harassment. How is including antisemitism any different? Unless you just don’t think Jews are deserving of equal treatment.

You probably know this and you're playing ignorant, but the training is not about antisemitism, it's indoctrination to support apartheid and genocide I've read some of your other replies and they're filled with misinformation and lies—distressing coming from someone "in academia"

Northwestern spewing war criminal propaganda is not a good look.

Made to watch something against your desire will have the opposite of the desired effect. It’s like being made to swallow raw, unflavoured, cod liver oil. It will just cause nausea.

I believe anti-Semitism is a major problem on college campuses. I also think forcing kids to watch a political video is the textbook definition of woke, of shrill HR lady cancel culture, and no one minds because the right is doing it instead of the left.

BOYCOTT NORTHWESTERN. Just like during the Vietnam War, students learn in a heartbeat that universities stand with the fascists and suck up to The Man. Stay strong students.

Based on antisemites should not be allowed in campus. But also stupid people who are afraid to watch a video don’t need to go to college.
