2011 Prof
Ullman
Stanford Professor Ullman needs to be held fully accountable for his
inflammatory and racist comments he made to Iranian students seeking admission
to Stanford University. To hold all Iranian students responsible for the utter
folly of their government is patently absurd. Do we hold all Americans
responsible for the policies of our government? Has Ullman forgotten the
enormous courage of Iranian students who risked their lives to protest the
brutal repression of their government and its opposition to democracy? Surely
these students need our vigorous support so that they can enjoy our democratic
system and help bring about desirable social reform in Iran. To broad brush
members of the National American Iranian Council (NIAC) as ‘enemies of Israel’
boycotting Israeli products’ is irresponsible and borders on the delusional.
Stanford President Hennessy’s defense of Ullman was tepid and inadequate. One
can only imagine the outrage if a faculty member made anti-Semitic comments!
Professor Ullman should be fired.
