More Anti-Semitism At Florida Atlantic University- Noor Fawzy Gets Prestigious Award

Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, has been party to some major controversies recently- from the "Jesus-stomping" incident, to anti-Semitic activities, to professor James Tracey's loony conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook and the Boston Marathon bombing, to naming the stadium after the for-profit prison corporation GEO Group, which fell through after major protests.
President Mary Jane Saunders was even forced to step down after all the flak. We can now add one more to the bucket full of missteps: honoring the leader of Students for Justice in Palestine, Noor Fawzy, with the very prestigious 2013 Wimberly award. Only one student receives the award per year.

Political Science Major Noor Fawzy received FAU’s 2013 Stan and Renee Wimberly Scholar award, the most prestigious student academic prize given by the university. It is awarded in recognition of outstanding academic achievement, along with evidence of leadership, campus involvement and community service.

Way to go, FAU.

Video Exposes Florida University (FAU) Anti-Semitic Extremism

In response to the rampant  anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activity on the campus of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, Alan Bergstein (in association with Tom Trento's The United West) has put together a video exposing the extremist activities of the Students for Justice In Palestine (SJP). What irks Bergstein the most is that FAU has failed to condemn SJP's activities (including posting mock eviction notices on dorm rooms last year), while at the same time acknowledging that SJP has the right to do so. Freedom of speech, and all that.

The video is meant to persuade potential students and donors that they might want to choose another university to either attend or donate to.  Naturally, there are many who are outraged by this video, but - freedom of speech, and all that.
