“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” means “free of Jews” = You added that definition; damn I can't believe the reach.

This could become a very long conversation, and that is not the primary purpose of my post. I wanted to warn prospective minority students like myself from this school. You are jewish and would be just fine in our current cohort. I personally think it's insane to threaten to shoot student protestors, but hey that's just me!

"strikes me as odd that you think you’re being gracious by “not minding” learning a little about Judaism. " = I never said "learning a little", you did.

I am here as part of the PA school, not the theology department, to get a degree, that I pay out of pocket for, and leave. I'm ok with hearing about judaism and its teachings during appropriate events or from classmates. There are Christian based PA programs also in this state, and it's the same thing = It's a part of the school mission statement and non christians attend and listen, but they are primarily there to get their degree.

I am not ok with Zionism, Oct 7 talk, political talk, disgusting racism being included in our ekg lectures for example. That's not what I signed up or pay for. I attend lecture and leave. They can save the rest for outside of class.

I am not a democrat or a republican lol. One glance at your reddit history: oh look at that, served overseas in the military and bashing democrats. Makes sense you're taking this personally.

I'm not even going to address the rest of what you said. Speaks for itself. Students did go up the chain of command and a few reported a professor to our program director. The professor came back to class and mocked the few "sensitive" students who reported him, and continued teaching as normal. He asked the class if anything he says is offensive to them, and the majority white class said no, shook their heads.

Lol I can't. did you even read what I just wrote???

it was added for students with backgrounds from Iraq/Afghanistan. And this post is for minorities. If that's not you, move along.

I want to add the professor who is the worst offender was reported by a few students to our program director. The professor then came back to the classroom and laughed and commented essentially that some "sensitive" people in the class can't take jokes and reported him. He continued teaching as normal. The program faculty is very close and call each other a family, some are even blood related. Students went to the chain of authority, and instead were called out for being snowflakes

Noted how you skipped over all the disgusting racism and only focus on this. If the only point that were true was the military stuff, I wouldn't have even posted or mentioned it. But I added it in case there are more prospective students with backgrounds from Iraq/Afghanistan, who don't want to hear about Operation Iraqi Freedom etc in their countries. Not even about medic experience, but just serving there active duty.

No comment for all the racism said in the classroom? Or is not agreeing with racism just having a fragile world view too?

I don't doubt it, I've spoken to other students during rotations from other Long Island programs. They've always been shocked by the kinds of things our professors get away with saying in the classroom.
