Sorry for the lack of posting. I was in South Lake Tahoe for the weekend, and then just plain busy after that.
Tahoe was incredible. The weather was flawless, the scenery gorgeous and the company outstanding. I've been to South Lake every year of my life since I was born, and I love it just as much if not more every time.
In other news, I wholeheartedly agree with Kevin's assessment of Governor Davis' message to UC President Atkinson. This Anti-Semitism is not the fault of the university in any direct way, but rather a symptom of the university's laissez-faire attitude toward the activities of certain student groups that foster Anti-Semitism amongst members. This is not to say that SJP or ISO are intentionally anti-semitic, but it would be naive to suggest that either of those organization on this campus as a whole are void of anti-semitic members.
I hope the Chancellor cracks down on ethnic hatred and racism of all kinds and realizes that letting people like the Wheeler Group go free with barely a touch on the wrist, or to allow Snehal Shingavi to continue teaching without even a formal censure is counter-productive and makes it seem like the university is complicit with these anti-semitic undercurrents.
Those're just my thoughts. Godspeed.
