Stanford Professor Ameer Hasan Loggins suspended from Stanford University after ordering Jewish students to raise their hands and sit in the corner in public shaming over the “oppression of Palestinians”.
A lecturer at Stanford University has been suspended after he allegedly forced Jewish students to stand in a corner while labeling them as “colonizers.” He also praised and justified the recent terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas, referring to the jihadist group as “freedom fighters.”
”His Pedagogy is Dope,” the magazine quoted in an Instagram post.
According to The Forward, the instructor has been suspended for “identity-based targeting” of students.
“We have received a report of a class in which a non-faculty instructor is reported to have addressed the Middle East conflict in a manner that called out individual students in class based on their backgrounds and identities. Without prejudging the matter, this report is a cause for serious concern. Academic freedom does not permit the identity-based targeting of students,” Stanford University said in a statement.
”I was waiting to post this until it was confirmed by multiple sources I trust,” Shaun Maguire posted on X naming Hasan Loggins. “These are 1930s vibes.”
Rabbi Dov Greenberg told The Forward that the traumatized students told him that the instructor explained to them that “Hamas is a legitimate representation of the Palestinian people. They are not a terrorist group. They are freedom fighters. Their actions are legitimate.”
Students told the San Francisco Chronicle that the professor, who has been identified as Ameer Hasan Loggins, opened two classes on Tuesday by stating that the day’s lesson would focus on “colonialism.” He then proceeded to blame the current conflict on “Zionists” and justified last weekend’s terrorist attacks that left more than 1,300 Israelis and at least 27 Americans dead, stating that they were a necessary part of “the resistance.”
The teacher then asked Jewish students to identify themselves before ordering them to stand in a corner, stating that this is what they were doing to Palestinians, said Nourya Cohen, a co-president of Stanford’s Israeli Student Association. “He asked how many Jews died in the Holocaust,” Cohen said. When one student said six million, the professor said, “Yes. Only six million.”
“Colonizers killed more than 6 million. Israel is a colonizer,” the lecturer reportedly said.
