Salem on the Thames : Moral Panic, Anti-Zionism, and the Triumph of Hate Speech at Connecticut College Paperback / softback
by Richard Landes
Part of the Antisemitism in America series
Paperback / softback
Description
In the Spring of 2015, a post-modern version of the Salem witchcraft trials took place at Connecticut College on the Thames River.
Only this time instead of sorcery it was Zionism; instead of punishing in the name of God's law it was in the name of anti-hate speech and inclusive excellence; instead of young teenage girls leading the hysteria it was college-aged social warriors stampeding 200 professors into sacrificing one of their colleagues, and thereby contributing to a wave of administration-promoted hate-speech at their college.The Pessin affair offers us a case study in a tendency towards "public shaming" that not only deeply compromises the integrity of academia, but increasingly spreads to many aspects of our society, so susceptible to media-driven feeding frenzies.
