who are then texted by Trump and asked if they are Jewish.
Akela Lacy of The Intercept broke the story. “‘The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister,’ said Barnard associate professor Debbie Becher, who is Jewish and received the text. “’They are clearly targeting what most of the United States, I hope and I think, defines as freedom of speech, but only in the case of anti-Israeli speech.'”
Sharon Otterman reports in The New York Times: “Nara Milanich, a Barnard history professor, said it reminded her of her research into 1930s Italy, when lists of Jews were put together by the local government. ‘We’ve seen this movie before, and it ends with yellow stars,’ she said.'”
Barnard has committed a serious beach of privacy rights. In for a penny, in for a pound: as Barnard-Columbia continues to collaborate with Trump, he continues to withhold their funding. These joint administrations are actively participating their own debasement by Trump.
