“A significant number of the graduating class rose to the podium to accept their degree carrying Palestine flags and banners denouncing Israel and calling for its destruction”
The Deborah Project filed a complaint on Sept. 9 against Haverford College, accusing the Pennsylvania school of “doubling down on every policy at issue” in a lawsuit filed back in May that alleges that the school has exercised ongoing neglect in relation to campus anti-Semitism.that Haverford’s handling of anti-Semitism is more troubling than other schools, voicing concerns that the college favors rule-breakers over rule-followers.
“What’s different at Haverford—there’s more of an informed support for allowing what we’re complaining about at the school. It’s very much about free speech, except at the same time, microaggressions are policed carefully. It’s really truly a double standard,” Marcus said.
“A significant number of the graduating class rose to the podium to accept their degree carrying Palestine flags and banners denouncing Israel and calling for its destruction,” the complaint reads. “President Raymond and the other College administrators conducting the graduation ceremony politely paused the ceremony for each such student, granting the student time to unfurl and display his or banner, before continuing to call the next student to receive his or he degree.
The complaint also states that, “If a student had ascended the podium with a Confederate flag, or with the symbol of any political movement with which she disagreed, Raymond would not have cheerfully and politely accepted it.”
