Calling falafel an “Israeli” food is “culturally insensitive,” said the University at Buffalo Student Association. The College Fix reports:
Trouble began when the student government posted on Instagram about an International Food Fiesta going on this week. Day 4 included Middle Eastern and North Africa food. After each food, the student association wrote where the dishes are from, including a Palestinian and Ghanaian restaurant.
Next to falafel bar, the student association wrote “Israeli.”
That post reportedly drew backlash from pro-Palestinian activists, leading the student association to delete the graphic and remake it without indication of where the food came from.
In a follow-up post, the student association apologized for the “culturally insensitive” and “offensive” descriptions….
Commentators mocked the student government’s groveling.
“I can attest that Israelis do, in fact, eat falafel,” Professor David Bernstein wrote on X.
An experienced teacher in Ontario was punished by an education school for saying that Halloween costumes that borrow from other cultures aren’t a big deal (woke people say that such costumes constitute the offense of “cultural appropriation”). Experienced teachers go back to education school to increase their incomes, even though education schools teach absurd nonsense and left-wing ideology.
A university in Wisconsin investigated a student who wore an “undocumented alien” costume with a sombrero, even though the student himself was Hispanic.
