UPenn Pres Goes from Suicide Bomber Posing to Die In

Here’s a thought. Maybe the next president of the University of Pennsylvania should be an adult.
Amy Gutmann, president of UPenn, thought it was hilarious some years back to pose with a student dressed as a suicide bomber.
The Zionist Organization of America has strongly criticized Dr. Amy Gutmann, President of the University of Pennsylvania, for not only allowing entrance to her Halloween party of Saad Saadi, a guest dressed as an Arab suicide bomber; but also posing with him for a photograph. Photographs mounted on Saadi’s website show him wearing a Palestinian Arab keffiyat (headress), a plastic dynamite belt strapped to his chest and a toy machine gun. Saadi carrying out a mock killing of a hostage while supposedly reading from the Quran, and posing with a young child pointing a toy gun, entitled ‘Influencing a future Muhajideen’ (Democracy Project, November 2).
These days, Amy Gutmann is still striking racist poses.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, members of UPenn’s campus police who were working the party were “outraged” by Gutmann’s actions.
“I am appalled that the president of this fine university would give in to the pressures of the uninformed mob mentality surrounding the Michael Brown case and participate in a ‘die-in,’” Eric Rohrback, president of the UPenn police officers’ union, told the Inquirer. “It is a slap in the face to every person that wears this uniform and serves this university.”
However, UPenn’s vice president for public safety, Maureen Rush, told the Inquirer that Gutmann’s actions were not meant to slight campus police.
“I can assure you that her laying on the ground was not solidarity against police,” Rush, who is a former Philadelphia police officer, said. “It was solidarity with students who are expressing their personal opinions.”
Whatever that means. As die ins go, that’s more of a glamor shot.
