THIS WEEK IN PROGRESSIVE LUNACY: Professor Leads Campus Protest Wearing 'Muslim Yellow Star'
Because wanting to temporarily halt Muslim immigration is the same as marking Jews for death.

A religious studies professor at the University of San Diego gathered at least 100 other faculty and students to join her in silently protesting what she considered anti-Muslim rhetoric coming from Republican candidates. But in doing so, the group went completely over the top by misappropriating the yellow badges forced onto Jews before the Holocaust and wore similar stars inscribed with "Muslim" and a crescent moon.
According to the Times of San Diego, Bahar Davary is an associate professor of theology and religious studies. The idea for the badges was birthed in her introduction to Islam course "Islamic Faith and Practice" with the help of her students. From the Times:
“What it symbolizes is that there have been people who have been made to be the ‘other’ throughout history,” said Davary, an Iranian-American whose academic specialty at the Catholic university is Islam…
“It’s not only Trump. It’s not only Ben Carson,” Davary said. “There have been anti-Muslim actions taking place. In some ways it’s frightening.”
Davary was careful to instruct that the protest was to remain on campus for fear that it could be "misunderstood" as the report notes:
For now, it’s a campus protest only. She advises her students not to wear the stars off campus in case the meaning is misunderstood.
And for that kind gesture, her heart grew three sizes bigger.
