Rutgers Prof Whitewashes Genocide of Hindus, Rutgers Calls It ‘Academic Freedom’https://pjmedia.com/culture/robert-spencer/2021/03/11/rutgers-prof-whitewashes-genocide-of-hindus-rutgers-calls-it-academic-freedom-n1431768Hindu students at Rutgers University recently introduced a petition asking Rutgers University to take action against South Asian History Professor Audrey Truschke because of “the bigotry being peddled against Hindus via continued derision of our religion, our deities, and our sacred texts.†Truschke, said the petition, “falsely linked Hindus with extremists and white supremacists rioting at Capitol Hill; claimed that the Bhagavad Gita, a central Hindu sacred text, ‘rationalizes mass slaughter’ and violenceâ€; “Whitewashed Hindu genocide by Mughal king Aurangzeb (death toll of 4.6 million)â€; and much more. But Rutgers, knowing who the protected victim classes are and who they aren’t, waved away the petitioners by claiming a commitment to “academic freedom.†Sure, and the sun sets in a muddy pool near Los Angeles.
OpIndia reported Tuesday that Rutgers released a statement declaring: “Rutgers emphatically supports Professor Truschke, academic freedom in pursuing her scholarship, abhors the vile messages and threats that are being directed at her, and calls for an immediate end to them.â€
Well, if Rutgers' Indian students didn't realize they are an un-PC second-class ethnic minority, maybe this will unblind some eyes.
