Eli Eisenbach for Lakewood School Board: Standing Up Against Hate at Rutgers University
Lakewood, NJ – Eli Eisenbach, candidate for the Lakewood Board of Education, issued the following statement in response to Rutgers University's deeply troubling selection of a commencement speaker with a record of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric:
"Rutgers University's decision to platform individuals who promote hate and division is an insult to the Jewish community and to all who value decency and respect. As a proud member of the Lakewood community, I am outraged. Rutgers must immediately reverse this disgraceful decision and apologize to the countless students and families they have offended."
"Under my leadership, we will fight to protect our rights and ensure that no institution funded by our tax dollars can become a safe haven for anti-Semitism. I will use every tool available to pressure Rutgers to act responsibly, including exploring options to pull funding if this shameful behavior does not stop."
"Lakewood deserves leaders who will not stay silent when our community is under attack. I will stand strong against hate, discrimination, and the marginalization of our values — on campus, in our schools, and throughout New Jersey."
Eli Eisenbach calls on all community leaders, elected officials, and concerned citizens to join him in demanding immediate action from Rutgers University and to stand united against the normalization of hatred in our public institutions.
Send Neturei Karta (and maybe Rav Hirsch) to join the Rutgers speaker.
ReplyDeleteI too call on Rutgers to do the right thing.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Eli think he is of the stature to call upon, and why are the press picking up on it? Even if elected to the Lakewood board, he has no say on Rutgers in any way.
What does our local assemblyman say
ReplyDeleteOur assemblyman is busy lowering our tuition and doesnt have time to deal with this matter.
