ViacomCBS ‘Terminating Its Relationship’ With Nick Cannon After Anti-Semitic Comments

Posted by Mary Chastain on July 15, 2020 21 Comments

ViacomCBS dropped Nick Cannon after he tried to spread anti-Semitic conspiracies on his podcast. The company said it "troubled" them because he "failed to acknowledge or apologize" for his actions. However, Cannon told Fast Company that he "can’t wait to sit down with" rabbis who contacted him about his remarks. He wants them to educate him and have an open dialogue about the topic. Cancelling him ends the chance to educate not just Cannon, but his large audience.

NY Times Columnist Bari Weiss Resigns: “Intellectual Curiosity… is Now a Liability”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 14, 2020 36 Comments

Bari Weiss is a liberal columnist who just resigned from the NY Times. Her resignation letter has gone viral. Weiss never was a good fit at the NY Times, just as Bret Stephens isn't, because she is pro-Israel and speaks out against anti-Semitism at a paper that relentlessly pushes the false narrative of Palestinians as victims and Jews as oppressors in Israel and elsewhere. Those pro-Israel pro-Jewish stances were at the core of the hostility to her (in my opinion), or as she puts it in her resignation letter:

Five Pediatricians on Coronavirus: ‘Benefits of Being in the Classroom Far Outweigh the Risk of the Disease’

Posted by Mary Chastain on July 14, 2020 30 Comments

I believe education is the most local issue. I'm not even talking state or city. Education should be up to the school districts.
