UCLA: Student Government Candidate Attacked for Being Jewish

Post by SDC »

Imagine that, in progressive UCLA.

On February 10, four members of the nine-member UCLA student government initially voted against appointing a female Jewish candidate, voicing their belief that her Jewish background made her unfit for the position on the government’s judicial branch.

The student targeted, Rachel Beyda, eventually was voted to the position unanimously, but not before 40 minutes of debate, during which the four students attacked Beyda’s qualifications.

The UCLA student newspaper, the Daily Bruin, reported that the four student representatives who contended against Beyda were Fabienne Roth, Manjot Singh, Negeen Sadeghi-Movahed and Sofia Moreno Haq, according to the Jewish Journal.

I watched the entire interview all the way through a week ago. COMPLETELY disgusting. I cannot believe those people. I wished the whole time that she would just tell them all to fuck off and that she wanted nothing to do with their bigoted group, but she's a better person than I am, and hopefully she can help change things.

Absolutely sickening.

Godwined your point by bringing in the Nazis. Moron.

Any backlash against Indiana is FREE SPEECH. Also, US political culture doesn't have a double standard when you are looking at two different sides of the spectrum at the same time.

Why do I waste time on you. You are worthless. Please, go away.
