Q:

What should be the Jewish response to the anti-Jewish tirade by that black fellow Leonard Jeffries (editor’s note – uncle and former mentor of Hakeem Jeffries, House of Representatives Minority Leader) who is still a teacher at City College?

A:

I think we should all write letters to Ann Reynolds – she is the head of the department – and tell her she should resign.  If she doesn’t get excited at anti-Semitic remarks by a teacher in City College then she doesn’t deserve to be there.  I think everybody should spend 29 cents writing a letter to tell her, “Please resign. You don’t deserve to be in charge of City College, of CUNY, because you don’t know how to react properly. Had it been a Jew who made remarks against blacks, you would have raged against him right away.  You would have fired him without thinking.  And now you keep quiet?!” She’s not saying a word.
That’s how we should react.
