Robinson, the only Black philosophy professor at Texas State, said he filed the complaint because he “wants them to fulfill their side of the contract” – referring to his performance reviews and tenure track – and “to fight back against the prohibition of any discourse on Palestine that isn’t part of the mainstream political class”.
The case is one of a growing number.

@jonesmurphy Seems that Israel has influence fingers in way too many places.
How does it convince smart University people to treat support for a nation under genocide attack as a crime?
@jonesmurphy Sorry for a misguided presumption.
It appears from the UK that racism still manifests in the US far more than it should. Racism is an expression of out-group aggression or fear - hardly surprising such things linger when individualism is promoted as the American way.
Hope that makes sense and I am not being misguided again.
I used to talk with a footballer friend. Deep black up close did feel awkward - had to override genetics with reason. At least that was how I saw it.
