The attack Saturday (Jan. 15) on a synagogue near Fort Worth, Texas, where four people were taken hostage, reverberated across the American Jewish community and heightened concerns about safety and security. Those concerns are particularly acute in Uptown New Orleans, which not only two synagogues, Temple Sinai and Touro Synagogue, but Tulane University’s Hillel and […]
The Voices page carried two pieces on the same day this week that contended their authors did not believe it was antisemitism for the Bowen Law School dean at the University of Arkansas Little Rock to tell Jewish Professor Robert Steinbuch he could no longer use guest lecturers so he could attend the annual High Holy Jewish days.
The Dec. 18 column by Mike Masterson in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, "ADL supports professor," contains a quote that misrepresents ADL's (Anti-Defamation League) words and involvement on an issue at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's Bowen School of Law.
I'll bet good folks at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and its Bowen School of Law continue yanking out handfuls of hair after months of contention over a law school professorship named for former governor and President Bill Clinton until faculty questions canceled those plans.

I’ll Take ‘White Supremacist Hand Gestures’ for $1,000 Ben Smith, New York Times, May 16, 2021 It is an ironclad rule of the private Facebook group of past “Jeopardy!” contestants that nobody post about that night’s episode before 11 p.m. Eastern time, to avoid spoiling the show for West Coast viewers. So the moderators of the group waited until 11 p.m. sharp on April 27 to reassure the roughly 2,800 fellow members that they had the crisis in hand. They had seen a contestant on that night’s show, a big white guy with a red tie, Kelly Donohue, make an odd gesture with three fingers of his right hand. “Based on the evidence we’ve seen being bandied about elsewhere, there is a real possibility he was giving either a white power or a Three Percenter hand gesture,” wrote one moderator, a middle-school teacher who was on the show about five years ago, according to screenshots provided by another group member.
