POLITICS: UCLA hasn’t learned its lesson

UCLA must think it is off the hook for antisemitism and bigotry after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from imposing a billion-dollar fine for blatant discrimination against Jews. 

Not even the Department of Justice decision last month to join a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination at UCLA’s medical school seems to have prompted any change at the school.

The latest fiasco: CBS News chief Bari Weiss was forced to cancel a lecture on campus because of security concerns.

Anti-Israel activists had targeted Weiss, who is Jewish, and who shares the pro-Israel sentiments of most Americans. An administrator also threatened to resign if Weiss was allowed to speak on campus.

The irony: Weiss was scheduled to give the annual lecture in memory of Daniel Pearl, a journalist who was murdered by Islamic terrorists in Pakistan in 2002 solely because he was Jewish.

UCLA has settled a private discrimination suit brought by Jewish students who were barred from accessing their classes or dorms by a pro-Palestinian “encampment” in 2024.

But UCLA has continued its disgraceful indulgence of antisemitism and woke racism.
