A friend sent this strongly-worded reprimand of the Stamford University
leadership to me. It's worth reading.
What a powerful statement. Good for the UK to speak up, but horrible for
the people (and schools) that are affected by antisemitism.

Farmington, CT, the town's South Asian population asked the school board to
make Diwali a day off, since Asians represent 23% of the population. Not
only did the school board say no, they also decided to take away Rosh

Hi Lisa,
I don't have the answers to your questions, but I do have a possible reason
for why illustrators are putting kippot on characters.

Lin Oliver co-authors books with Henry Winkler, who is Jewish. I wonder
what his reaction to this is. I also wonder if the SCBWI Board was
consulted. I think some of the members are also Jewish.
