I have weighed the pros and cons of all postings re Ethiopian Jews.
Let me reiterate :
I am not anti-semitic.
I have an admiration for Jewish culture.
Some of the brightest students I have had are Jewish.
The best scholarly books I have read in Psychology are by Jewish authors.
I do not believe that documentation per se is enough evidence to deny
intentional and un-intentional motivation.
All matters brought up in the classroom can provide (like my mentor Thomas
Merton) would say seeds of contemplation.
I am more interested in people managing their prejudices,instead of
overcoming their prejudices.
Hating may be understandable,but please do not harm.
Two of the critical thinking prinioples I admire the most are :
-Consider the source (with or without documentation)
- Tolerate uncertainty.
Now,let's move on.
