Anti-Semitic Prof鈥檚 Teaching Curtailed
, the California State University, Long Beach, psychology professor who wrote an anti-Semitic trilogy explaining why he thinks Jews are bad for white societies, has been removed from instructing certain classes. Gerry Riposa, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, told Hatewatch that MacDonald would no longer be teaching lower-level courses, including a required course for psych majors specializing in child development. MacDonald, at right, received an award and $10,000 for his work on the Jews from The Occidental Quarterly, a white supremacist journal. He was accompanied at the 2004 ceremony by Virginia Abernethy, a self-described 鈥渨hite separatist鈥 and official of the racist Council of Conservative Citizens.
University sources say complaints about MacDonald鈥檚 anti-Semitism and racism following the April publication of the Intelligence Report鈥檚 expos茅, 鈥,鈥 spurred the change.
But Riposa says that鈥檚 not so. He insists that MacDonald鈥檚 lower-level classes have had 鈥渞eally low enrollments,鈥 which is unacceptable given the rapid growth in Long Beach鈥檚 student body. Riposa said he has ordered MacDonald to come up with 鈥渟ome other courses鈥 than the three or four he has taught for years because he 鈥渘eeds to do something else.鈥
Whatever works.
