These slander campaigns, intended to silence dissenting voices, are rooted in anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism, a form of racism that silences, excludes, erases, stereotypes, defames, and dehumanizes Arabs and their narratives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/diversity-professor-verbally-attacked-students-terrorism-remark-cleared-wrongdoing\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/diversity-professor-verbally-attacked-students-terrorism-remark-cleared-wrongdoing <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Washington University is standing by its diversity professor after a complaint to the U.S Department of Education Office of Civil Rights alleged she created [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[16563],"tags":[],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-60564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
