So far, nothing has happened to the student.
Imagine a student calling Michelle Obama a smelly black. I’m sure nothing would happen to that student.
“Smelly Jew” Tzipi Livni
Wash Times-
The student issued an apology Wednesday explaining that he or she meant to insult Ms. Livni personally and didn’t mean to invoke a hurtful stereotype.
“I want to be very clear that it was never my intention to invoke a hateful stereotype, but I recognize now that, regardless of my intention, words have power, and it troubles me deeply to know that I have caused some members of the Jewish community such pain with my words,” the student wrote. “To those people I say, please reach out. Give me an opportunity to make it right. I will assure you, as I have already assured many, that had I known it was even possible that some listeners might interpret my comments as anti-Semitic, there is absolutely no chance that I would have uttered them. … Many members of the Jewish community — some of whom hold strong differences of opinion with me — have reached out to me on their own to let me know that they did not interpret my words as anti-Semitic, because they know me well enough to know that that is not at all consistent with who I am as a person.”
The student has not been identified by the school and it is not clear whether he or she will face any consequences. The Harvard Law Record has actively scrubbed the student’s name from its comments section, and a transcript provided by the Harvard Program on Negotiation did not name the student. The Daily Callernoted that video of the event exists, but it has been censored to remove the offending question.
