UC Berkeley English Composition Course Praised Hamas
Course description, since removed, hailed the ‘Hamas revolutionary resistance forces combating settler-colonialism.’

How are things going in Berkeley?
After Oct 7, UC Berkeley launched a ‘Palestinian Studies Program” funded by a $3 million gift from an “anonymous donor”.
But that’s not even where a course praising Hamas comes from. Instead it comes from the English department.
The course description, since removed, is titled English Composition in Connection With the Reading of World Literature.” But the literature in question isn’t Gilgamesh. The subheader is “Leninism and Anarchism: A Theoretical Approach to Literature and Film”.
And it gets worse from there.
The course description falsely accuses Israel of genocide, hails Leninist movements, and hails the “Hamas revolutionary resistance forces combating settler-colonialism”, along with Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, and China.
UC Berkeley has since removed the course description.
That this insane Communist propaganda passed as course material in the first place though says a lot about the state of academia.
