My professional organization failed to adopt a constitutional amendment to
“support faculty members and students who challenge Islamophobic rhetoric and the increased militarism, xenophobia, and racism associated with the upsurge in Islamophobia,
”
I’m completely opposed to Islamophobic rhetoric but I’m happy this idiotic amendment didn’t pass. First of all, its adoption seems to suggest that the association’s constitution was pro-Islamophobia before the amendment. Which it clearly wasn’t. And second, it invites a question of where are amendments in support of members who challenge anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and anti-everything else rhetoric.
It would be great if the MLA stopped buggering around with idiotic amendments and started doing some actual work.
