This just in, from the Dept. of Things You Don’t See Every Day…

Seems that most colleges would be crawling over each other to have a Nobel Peace Prize winner and Apartheid dragon-slayer for their commencement speaker, but the Anti-Defamation League is slamming Michigan State and UNC-Chapel Hill for doing just that.

“Desmond Tutu is a poor choice for commencement speaker,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “His statements about Israel have time and again conveyed outright bigotry against the Jewish homeland and the Jewish people, and his deepening involvement in the anti-Israel boycott effort should have raised a red flag. This is not someone to be held up as a model or awarded an honorary degree, given his history of bombastic rhetoric and unceasing support for the anti-Israel boycott effort.”
