At the recent hearing on Title VI funding for Middle East and other area studies centers, the higher education lobby tried to dismiss stories of egregious bias against U.S. foreign policy as isolated and atypical anecdotes. Well, Martin Kramer has turned up yet another story of outrageous bias paid for by your tax dollars. It seems that a Title VI center at Georgetown University held a workshop on the war in Iraq for Washington area teachers. On the very day that Saddam’s statue was pulled down in Baghdad, 140 K-12 teachers were addressed by five speakers, each of which was bitterly opposed to the war in Iraq. One even proposed a Marshall plan of aid for Iraq. Trouble is, the plan included keeping Saddam in place. As for the higher education lobby’s denial that Edward Said is still influential in area studies, Kramer shows how the Georgetown Title VI center has been pushing Said on its students. This is a real “smoking gun” of an entry by Kramer.
