Jackson, MI – An anti-Semitic poster was hung outside of Representative Tim Walberg’s district office in Jackson Monday. Walberg has been outspoken about the safety of Jews, especially on college campuses, as incidents of anti-Semitism have increased nationwide and beyond.
He released a statement on the incident: “Anti-Semitism continues to sweep across the world, and sadly, it is alive in Michigan. This crisis reflects a lack of morality and genuine education. Nowhere was this more clear than last week, when some of the most prominent names in academia’s leadership displayed utter moral cowardice but also a broader systemic failure in higher education. One in five young Americans now think the Holocaust was a myth, and significantly more think it’s been exaggerated. Unfortunately, in part due to a failure of truthful and honest education, this type of incident has become common. We need to make it rare again. We need to not only call out this bigotry when it occurs but examine the root causes and eliminate it.”
