After Battle, Barnard Professor Given Tenure

My congratulations to Columbia University!

The Sun's implicit bias here against Professor Nadia is not really so implicit. I am a writer and I know what you are trying to do by identifying her Palestinian descent and her book's alleged denial of Israeli existence in the same sentence. It makes people connect the two. Don't think your readers are so dumb. If you knew Nadia, you would see that she does not even identify with the Palestinian cause. She is a born and brought up American. Don't judge her for her race and religion.
