Campus Watch Responds:
In an article on the Khalil Gibran International Academy, Sharmila Devi makes the following incorrect assertion:
But two years ago when planning was under way, the school was targeted by a small but vocal group of protesters led by Daniel Pipes, who heads the Middle East Forum, a conservative research group that also runs Campus Watch, which has targeted professors around the country for their supposed anti-Israel and pro-Islam bias.
Moreover, Campus Watch does not “target professors” for being “anti-Israel and pro-Islam.” CW critiques professors based on the objectivity and rigor of their research and teaching. Under no circumstances does CW critique anyone for being “pro-Islam.” Indeed, many of CW’s allies are themselves Muslims and, one therefore presumes, “pro-Islam.” Rather, CW critiques without regard to one’s religion.
