@cdc29 we also had a roseate spoonbill in Bloomington, IN a couple of years ago

@Prof_girlfriend @IUBloomington Thank you, @Prof_girlfriend. I join you in support of the student who was threatened because of their Palestinian origins. Freedom of speech and freedom of inquiry are only possible where there is freedom of movement.

[Sarah Imhoff @Prof_girlfriend]

thank you to @EdwardECurtisIV for bringing the TikTok to my attention; calling on @IUB and @KelleySchool (where the student is enrolled) to take steps to make all Palestinian students feel safe and welcome

[Sarah Imhoff @Prof_girlfriend]

@IUBloomington should be a welcoming space for students of all races and religion, and Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism have no place here. An IU's student's recent TikTok (which I'm not linking here) threatened her Palestinian dorm neighbor.

[Sarah Imhoff @Prof_girlfriend]

Once she discovered he was Palestinian, she declared that if he came near her, she would pepper spray him.

My new article in the Journal of Religious Ethics describes the forces at play on the founding of the JRE in the United States in the 1970s - forces in religious studies, Christian ethics, academic philosophy, and diverse pedagogical environments. https://t.co/PoG0iFWU1s
