Mayor Bloomberg using NYPD to monitor Muslim students at the insistence of influential Jewish American block

It is a shame for Bloomberg, the billionaire tuned into politician - the mayor of New York. It is just another case of institutional racism, say some at the academic institutions across North East United States.

Yale President Richard Levin was among a number of academics who condemned the effort in a statement Monday, while Rutgers University and leaders of student Muslim groups elsewhere called for investigations into the monitoring.

"I am writing to state, in the strongest possible terms, that police surveillance based on religion, nationality, or peacefully expressed political opinions is antithetical to the values of Yale, the academic community, and the United States," Levin wrote.

"Of course we''re going to look at anything that's publicly available in the public domain. We have an obligation to do so, and it is to protect the very things that let Yale survive," Bloomberg said.
