Columnist Bryan Ritchie throws some stupid incendiary firebombs today.

You'd think that rule one of accusing someone of being a Holocaust Denier and AIDS fantisist would be to have proof. And Ritchie is claiming the entire Ethnic Studies department at Berkeley High is a large anti-semitic, unwatched rogue department. But his entire proof is one statement from a single BUSD Boardmember. Nothing from the Teachers accused. The interview with the department head is taken out of context.

Does he even realize how incendiary these accusations are? This would be national news. This would make the BBC. More importantly, if not true, this is almost Libel. And he has one source.

Ritchie must not know how important this is. After all, those accusations are merely a segue towards a more moderate rant against the BUSD in general, not something very unusual.

Either Berkeley is about to make national news again or the Daily Cal is screwed. Take your pick.Email This Post!
