On December 3 2010, the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is coming here to “picket the Hillel at Brandeis University.” Their message of hatred against Judaism and American college students, is one which we find fundamentally offensive.
Our community is rooted in social justice, empathy, acceptance, and academic discourse. Brandeisians share a drive to create a vibrant community based not merely on our vital commonalities, but on the combined strengths of our differences.
The soul of Brandeis is found in our common values, including the need to stand strong against hatred and bigotry. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. These values compel us to affirm our support for Hillel, and all of the Brandeis family – students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
On December 3, 2010, the WBC wishes to bring its message of hate to Brandeis. We, however, commit to joining with other members of our community to exemplify and celebrate our commitment to diversity, tolerance, and mutual respect.
