 Columbia University initially failed to include Jews in an Instagram story
 highlighting Holocaust Remembrance Day, but later re-posted the graphic and
 changed the language.
 
 The original Instagram story post by Columbia on Monday made no mention of
 the Jewish people or what happened to them during the Holocaust.
 
 "On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we shine a light on the importance of
 learning to think critically about the role and responsibility all of us
 share in standing up against hate," the Instagram story stated.
 
 After being ruthlessly dragged on social media for it, Columbia later
 posted a new graphic to its Instagram story, this time mentioning Jews.
 
 "On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember those sent to their deaths just
 for being Jewish, and we commit to reject hatred in all of its forms,
 including antisemitism, which has no place in a civilized world," the
 revised post states.

 
So, they were browbeaten into stating the patently obvious...

So obvious they completely missed it the first time around.

(Of course the reason for it is clear: they didn't want to enrage the
pro-Hamas brigade to which they've ceded control of their school these days.
Not to mention the not insignificant number of administrators and faculty who
agree with the mob outside on the lawn.)
