    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.

So you believe a significant number of people need reminding what "Holocaust Remembrance" might mean?  Is it because you and your ilk are so fucking stupid then?

(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.)

There is no "pro Hamas brigade."  That's just your way of saying "will suck a bag of dicks for attention."  Hope this helps.
