Often, this call to examine root causes is simply a distraction that avoids coming up with solutions. Let’s not kid ourselves that the resignation of the president of the University of Pennsylvania for her refusal to unequivocally denounce genocide against Jews (though Liz Magill will stay on as interim president until a replacement is found and will also remain a tenured professor ) is going to solve anything so […]](https://www.morningjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/thomas-antisemitism-20231214-2.jpg?w=132 "We are constantly told how necessary it is to find the“root causes” of everything, from crime, to illegal immigration, to the wave of antisemitism spreading across many college campuses and in our streets.
