Philadelphia, PA – A tenured university professor in Pennsylvania who previously questioned the Holocaust and called for Israel’s destruction is under fire again for incendiary remarks about Jews, women and gays.

Kaukab Siddique, an English professor at Lincoln University outside Philadelphia, asked on Facebook this month whether Bill Cosby’s accusers took so long to come forward because “many women are sluts.”
Another recent post on Facebook attributed the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage on “Obama’s homo uprising,” while a third post referred to “dirty Jewish Zionist White Supremacist thugs.”
Lincoln University condemned Siddique’s remarks but said it does not plan to take action against him.
“His latest activities, like his earlier writings, statements and activities, are an insult to women and other groups singled out,” the university said in a statement. “Like all faculty members, he is entitled to express his personal views in conversation or in public forums, as long as he does not present such opinions as the views of the university.”
In 2010, the 72-year-old publicly questioned the Holocaust and called for Israel’s destruction. That led the chairman of the Pennsylvania Board of Education to raise concern about whether Siddique was fit to teach and whether school resources had been used to spread anti-Semitism on campus.
Siddique did not immediately return an email from The Associated Press on Thursday.
His comments are “deeply offensive and outrageous” and “reflect bigoted stereotypes,” Nancy Baron-Baer, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement Thursday.
Lincoln is a historically black university in Oxford, about 45 miles southwest of Philadelphia. It receives partial funding from the state.
This is the trash that’s “educating” our youth in these so called institution of “higher” learning. But when Donald Trump states that, in his opinion, some Mexicans coming across our borders illegally are murderers and rapists, the whole country bombards him! Why isn’t he entitled to state his opinion?
Bennyt ;
your comment is well received, I may get many critics on me after this, but in all honesty I think USA needs a President LIke Donald Trump. he is out spoken, doesnt ask anyone (not writers nor PR’s or anyone) what he should say or when, he speaks his mind, he is blunt straight forward and basically honest. this will be a man that wont support every country in the world with Billions and trillions of $, for gods sake, this is a man that will cut through all the Politically correctness in this country, finally and hopefully we will have a president of the US of A that we can be proud of. we need to take the mindset of the US people and rearrange the importance of who we are and what we do, lets be proud to be an american
This moron will probably be fired form a black school and be immediately hired by The university of pennsylvania, with a sizeable jewish student body and president.. At that liberal venue, he’ll feel more at home.
Can you imagine what kind of the poison this low life was teaching in his university!?
Now they come out against it,
Where you were when you hired this imbecile?
You’re all so busy arguing about Trump, you forget the article. Is it about Trump or is it about a vile TENURED “Professor” who uses his tenure to attack? Time to get rid of tenure & you’ll see: the standard of education on all levels of “learning” will rise dramatically.
