In his doctoral dissertation, Hadi T. Pir, a Yazidi scholar, has utilized my critique of Michel Foucault to shed light on how Western critical theorists, including Neo-Marxists and Post-Colonialists, selectively distort the facts on the ground in the Middle East to define the region and its problems in a way that suits their narrative. This is a deep-rooted bias that has blinded Western academia to the point of losing its credibility. And I can say it was the main reason I left academia although I could have toed the line and enjoyed the benefits. The dissertation’s title is “Iraqi Education Past and Present: The Role of Policymakers and Their Ideological Background,” and it was written for University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

  FGU’s president writes in honor of Earth Day about “earth blindness.” I offer an example of this- the silence of University Presidents on Gaza, where in just the first two months of bombing created foot print greater than that of more than 20 of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations. The president calls for protests on behalf of our planet like happened in the 60s and 70s. Yes, then the environmental movement was on par with anti-war and human rights protests. But why are we silent about Gaza when it reflects the targets of all three: ecological devastation, war, and human rights violations?  My “story?” I went to Gaza and the West Bank in 1999 when was invited to keynote the Militarism in Education Conference at U of Tel Aviv. I initiated a NTZ project on the Pacific Coast in Mexico (see photo below). I did four tours of duty at Standing Rock. I won the Martin Springer Institute on Holocaust Studies Moral Courage Award for my activism. I left tenure at NAU to come to Fielding for what I thought was possible, such as the president’s model for FGU described in Truthout’s article, “The First Survival University?). I have dedicated my scholarship to promoting healthy life systems. But now, university policies, leadership, and practices have fallen onto the spear of fear and hypocrisy. Not to mention the unilateral moratorium on the program at Fielding most dedicated to social/ecological justice.   Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows), aka Don Trent Jacobs, Ph.D., Ed.D.   https://lnkd.in/e95737h   “Being Indigenous is a state of mind to live in deep and consistent communion with Mother Nature and her laws.”—Frank Bracho   3-minute Video on Indigenous Worldview: https://lnkd.in/gfPfJnQy?
