My herbology professor at a public research university in the USA was showing me several samples of a preserved species and one of them was from Palestine. He said "this one is from Palestine, well not Palestine but Jerusalem, Palestine isn't a real country".
This obviously was shocking to me and I walked out of my classroom as a result. I'm now sitting in my car wondering what to do about this situation. My institution invests in Israel and called the national guard to remove us during the encampments. I don't think they would issue any punishment but frankly it's just disgusting that this sort of vile rhetoric is just casually mentioned while discussing herbology.
Anybody have any advice? Or do I just bite the fucking bullet
