Rachel Beyda, a second-year economics major who wants to be a lawyer someday, sought admission to UCLA Student Council's Judicial Board. The Undergraduate Students Association Council, which selects members for these boards, first voted to reject Ms. Beyda's application, questioning, in the words of one member, “how... you see yourself being able to maintain an unbiased view?”
After the intervention of a faculty adviser this USAC reversed itself and approved her membership.
This incident brings to the surface anti-Jewish views that are usually dressed up as dislike for the policies of the State of Israel, or appeals for racial and religious "diversity" and alleged Jewish "over-representation" in various schools, the media and other professions. This disgusting incident provides an opportunity to discuss the real hidden agenda that still plagues society; Jew hatred.
The difference between racism against Jews and against other minorities is that Jews, in general, conform to law and social custom. Thus, they are not the victim of well-publicized police violence. That does not negate the existence of discrimination.
If someone is qualified for a given position, what color they are, what religion they are, or what sex they should not even be asked. They are not relevant. People should earn these things on merit, not be prohibited from them on the basis of chance.
It's not leftist, just dumb and hard to hard to believe that college students would ask someone about their religion. People who are Jewish are mostly from the left.

It is leftist (and dumb) and part of an ongoing antisemitism (cloaked as "anti-Zionism" or "anti-Israel") that we see far too often on university campuses coming from the left. We see it in the boycott/divestment movements to the "apartheid" protests to stunts like this.
What I find scary about this is the other students on the council said Nothing, Nada.
Do these students demand to know whether black students have “affiliations” with the black community or gays with ties to the gay community couldn't be “impartial"?
Political correctness at college campuses has silenced dissenters and muzzled free speech. Really, really frightening stuff.

Antisemitism is on the rise and comes from many directions and forms neo-Nazi's, radical Islamists which I would not call left. Questioning the students religion was dumb, let it go at that.
