“Could you imagine APA having a listening session for LGBTQ+ individuals, which includes people who are known to be homophobic?” asked Harvard Medical School Professor @dhrosmarin. Full investigation from @GSDeutch: https://t.co/XaRgAGXgCo
An investigation by GS Deutch highlights ongoing challenges within the American Psychological Association (APA) in addressing antisemitism among its 172,000 members. The report describes antisemitism as a pervasive issue within the organization, likening it to a spreading cancer. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), in collaboration with the APA and The Academic Engagement Network, issued a statement expressing concern over a recent article in American Psychologist that exhibited clear animus toward Jewish people and distorted historical facts while erasing Jewish self-determination. Harvard Medical School Professor David H. Rosmarin criticized the APA's approach, questioning how the association could hold listening sessions for marginalized groups while including individuals known for homophobic views. The controversy follows heightened scrutiny of antisemitism in psychology since October 7, underscoring the difficulties the APA faces in confronting bias within its ranks. Separately, DePaul University recently deactivated the Planned Parenthood Generation Action student group, with students emphasizing the importance of universities addressing sexual health issues.
