The Religion News website reports today (April 10, 2012) that a satirical student newspaper is under investigation for bias by New Jersey's Rutgers University for publishing a column in praise of Adolf Hitler, and attributing it to a Jewish student activist.
An article titled "What about the good things Hitler did?" appeared in "The Medium" on April 4 alongside Rutgers student Aaron Marcus' name and photo.
A self-described Zionist, Marcus writes columns for the Rutgers student newspaper, "The Daily Targum," which "The Medium" sought to spoof.
Richard McCormick -- president of Rutgers -- said, "No individual student should be subject to such a vicious and provocative and hurtful piece, regardless whether the First Amendment protections apply to such expression."
