Israel

1969
- Student Expelled for 'causing unrest' (05/31/1969)

Student Rabbi expelled for 'causing
unrest'
Toronto Star (Canada), Sat., May 31, 1969 p.6
An American student has been expelled from Ner Israel
Yeshiva College on Finch Ave. for allegedly causing unrest among students
at the associated Ner Israel high School on the same campus.
Faculty president
Rabbi
J. S. Weinberg said Joseph Markin, 22, a visiting student was "out permanently" for "deliberately provoking younger students into feeling that
injustices had been done before discussing the matter with me."
Markin studying to become a rabbi, said he was accused
of instigating a protest demonstration last Wednesday. He said he knew about
the protest but did not suggest it or take part.
Rabbi Weinberg denied that there had been a demonstration,
but said some people had tried to cause trouble. A mimeographed list of
"abuses"
by Rabbi Weinberg, including staff changes, was circulated at the high school
and the college.
The rabbi said a high school student had been "interrogated
against his will." He said he was taking disciplinary action against those
responsible.
(NAME REMOVED), 16, a high school student, said
he was assaulted by two college students seeking names of those behind the
protest.
(NAME REMOVED) said he and 14 other students were
suspended for a day on Wednesday morning to prevent them from holding the
protest.
Rabbi
Weinberg said 15 students were suspended for oversleeping and missing
morning prayers.
