Dear UVM: Investigate Tara Gragg for Antisemitism, "Hooknose Hymies" Comments
The Issue
Dear University of Vermont Medical Center and concerned citizens,
I am writing because I believe that your employee, Tara Gragg, should be investigated for antisemitism and Jew-hate due to her comments online about Jews. According to her social media, Tara Gragg has called Jews "hooknose hymies", admitted to hating Jews, and admits to interacting with the public and doctors at the college medical center where she works.
Gragg's comments are not only dangerous, but they cast doubt on her ability to be an impartial service provider to Jewish patients as well as non-Jewish patients. When someone believes that Jews (or any group of people) are "destroyers" and pray to a plagirized religion, and expresses that sentiment online, it shows not only disregard for the Jewish community, but deliberate malice.
Make no mistake: Tara Gragg isn't a crusader for Palestine who is just a little uneducated. She's a 50+ year-old woman who delights in joking about Jews and Israelis, about Judiasm and our cultural traditional. Tara Gragg does this deliberately, and has been dragging Jews through the mud publicly nearly every week, if not every day, for the past year, according to her Facebook account.
Wondering what she's actually said? Here are some screenshots from her Facebook account.
