Making antisemitic statements has been a feature with Mr. Peyton for some time.

Did it take a petition with over 5,000 signatures to get the school to get around to firing this guy?

Some of his statements are provided in the above link. So much malice and ignorance. Apparently, Berklee didn’t care about his antisemitism until they had to, which is a part of the story I would be interested in knowing about.
