School blocks [Pulitzer Prize Winning Playright Tony] Kushner honor over Israel
[Excerpt] A request by John Jay College to award Kushner an honorary degree was tabled on Monday night after one CUNY board member criticized -- and, Kushner argues, distorted -- the playwright's past statements on Israel.
