Elite schools that are still committed to free speech

Same, been a non-issue. Seems very overblown by those with an agenda to make Ivies look as bad as possible. Many just love the attack thinking it will help their mediocre student have better chances.

Compared with nearly any other country, US universities overall do well in allowing free speech. The US universities are far from perfect, but do well compared to many other countries' universities.

If I had a kid at Northwestern, I'd sue them for creating an anti-Semitic environment that conflates Judaism with Zionism.

Christian doesn't mean Nazi, and Jewish doesn't mean Zionist.

the required title VI training is...insane

At one point the narrator compares critics of Israel to former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, and uses a controversial definition of antisemitism.

The video also states that Israel was founded “on British land” and refers to the occupied West Bank as “Judea and Samaria”, the biblical name controversially used for the region by the Israeli government.

The training module’s opponents at Northwestern, many of them Jewish, say the material does little to protect Jews. Instead, it “reinforces, rather than reduces, the proliferation of discriminatory bias in our communities”, students wrote in an open letter.

A Zionist is simply a person who supports the existence of Israel as a Jewish state. Nothing more. Don't be tarted.

When did Zionist become the equivalent of Nazi?

I think israel should exist. Am I a Zionist?

I think Israel should not exist and be replaced by the country of “Israel and Palestine”
Am I therefore an anti-Semite? Should I be censured by a college for daring to say such a thing?

Yes, you are a Zionist, and there's nothing wrong with that, which was the point of the previous post. The people conflating Zionism, the simple belief that Jews should have their own state, however tiny, in the Middle East, with Nazism are the idiots. Most couldn't define either word.

You may or may not be an anti-Semite, but you're definitely tarted. What do you think would happen to the living standards in Tel Aviv if you got your wish?

I agree - but beware the SLACs. Wesleyan is god awful for anyone not on the left politically (including moderates)- you will be a pariah, unless you are an athlete and then you will just hide amongst your teammates for 4 years
