[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCLA lost in court before it settled. The chancellor testified he knew there was a "jew exclusion zone" on campus.

I am not denying that they are selectively enforcing but that isn't a legal defense.

You know what.  This is a fair point.  However, did the court also ask for $1B as part of that settlement. The point is that it is up to courts to settle civil suits.  It is not within the rights of US Government, under the direction of a dictatorial president, to selectively cut funding and ask for extortion money to double down on a court case loss.

Also, why would an attack on antisemitism require changes to trans-gender policy and DEI usage in admissions?  This has absolutely nothing to do with allowing protesters to restrict the access of Jewish people on campus.

Lastly, I agree with a PP who said that the colleges need to grow a pair and stand up to this BS.  It may take a few years, but as a united group - I think they have a very strong case against the government.  And that is even with this gerrymandered Supreme Court that the dictator set up.

+100.  Because as was shown with Columbia, it won’t stop here.  This is not now or has it ever been about anti-semitism.  And each time people fight them that is shown in court.  [/quote]

Regardless, searing resentment toward our Jewish communities will likely be the lasting product of this outrageous encroachment on the independence of our colleges and universities.

This won’t be forgotten. It doesn’t matter what the “real reason” turns out to be.

It’s being done in their name. It reinforces just about every negative stereotype in the book. And after we’ve been lectured over and over again about the evils of cancel culture and DEI, it ironically reeks of selective cancel culture and selective DEI - you know, the same exact ideas but only for “chosen people”.

How far behind China will be when this idiocy is finally derailed?[/quote]

This may be the most disheartening part of the last couple of years. I genuinely don’t get how “Never Again” became “It’s okay to perpetrate genocide if we are the ones doing it in Gaza” and “we have no issue with being used as the excuse for bringing fascism to America”.  In my mind— worse than MAGA because the Jewish people know exactly where this is leading. They just don’t care unless they are the victims.  As hypocritical as the Christian right— maybe more so.

Genocide usually doesn't give the victims an opportunity to unconditionally surrender and sue for peace.  That is called a war.[/quote]
