I just had to go through DEI day at my workplace a couple of weeks back.
No mention of antisemitism. Lots of black oppression stuff, female oppression stuff, gay stuff, and white guilt stuff, but no Jewish or Palestine related stuff. Jews didn't resort to lawless rioting after the Hamas massacre. Maybe that's why they get their own bill in Congress. |

No. The first amendment means what it says. Besides, the left will twist this to use against the right just like they do with the FACE act.

The difference is the EO wasn't legally binding, probably because of its ambiguity. The EO was binding insofar that it directed the executive branch on how to interpret antisemitism and includes that into Title VI investigations. This act does the same, and does not make it a crime to criticize Jewish people. It makes discrimination based upon antisemitism a violation of TItle VI. Sorry for ruining your doom and hyperbole circle jerk. |

If you want to get on a bullhorn and talk about the Jewish illumati then that is perfectly permissible under this law. If you want to exclude a person from a club because they are Jewish, then that is not fine if you receive federal funds. Again, Trump set up the exact same standard in his EO, and even though it was not legally binding, it still established the guidance the DOJ and DOE operated under. Functionally the EO and the act do the same thing. Your inability to understand what this law does is a choice. |
