Is there anything aclu doesn’t sue over?
Democrats doing Democrat stuff.
You know they have problems when Democrats are suing other Democrats over the rights of Democrats to spew virulent antisemitism.
Love it DH.
The ACLU has also represented the KKK. The more you know…
It’s clear that IU has no idea what they’re doing, similar to most urban police departments in light of George Floyd protests.
These are a bunch of kids who are passionately protesting against injustices committed by authority. Whether they’re right or wrong, authoritatively squashing the protests against unjust authority will backfire. This time, seemingly to the extent that 1A is violated.
As a Jew whose ancestors either 1) Fled Europe for the US or Israel; or 2) Died in the Holocaust, I will be the first to tell you that some of the things said at some of these protests are abhorrent. And as somebody who has met & befriended many Palestinians, I can say that many of these kids somehow dodged grade school level lessons about the Holocaust; the reasons why Jews fled back to Israel; nor the fact that the Palestinian movement is – just as the most extreme Zionists – a right-wing nationalistic movement that seeks to exclude others.
At the same time, in a country like the US – where free speech is the first amendment of our constitution – protesting needs to be allowed. Especially on the grounds of public universities. The pro-Palestinian crowd has as much right to protest as anybody. If IUB just allows protests – as was done at IUI for months & at Purdue – 1st amendment rights will be preserved & the crowd will sputter out.
If IU is worried about the (real) possibility of antisemitism at pro-Palestine protests, it should have expert professors actively help young & sometimes dumb 18-year-olds know the difference between legitimate critiques of Israel (of which there are many) & antisemitic dog whistles. IU’s current strategy does nothing but fan the flames, which will eventually boil over into pure chaos.
