Rutgers University Event Bans Jewish Students and Community Members

CHALLAH @ WND (h/t ElderofZiyon)

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – Rutgers University campus police tonight barred some 400 Jewish students and their supporters, including some Holocaust survivors, from attending what was billed as an anti-Zionist gathering at the state school tonight.

The student-sponsored event was announced with an open invitation campus-wide, and Rutgers policy is for all student activities to be open to the public.

However, when the sponsoring organizations of "Never Again for Anyone" saw they were outnumbered by Jewish students and their supporters by about 4-to-1, they asked campus policy to bar students wearing kippas – and eventually limited attendance to known supporters of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, Americans for Muslims in Palestine and the Middle East Children's Alliance.

They need to file a law suit.
They need to go after the Universities government funding too.

Universities often deny equal rights to targeted groups in the name of avoiding violence from leftists.

Usually it is Christians or conservative groups/speakers they deny the right to hold events or create University organizations.

Now they are going after Jews; telling them they are barred from University events? I guess this is coming down the road soon for Christians too. They are “progressing.”
These people are sickening.

Those barred should have waited until everyone allowed to attend had arrived, then broken in and beaten all of them to death with bricks and baseball bats while holding the security people at bay. And then sued the university, and sued the federal government for giving financial support of whatever kind to this supposed center of learning.

A hothead? Me? :')

Thanks OddLane.

Nice of Rutgers, an institution which I suspect takes federal funds, making this action highly suspect. Not that anyone will care.

Rutgers is a state university. Thus there could be grounds for a lawsuit on behalf of those denied access to the event, invoking the "equal protection" clause of the 14th Amendment.

You hit the nail on the head! In the case of state universities (which Rutgers is), federal courts can go a long way toward improving the problem if they have the guts to enforce the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause, just as they did in the 50s and 60s with respect to public school segregation.

and in view of the title of the event, ironic as hell, too.

While Rutgers is a state university, you can bet your bottom dollar that it takes federal funds, like virtually every other university in the US. I think only 1 or 2 colleges refuse federal funding, IIRC, Hillsboro and/or Grove City. Also, Rutgers students accept federal financial aid, so it would be subject to federal law suits as well.

Conversely Muslims and lefties love to jam into Jewish events such as a speech by Benjamin Netanyahu and disrupt it. They have done it many times

If these money grubbing Muslims want to use student funds then all must be admitted who are not disruptive

For those who don’t know-—

Northern New Jersey is very immigrant heavy. Lots of Koreans and Hindus and Muslims from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. Muslims are all over there. You drive down the main drag and lots of Mulsim oowned gasoline stations. You know this because the attendant must fill the tank in NJ.... no do it yorself

Rugers - another judenrein lib organization. And, by the way, how did the Islamofascists know for sure if anybody was Jewish or not? Did they check to people’s circumcisions? What a bunch of jerks!
