Biden administration unveils new actions to combat antisemitism on college campuses

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is unveiling new actions Monday to combat antisemitism on college campuses after an “alarming” uptick in incidents since the Israel-Hamas war started in early October.

The departments of Justice and Homeland Security are partnering with campus law enforcement to track hate-related rhetoric online and provide federal resources to schools, according to the plan, which was shared exclusively with NBC News.

Dozens of cybersecurity and protective security experts at DHS have been detailed to engage with schools as they navigate incredibly tense environments, a White House official said.

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona will meet with leading Jewish organizations to discuss the issue of growing antisemitism at colleges Monday, the official said.

The White House will also highlight how the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights has expedited an update of its complaint form. For the first time, it will make it clear that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits certain forms of antisemitism and Islamophobia.

Later this week, Cardona and White House domestic policy adviser Neera Tanden will visit a college campus and hold a roundtable with Jewish students.

The Education Department has conducted site visits to gather more information about antisemitism at schools in San Francisco, St. Louis and Maine in recent weeks, with stops planned in New York City and Baltimore this week, the official said.

Notice how they have to add “Islamophobia” into the narrative. Even though we all know what the source of the anti-semitism is.

They had better use coloring books, given the low IQ of the vast majority of modern college students. Oh, they can use the same coloring books that they give the president. After all, he is the dumbassiest of all dumbasses.

I don’t suppose they’ve considered not letting MORE muslims into the country, have they? No, that would be “raaaaacist”. By all means, let’s import more 3rd-world savages who are members of a cult of death that hates Jews and anyone else who isn’t in their cult (that would include EVERY non-muslim in the world).

“...Second gentleman Doug Emhoff...”

What kind of title is that? Pete ButtPlugs husband? What authority does a non-government employee have in this, just because he is Jewish?

Lemme guess...they’re gonna mandate that every Jew on a college campus wear a star on their sleeve so people will know who they’re not allowed to hate?

They're meeting with Jewish organizations......they should be meeting with leaders of the Muslim organizations who are creating these protests and deporting them!
