First, the actual solutions to what’s happening on campus would be to
1. Deport foreigners supporting terrorists
2. Defund the departments are responsible for turning campuses into activism hubs
3. Restore order on campuses using state or federal law enforcement
2 out of 3 of those are evergreen and even the third would mostly apply to the BLM riots and other forms of political harassment.
The ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’ falls far short of that. Despite the false claims on social media, it does little more than allow Jewish students to sue colleges for allowing harassment of Jews under the guise of ‘anti-Zionism’. It can also help roll back some of the pro-terrorist propaganda in the classroom.
Will it do that?
The actual bill, which few seem to have read, orders the Department of Education to exclusively use the IHRA definition of antisemitism as opposed to using it alongside other definitions. The practical upshot of the ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’ would be force the Department of Ed to close the ‘anti-Zionism’ loophole, but in reality there’s no particular reason to think that the same bureaucrats ignoring campus antisemitism now will start taking it seriously now that the House passed a bill ordering it to.

Did you bother to listen to the Matt Walsh video I linked to? This piece of legislation would essentially make the New Testament an illegal hate piece because it’s “antisemitic” among a slew of other things.
The Antisemitism Awareness Act directs the Department of Education to use the definition promulgated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance when enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws.
"Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews," the definition says.
It goes on to define examples of antisemitism, and some of the heated rhetoric heard on college campuses lately would be included.
Auron spent an hour going thru everything that is wrong in this thing.

HR 6090 outsources the definition of “antisemitism” to a German based Non-Government Organization, as well as using their assessment of which specific examples quality.
“For purposes of this Act, the term definition of antisemitism—
(1)means the definition of antisemitism adopted on May 26, 2016, by the IHRA, of which the United States is a member, which definition has been adopted by the Department of State; and
(2)includes the [c]ontemporary examples of antisemitism identified in the IHRA definition.”

“It goes on to define examples of antisemitism”
One of the examples given was that Jews killed Jesus Christ. This was labeled an antisemitic trope that was defined as hate speech. So if this bill passes get ready to remove the 21 passages in the New Testament that allude to this. But this bill goes much further than that. It pretty much criminalizes any criticism of Israel. Although I bet the Christian Zionists on here would probably like that last part.
“ Did you bother to listen to the Matt Walsh video I linked to?”
No.
It was much too long.
It does not take 12 minutes to answer my question.
I note you did not answer it.
I’m not asking a rhetorical question, I don’t know so am asking those who say it violates the first amendment how it does.
Thank you, but what violates the first amendment?
“ The Antisemitism Awareness Act directs the Department of Education to use the definition promulgated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance when enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws.”
It would seem the relevant law are laws that exist already - these so-called “anti-discrimination laws.”
Ok, thanks, but what are the unconstitutional enforcements?
It shouldn’t take an hour to say this.
One sentence can do it if it is obvious.
How about the 20 Republicans that votes with the Squad?
Sorry, but if one has heard any of the legal logistics of going against the first amendment...
do we still even have that?
we have existing laws to deal with violence, trespass etc.
But if I want to say I hate...LGBYQ, Muslims, Baptists, blacks, whites, hispanics...or anything else...even Jews, Arabs, or Hebrews...I can do so peacefully.
Some laws should die a death on the senate and house floor, because they are wrong by our morals, amendments, and laws.
No one reads the fine print. This “Anti Semitism Awareness Act” is as treacherous as the “Inflation Reduction Act “
When someone named Donald J. Trump was President of the United States:
Executive Order on Combating Anti-Semitism.
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. My Administration is committed to combating the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic incidents in the United States and around the world.
Issued on: December 11, 2019

The names are all in public now. We know who they are.
All of the Squad among the 70 Dems.
These R voted with the squad.
Biggs Republican Arizona NAY
Boebert Republican Colorado NAY
Brecheen Republican Oklahoma NAY
Burlison Republican Missouri NAY
Cloud Republican Texas NAY
Clyde Republican Georgia NAY
Collins Republican Georgia NAY
Crane Republican Arizona NAY
Davidson Republican Ohio NAY
Donalds Republican Florida NAY
Gaetz Republican Florida NAY
Gosar Republican Arizona NAY
Greene (GA) Republican Georgia NAY
Hageman Republican Wyoming NAY
Higgins (LA) Republican Louisiana NAY
Hunt Republican Texas NAY
Luna Republican Florida NAY
Massie Republican Kentucky NAY
Norman Republican South Carolina NAY
Rosendale Republican Montana NAY
Roy Republican Texas NAY
All of these “examples” of “anti-semitism” from a foreign NGO based in Germany are now written into US law.
https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism
including:
“Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.”
So is quoting Matthew 27, or any of the Gospels wrt to the masses and elites cheering for the Crucifixion, now US law prohibited “anti-semitism” ?
It’s simply crazy for BoomerCon Repubs to give a corrupt Regime this legislation to misuse against conservatives.

Meet the Sheriff of Nottingham: Shuguftah Quddoos
Sorry I asked. Any word from the Shire?
You gotta be kidding me. Things are really getting out of hand in Old Blighty.
The law in question seems to be title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.).
From the Act:
In reviewing, investigating, or deciding whether there has been a violation of title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.) on the basis of race, color, or national origin, based on an individual’s actual or perceived shared Jewish ancestry or Jewish ethnic characteristics, the Department of Education shall take into consideration the definition of antisemitism as part of the Department’s assessment of whether the practice was motivated by antisemitic intent.

Should have made it Transexual Anti semitism awareness. Then all the dims would be for it.
