  1. This will go poorly for The Jews™ 🫠

    "#Australian #universities will be required to adopt definitions on #antisemitism, #Islamophobia and #racism towards #Aboriginal and #TorresStraitIslander people from next year, under a legally enforceable standard designed to stamp out #discrimination on #campuses.

    Details of the #antiracism standard will be published on Monday as #university bosses, #students and #academics prepare to appear at the royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion.

    A separate set of governance principles will also become enforceable standards, including an obligation on public universities to publish vice-chancellor salaries, spending on consultants and the outcome of board meetings.

    The introduction of a formal anti-racism standard was part of the antisemitism plan that the federal government published after the #Bondimassacre, and a recommendation from the #HumanRightsCommission’s landmark report on racism at #Australia’s universities."

  3. "The #Hamas murderous attacks of #October7, 2023, and the #war that followed transformed the landscape of #antisemitism across #Europe. What began as outrage over a conflict in the #MiddleEast quickly spilled onto #European streets, #campuses, workplaces and #online platforms. Too often, the distinction between criticisms the policies of the #Israeli government and #Jewish citizens living in Europe simply disappeared.

    This is perhaps the most significant change of all. Increasingly, #Jews in #Paris, #Berlin, #Brussels or #London are treated not primarily as #French, #German, #Belgian or #British citizens, but as representatives of Israel, expected to answer for events thousands of kilometers away. #Collectiveresponsibility, one of history's oldest prejudices, has returned in modern form.

    Jews are singled out in a way no other #religious, #ethnic or national community in Europe is that is connected to one of the dozens of conflicts currently raging across the globe."

  13. #Texas just gutted #FreeSpeech on #college #campuses. Is your state next?

    New laws in the Lone Star State will silence dissent and undermine #faculty authority.

    By Laura Benitez and Jonathan Friedman
    July 14, 2025

    "As thousands of students return to college campuses this fall, they will find themselves stepping into an environment reshaped by political and ideological mandates. Across the country, state legislators have been racing to exert new influence over free expression in higher education. Now, Texas has surged to the forefront, closing its 2025 legislative session by passing two alarming laws that take effect Sept. 1.

    "Signed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in June, the new laws amount to a stunningly aggressive legislative crackdown on campus protest (#SB2972) and academic shared governance (#SB37) at public colleges and universities. The laws will not just silence dissent and undermine faculty authority in Texas; they provide a blueprint for how to dismantle academic freedom and chill speech on campus state by state.

    "Only a few years ago, conservative lawmakers railed against college 'free-speech zones,' arguing that liberal administrators were muzzling students on the rest of campus. In 2019, Texas legislators joined other states in taking action by declaring all outdoor spaces on public campuses open for protest and speech by students, employees and the general public.

    "Now, some of the same legislators have done an about-face. The campus protest law actually directs public colleges and universities to implement a version of free-speech zones and adopt sweeping limitations on protests. #Encampments? Banned. #Megaphones or #speakers during 'class hours'? Forbidden — if anyone claims your 'expressive activity' is one that 'intimidates others' or 'interferes' with an employee’s duties. Even wearing a mask during a protest — something many do for safety — could land a student or employee a disciplinary hearing resulting in 'sanctions.' And any expressive activity between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. is off-limits altogether."

  19. Looks like the American Association of University Professors agrees with me!

    #AAUP, Allies Sue over #Trump Policy of Arresting and Threatening to Deport #Students and #Faculty for #LawfulSpeech

    "The national AAUP; chapters at #Harvard, #Rutgers, and #NYU; and the #MiddleEastStudies Association today filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members who participate in #ProPalestinian #protests and other protected #FirstAmendment activities.

    "We believe that the administration’s ideological-deportation policy violates the First Amendment by targeting constitutionally protected speech that Americans have a right to hear and engage with. The policy has created a climate of fear and repression on campuses around the country. We are represented in the case by the #KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute at #ColumbiaUniversity, #AhilanArulanantham, and Zimmer, Citron & Clarke LLP.

    "Following executive orders issued by President Trump in January, the federal agencies that enforce immigration laws have arrested and detained several people associated with U.S. colleges and universities, including a legal permanent resident, on the basis of constitutionally protected speech and association.

    "Today’s filing argues that the ideological-deportation policy has created a climate of #repression and intense fear on university #campuses, 'terrorizing students and faculty for their exercise of First Amendment rights in the past, intimidating them from exercising those rights now, and silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors.'

    "'The Trump administration is going after international #scholars and students who speak their minds about #Palestine, but make no mistake: they won't stop there. They'll come next for those who teach the history of #slavery or who provide #GenderAffirming health care or who research #ClimateChange or who counsel students about their reproductive choices. We all have to draw a line together—as the old labor movement slogan says: an injury to one is an injury to all,' says AAUP President Todd Wolfson.

    "'The First Amendment means the government can’t arrest, detain, or deport people for lawful political expression—it’s as simple as that. This practice is one we’d ordinarily associate with the most repressive political regimes, and it should have no place in our democracy,' says #JameelJaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute."
