Title VI of the Civil Rights Act provides that: "No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." Sue them into oblivion.

And none of that is happening.

@@17_73 Your understanding of reality is fundamentally and distinctly lacking.

[@rkreznik]

Yet, these institutions discriminate against Whites daily. Force is the necessary evil, and Whites need to gear up.

Antisemitism is institutionalized , Qatar’s money and other supporters of terrorism should be stopped , high education should be reformed. Universities became new proxies of Iran, one of the chants “Yemen, Yemen, make us proud, turn another ship around “. Prof. Foad Izadi from Tehran wrote” these protestors are our people and will support Iran in Iran-US confrontation “. Arrest, Expel, Deport .

[@agrippamarcus6533]

Actually, there is a lot more Pro-Israeli money meddling in US politics than Qatar can ever dream of, Haim Saban, Katzenberg, Spielberg, Adelson just to mention a few. Israel can do all their like to conduct genocides and take more land, but please don’t hide behind Holocaust and prenticing to be the victims while the last 70 years show a very different picture

Harvard University. The leading institute of lower learning.

[@okharren]

Among other changes, it's time to end tenure

[@privateprivate22]

Great! Agreed

[@johndeerman2105]

Ok, so now that we have learned what has been going on what can be done to correct this situation?

[@factchecker6674]

Neo-McCarthyist routing out of un-American Marxist-Leninists. That’s the first step.

[@Lyferemixed]

Tenure is not the issue. There is a difference between academic freedom and good conduct. The department and school sets the curriculum, the professors with tenure control what they research.

[@ulexite-tv]

Thanks for broadcasting this.

If its an internal report DONT TRUST IT.

[@joehutchinson24]

Just as most of us were shocked by the complete institutionalization of antisemitism in our mainstream media and our Universities, we will be without a doubt be shocked by the complete collapse of our societies in the coming years if we don't radically clamp down on this evil. We like to imagine that the Nazis were right wing in the sense that we understand right wing and that is just not the case. The Nazis believed in many aspects of socialism, such as worker's rights, state control of productions and much more. In addition to the fact a that the very nature of Jew-hatred constantly changes like a virus. The United States of America is now an antisemitic country and for the first time in our history the proliferators of this Jew-Hatred are mainstream media, elite education and important government officials. We are in a dangerous state of denial because this racism in coming from the so-called left and ironically from the so-called antiracists.

[@ZolTan-wb8fc]

Well said!

The extreme left and the extreme right meet at the point where they both want to exterminate all news.

[@billpaul9402]

This piece doesn't mention one single genuine incident of antisemitism. AntiZionism is NOT antisemitism.

[@_AmirK_]

It depends on what you define as zionism. Luckily there is a clear definition- “support of the aspirations of the Jewish people to form a political sovereign nation in the land of palestine”. If you question the legitimacy of the existence of israel- this is anti Zionism Some, myself included, would argue that by doing that, the pro Palestinians (maybe unintentionally) mix antisemitic rhetoric and overall do not distinguish between the two. Moreover Israel should exist, as a lesson from hundreds of years of persecution and the holocaust. if we agree on that we can proceed without blaming on antisemitism. But sadly people don’t understand that

[@jamesbarry1673]

Will you have anti-Semitism and racism in the republican party? I don't see you making a big stink about that

If criticism of Israeli policy is considered antisemitism, why is antisemitism anywhere a problem?

[@SafetySpooon]

Even though you are not actually asking a question, and you have already decided that you are right, I will still take the time to point out how WRONG you are. NO ONE has ever said "criticism of israeli policy is antisemitism." We say your LIES about Israel & your direct attacks on JEWISH STUDENTS is antisemitism. Which you knew already.

[@sodapopjones260]

Lots of Israel’s critics don’t seem to understand the situation Israel is in or understand its history. When the policies being criticized are a matter of safety or survival, it’s hard not to take it personally. The so-called apartheid criticism for example seems to overlook the track record of violence towards Israeli citizens and the widely ingrained beliefs that motivate this violence. Not wanting to be the target of random violence is the reason why Israelis don’t want Palestinians to have easy access to their cities and communities.

[@DaveB-w2i]

@@SafetySpooon what lies about Israel? The 17 year land, air, and sea blockade on Gaza is a lie? The garbage life you have caused a 30 year old in Gaza since they were 13 years old? Seriously, Israel is being judged for Israel's actual abuse of people. I might feel safer if I locked my neighbor who hates me in his basement. But that wouldn't justify it.

[@DaveB-w2i]

@@sodapopjones260 what about the people who live in Gaza that just want self rule and freedom from a 17 year blockade damaging their lives? It is the belief that you matter more that causes you so much il will.

[@DaveB-w2i]

@@SafetySpooon I bet you have fewer actual documented attacks on Jewish students than foreign aid workers the IDF has accidentally executed.

Nobody worried about Islamophobia after 9/11.

[@ateampossible]

In ivy league university were they protesting against Islam ? NO Were they demanding all the countries that the hijackers came from be destroyed? NO

[@aguynamedscott11]

First off, yes people did worry about Islamophobia after 9/11. Secondly 9/11 was a terrorist act committed by Muslims, not against Muslims, as is the case with Oct 7th. Thirdly Islamophobia literally defined is the irrational fear of Islam. It is reasonable to fear and hate those who engage in savage and violent behavior so it is therefore impossible for the average person to be Islamophobic. Fearing violent people is reasonable not phobic.

[@mr2981]

Are you confused about who launched the terrorist attacks in both cases? Nevermind, asked and answered.

[@CookieMendoza]

Actually, they did. It was incessantly discussed.

[@Mask-pb3ly]

@@CookieMendoza what did they do?

[@tom-kz9pb]

Trying to deflect criticism of ethnic cleansing by Israel, by broadly labeling the protests as "antisemitism", is despicable propaganda. There will always be some antisemitism, anywhere, but that is hardly the driving force behind the campus protests. The issue is atrocities being commited by the Israeli government, with inadequate response from the U.S. government.

[@SafetySpooon]

Trying to lie about what Israel is doing, when you don;t lie about other countries, is antisemitism. Your pretense otherwise is despicable propaganda.

[@PeaceIsWork]

As if we don’t know how this works. What is considered antisemitism? Any criticism at all of Zionism or Israel are included which inflate the data

[@Abcnz1989]

Lord, just educate yourself about some of the classical tropes. This hatred thrives through lies and it is millennia old. If you are conflating zionism (Jewish self determination) with something sinister, evil and conspiratorial - that would be factually inaccurate and yes antisemitic.

[@SafetySpooon]

As if we don;t know how antisemitism works. Already, you are redefining the word "Zionism" to be something negative because YOU HATE JEWS.

[@SafetySpooon]
