Protect Free Speech on Campus - For Jewish Students Too
(Commentary) Seth Mandel - The University of California dispatched a task force to its campuses to interview Jewish students. They found that things were just fine for students who openly criticized Israel, but were far less comfortable for Jewish students who supported Israel openly and even for those who refused to join in the routine condemnation of Israel found around campus and in classrooms. The U.S. Department of Education's civil rights office announced this month that it has opened an investigation into whether the school is fostering a hostile atmosphere for Jewish students by permitting anti-Semitism to thrive on campus.
