It makes people of “actual or perceived shared Jewish ancestry or Jewish ethnic characteristics” a protected class.
Someone should put a chart together of the official America Caste system and the occasional deck shuffling over the last forty years.
Thanks for the source. A rarity in a FR post.
A BILL
To provide for the consideration of a definition of antisemitism set forth by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance for the enforcement of Federal antidiscrimination laws concerning education programs or activities, and for other purposes....
SEC. 2. Sense of Congress.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.), prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance;
(2) while such title does not cover discrimination based solely on religion, individuals who face discrimination based on actual or perceived shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics do not lose protection under such title for also being members of a group that share a common religion;
(3) discrimination against Jews may give rise to a violation of such title when the discrimination is based on race, color, or national origin, which can include discrimination based on actual or perceived shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics;
(4) it is the policy of the United States to enforce such title against prohibited forms of discrimination rooted in antisemitism as vigorously as against all other forms of discrimination prohibited by such title;.... (3) On December 11, 2019, Executive Order 13899 extended protections against discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to individuals subjected to antisemitism on college and university campuses and tasked Federal agencies to consider the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism when enforcing title VI of such Act.
SEC. 5. Rule of construction for title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Antisemitism is wrong, but this seems redundant, sinceIn 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.
"At the federal level, hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of the victim’s perceived or actual race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability. Most state hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of race, color, and religion; many also include crimes committed on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability."
People may be offended or upset about beliefs that are untrue or based upon false stereotypes, but it is not a crime to express offensive beliefs, or to join with others who share such views. However, the First Amendment does not protect against committing a crime, just because the conduct is rooted in philosophical beliefs.- https://www.justice.gov/hatecrimes/learn-about-hate-crimesIt seems to me that this would not forbid antifa antisemitism protests any more than current laws do, except on restricted venues.
But all that needs to be done to ensure that this additional bill does not pass is to add specifically conservative Christians to the list.
Well, who just recently got their head bashed by a bunch of commies on campus?
It was a Jew.
Who are Commies and Neo-Nazis online threatening and constantly claiming are at fault for all your problems, including you stubbing your toe this morning?
On the Jews.
I don’t know if this law is necessary or even useful, but it’s not wild to say that Jews are a special target for maniacs.
So my genealogy makes me a protected class now? Give me reparations and watch your mouth goyim cause shlomo will toss your butt in the slammer, you say anything but flattery!
Let's see: I like to haggle; I love eating Gabila’s knishes; Borscht Belt humor tickles my funny bone, and am frugal. Mazel tov! I'm now a member of a protected class.
Well then, I am now Jewish and so is my wife
