The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is suing Northwestern University on behalf of the school’s Graduate Workers for Palestine, alleging that subjecting students to a mandatory anti-Semitism training violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to a complaint obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The complaint argues that the training violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits any organization that receives federal funds from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin—and says the training bans "expressions of Palestinian identity."

"Under the pretense of combating antisemitism, Defendant Northwestern University has enacted policies and practices that prohibit expressions of Palestinian identity, culture, and advocacy for self-determination and silence those, including Jewish students, who express solidarity with Palestinians or even engage in critical academic engagement with Zionism," the complaint reads.

Apparently they believe it is their civil right to kill Jews.
REINSTATE THE CONSTITUTION AS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND!!!
At least a civil right not to be presented with an argument or video against hating Jews. The right not to be contradicted, I suppose. CRA has been used to justify racial preferences and quotas, at least until SCOTUS put a stop to it. Now it’s being used to justify a “right” to practice another form of discrimination. It needs to be redrafted or revised.
Has there ever been a country named Palestine? The eariest reference I found was when Yasser Arafat addressed the UN, pistol in his belt, was Nov. 13, 1974 when he represented the PLO.It was the first time the leader of a non-state organization (the Palestine Liberation Organization, or PLO) was invited to address the UN. (Quote from ChatGPT.) In other words, there was no Palestine at that time. I am unaware that its "non-state has changed.
Looks that way. This nation is full of evil people.
Now we know who is behind the indoctrination of “useful” liberals, and the riots on college campuses. Militant Islamization under the cover of civil liberties sponsored by CAIR, other “religion of peace” operatives.
CAIR is a terrorist front group.
I have old books which reference Palestine seemingly as a country...long before Arafat
Millions of Americans have been subjected to required racial, ethnic, and gender “sensitivity training” as a condition of attending their schools, universities, and places of employment. Great numbers of minority “consultants” feed off of this.
CAIR’s legal theory, applied fairly and universally, would kill all of this Mao-ist Re-education as un-Constitutional. Somehow I doubt “applied fairly” is part of their intention, but the concept has merit.
CAIR don’t care about anything but islam
Ironic and interesting.
“Palestine” was the name for the British Mandate, in effect from 1918 through 1948, and “Palestinian” referred to Jews, Christians, Muslims, Samaritans and Druze living in that area. Jews fighting alongside British regulars in WW II were called “Palestinians”. When the Mandate was partitioned in 1921, the new state of Transjordan was created and those living in that area were no longer called “Palestinians”.
It actually goes back to a Roman administrative province renamed in the 2’nd century AD, and is used generally as a geographical region name, not of a recognized country or state.
If you apply it to other situations, whites should have the right to identify as whites by being racist against blacks. Why, sheets and hoods are a part of their identity. They can’t help it, it’s in their genetic makeup. They just gotta burn a cross and call black young men “boy” and older ones “uncle”. Just like blacks should be allowed to call whites “honkeys,” “ofay,” or “whitey”. This is absurdity on stilts. As for sensitivity training, it’s a stupid leftover from a bygone time, the Pre-Trump era.
That’s how it started, “Palestina,” after the Philistines mentioned in the Bible. Ironically, the word is derived from the Hebrew word “Palash,” which means “to invade”.
Thx
If they win, the floodgate of suits against progressivism will open.
