In before “but trump is worse!!” Crowd.
This is awful, it’s a fascist move, and any one who supports it is a fascist. This includes Biden, even if Trump is more of a fascist dick fuck.
you’re too late; they already dismissing it by saying that the title is misleading
also the speed by which those same comments are coming in are very suspicious and now i’m wondering if this hasn’t shown up in the fediverse by an organized concerted effort
I don’t know if these comments have been deleted or if it’s a user I blocked, but I can’t see them. Who posted them?
they’re there and probably blocked from you
Your title is badly misleading.
The House passed legislation Wednesday that would establish a broader definition of antisemitism for the Department of Education to enforce anti-discrimination laws
the illegal part is intentionally hidden in the details
This is untrue. The bill would alter the definition of antisemitism to include being critical of Israel, making such protests run afoul of title 6 of the civil rights act (1964,).
In short, it’s an absolutely fascist move to prevent protest against a genocidal regime.
Yes, the definition that’s used for the Department of Education in discrimination claims under Title VI, and only for those cases.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still bad, shouldn’t be passed, and should be found unconstitutional if it is, but it’s not making it illegal in general.
post title is misleading. it won’t make criticizing Israel illegal, but it will be legally considered hate
the illegal part is intentionally hidden in the details
