Stop Pacifying the Government and the Right

Read My Piece at the Daily Forward

I have a piece up at the Daily Forward piece, this one the failure of university leadership around the country to push back against charges of campus antisemitism.

Schools like Rutgers and the University of California system are settling U.S. Department of Education complaints and in doing so admitting to creating or allowing the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students and faculty. This is a sop to conservatives and groups like the ADL, and ultimately will create new systems that will chill campus speech and do nothing for students.
