The texts, which faculty members said appeared to have gone to nearly all Barnard staff members, appear to be part of an aggressive new tactic by the Trump administration to collect reports of alleged antisemitism at Barnard, a women’s college affiliated with Columbia University that has come under heavy criticism for pro-Palestinian demonstrations on its campus.
That’s not what this admin is doing though. They’re taking a few random reports of something, pointing at people NOT doing that, and using that to attach their actual valid free speech against the horrible acts our government is fully supporting in another country.
This is a classic “for the children”-esque civil rights assault.
I’m not sure why YOU don’t understand this.
They’re not actually trying to solve the problem they’re talking about. You’re like “yes please, take my rights, hopefully it will help this niche situation” it won’t. It was never meant to.
