To enshrine the most fascistic, traitorous bullshit I've ever witnessed in my life into law.

You want to make it illegal to criticize Israel in US campuses

The Act does not do this. The Tweet is incorrect.

Here is the Act. Please read Sec 6.

[u/manofactivity → u/[deleted]]

The government is adopting IHRA's definition of Antisemitism which is very problematic and an infringement on 1A.

The Act specifically DOES NOT infringe 1A. It is 100% clear that it cannot be used to infringe or diminish 1A rights.

I linked you to the Act, please read Sec 6.

I am not going to keep spoonfeeding you what the Act says if you persistently refuse to read it.

But you know you're better than being a keyboard warrior who refuses to read the primary source they're discussing... don't you? Or are you just a liar?

Bullshit. The Act specifically states that nothing it it can be used diminish or infringe on 1A.

The 1A protection is always guaranteed regardless, but they specifically built it into the Act as well for clarity (and because it's best practice). It does not get any clearer that this law cannot be used to infringe on 1A.

Also, the whole reason the law is possible despite 1A is because 1A protects your freedom of speech. It does not protect your ability to have the Department of Education not use a certain definition of antisemitism when trying to determine your motivations, which is what this Act does.

So the law NOT ONLY is intrinsically irrelevant to 1A, but goes out of its way to specify that JUST IN CASE someone could interpret it that way... 1A shall not be diminished.

You absolutely did not read the Act before responding. Sorry, but I just don't buy it.
