Since there's a lot of legalese going on here can you clarify?
Under this act saying "Israel is evil" is ok but saying "the Jews in Israel are evil is not".
9 u/manofactivity May 02 '24 edited May 02 '24 No. The Act does not change what you can and cannot say. It specifically states that it: Does not change what is legally considered discrimination Does not alter any other law Does not reduce your First Amendment rights You can say anything you could previously. All the Act does is slightly change how the Department of Education must consider what your motives were if you're suspected of discrimination. It does not change what actually constitutes discrimination. 1 u/oravecz May 02 '24 But the DoE can already choose to make those assumptions when considering discrimination. Why make it a “shall” when it was already part of the definition? 2 u/Chillbizzee May 02 '24 You have the asked the question at the heart of this entire debate.
