Orthodox Jewish Student Files Lawsuit Against Columbia Over ‘Virulently Hostile’ Environment
“Columbia University failed Mackenzie and decided to launch a retaliatory campaign instead of protecting her from Jew-hatred”
It’s surprising that there are not multiple lawsuits over this. Columbia has been terrible on this issue for months now.
FOX News reports:
Orthodox Jewish student sues Columbia over ‘virulently hostile’ environment in the wake of Oct. 7 attack
A Jewish student at Columbia University is suing the school over what she claims was an “explosion” of antisemitism since the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, according to reports.
Mackenzie Forrest, a 23-year-old graduate student, filed the lawsuit against the Ivy League institution claiming she faced discrimination because she’s an Orthodox Jew and Sabbath observer, Bloomberg News reported. Forrest said protests calling for the genocide of Jews and antisemitic manifestos in the School of Social Work where she studied created a “virulently hostile” environment after the Hamas attack against the Jewish state.
Forrest said her rights under Title VI of the US Civil Rights Act of 1964 were compromised, alleging the school “violated federal and state anti-discrimination laws that prohibit discrimination and retaliation against Jewish persons” and failed to enforce its own rules of conduct to prevent “anti-Jewish harassment, threats, intimidation and hostile environments,” the Columbia Spectator reported.
“Columbia University failed Mackenzie and decided to launch a retaliatory campaign instead of protecting her from Jew-hatred,” said Brooke Goldstein, Founder and Executive Director of the Lawfare Project. “If the university had provided her with the appropriate accommodations that she is legally entitled to, we would not be in this situation. Columbia, like any other college and university, must protect the civil rights of their students and provide them with safe learning environments free of discrimination.”
The move came on the same day Columbia was added to a U.S. House Committee investigation on campus antisemitism. On Monday, the committee sent a letter to Columbia and its trustees requesting documents and information regarding various incidents that they believe show the school failed to protect its Jewish students in the week and months after the October attack, which left at least 1,200 Israelis dead and led to the capture of over 250 hostages.

Lets hope that two things are true
1. The judge is not a Democrat (case will be dismissed if he is)
2. Judge is not a supporter of Tucker Carlson (case will be dismissed with the Jews being required to compensate the University and Court if he is)
The Demos want lawfare, they got lawfare.
This isn’t lawfare.
you mean dems want warfare
pro israel students are not aware
classes are taught in anti americanism >>israel
either get together in large groups to defend yourselves or find “other ways”
to protect yourselves
At which point the University will expel them all together.
The only way for them is the court system.
