Imagine if all schools did this. What is stopping them?
Campus Reform reports:
Florida public universities to check if classes are anti-Semitic or anti-IsraelFlorida’s State University System has directed state universities to verify if some classes promote anti-Semitism or hostility to Israel.On Aug. 2, Ray Rodrigues, the chancellor of the State University System, wrote an email to university presidents in the UF system to follow up on a July 29 call.During the July call, the university leaders were asked to verify if faculty committees at their respective schools could “review relevant course resources such as textbooks and test banks for either antisemitic material and/or anti-Israeli bias before the beginning of fall semester.”The course review would specifically focus on classes on “terrorism, Middle Eastern studies, religion, and government.”In his follow up email, Rodrigues wrote that the universities should conduct reviews to “flag all instances of either antisemitism or anti-Israeli bias identified, and report that information to my office.”University workers were asked to search for keywords such as “Israel,” “Palestine,” “Middle East,” “Zionism,” and “Judaism” in course materials.The review of courses is not the only means that Florida is pursuing to crack down on anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias on its campuses.In July, the University of Florida suspended several students who were arrested during disruptive anti-Israel demonstrators on April 29. A spokesperson for the school said: “This is not complicated. The University of Florida is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children — they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they’ll face the consequences.”
