When DEI Measures Crush Free Speech - Opinion Piece

Jeffrey Aaron Snyder writes: This distinction is often conveniently overlooked by ideologically motivated students who invoke diversity mantras to try to shut down political speech. Last year, when the student government at the University of Michigan released a statement accusing the Israeli government of war crimes, Hillel responded by saying that the “inflammatory” statement hurt many Jewish students, making them “feel unseen and unrepresented.” Tactics like these speak to a growing trend in recent years to “equate criticism of Israeli state policies with anti-Semitism.”
