Feds Open Investigation Into ‘Deep-Seated Anti-Semitic Discrimination’ at Berkeley Law School

Why just Berkeley? It’s every college and university in the country. Harvard University ranks first in antisemitism.

My colleagues and I, passionate, proud Jews, have long been banned from colleges and universities while American Jewish leadership sat by and licked the boots of their leftwing masters.

Feds Open Investigation Into ‘Deep-Seated Anti-Semitic Discrimination’ at Berkeley Law School — Prestigious school probed for creating unsafe environment for Jews

Berkeley student groups banned Zionist speakers from campus

By: Adam Kredo • WFB December 15, 2022:

The Department of Education is investigating the University of California, Berkeley, Law School over allegations that the school is fostering “profound and deep-seated anti-Semitic discrimination” that has created an unsafe environment for Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus.

The Education Department earlier this week disclosed its investigation after attorneys raised concerns over a cadre of student groups at Berkeley that banned Zionist speakers from campus. The attorneys said the ban constitutes a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prevents recipients of federal funds from discriminating based on race and national origin, according to the original complaint.

Federal authorities will investigate Berkeley to determine if the school “failed to respond appropriately in the fall 2022 semester to notice from Jewish law students, faculty, and staff that they experienced a hostile environment at the law school based on their shared Jewish ancestry when university-recognized student organizations passed a bylaw against inviting speakers who support ‘Zionism, the state of Israel, and the occupation of Palestine,'” according to the Education Department.

The investigation is the culmination of a prolonged battle between Israel’s defenders and anti-Semitic Berkeley student groups that have been trying to intimidate and threaten Jewish and pro-Israel students. Berkeley has become a poster child for the rising tide of anti-Semitism plaguing many college campuses across the nation. Jewish and pro-Israel students are being targeted at historic levels, with one study showing that these types of assaults on Jewish identity doubled in the 2021-2022 academic year. The federal investigation into Berkeley Law School is a sign that the Education Department is aware this trend is dangerous.

Florida-based attorney Gabriel Groisman and the International Legal Forum, a global watchdog that fights anti-Semitism in late November first petitioned the Education Department’s Office on Civil Rights to open an investigation into the prestigious law school.

Groisman and Arsen Ostrovsky, the International Legal Forum’s CEO, said in a joint statement that the discrimination against Jewish students at schools like Berkeley is fueling anti-Semitism across America at a time when prominent celebrities and athletes such as Kanye West and Kyrie Irving are mainstreaming these attitudes. West and Irving have both been under fire for promoting anti-Semitic canards about Jewish wealth and power.

“We initiated this claim because we said ‘enough is enough’ and decided that we must stand up for the Jewish students at U.C. Berkeley, who have been facing an unprecedented wave of discrimination and anti-Semitism on campus,” Ostrovsky and Groisman said. “Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. Zionism is an integral component of the Jewish identity.”

A Berkeley Law School spokesman, when contacted by the Washington Free Beacon, confirmed the Education Department investigation and said the school will “fully cooperate” with the probe into violations of Title VI, a portion of the Civil Rights Act that grants protection from discrimination based on race, color, gender, and national origin.

“U.C. Berkeley has been informed by the Department of Education that an investigation has been opened into allegations that the university’s response to a bylaw adopted by Berkeley Law student organizations violated Title VI,” the spokesman said, adding that the school “has in place strong anti-discrimination policies that support our belief in and compliance with what we understand to be the values and obligations enshrined in Title VI and the First Amendment.”

That sign that this person is holding up is the epitome of ignorance, at a University, of all place, which is supposed to be an institution of higher education.

This is rather obvious that the stealth jihadists by from CAIR, MSA or from Saudi Arabia have been very busy infiltrating and influencing those impressionable young students on many American colleges and universities. Even at Barkley law school.

All those professor and students need to and should go a look up the wisdom of the former US President, William Howard Taft, rightly , declared in a speech that “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out it has no place in America.”

I really do not see anything good coming from this investigation as the ones doing the investigating are the Anti-Semites.

Nope, the Feds just said that because that’s what should be done and that doesn’t mean they will do anything and under the current corrupt Government and all the organizations who are in bed with them, there is no way they care for something they all created so in other words, they won’t be doing diddly and will lie and say there is no Deep-Seated Anti-Semitic Discrimination here, have a nice day and go back to lying about Jan.6 and help destroy our Country some more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Problem with lying is, once you start………………..well hint hint! You get the picture.

We are seeing the fruit of the seeds of islam planted by Barrak Heussein Obama. The Obama from his first day corrupted every institution in America. Islam has declared war on America and Western Civilization and is constantly attacking with treachery and deceit. Why don’t we recognize that the Obama is “bitch slapping” America?

LOL Berkley has been at it since the 60’s protesting Vietnam and almost everything else since then. And now you are all worried about it? You mean 62 year later you are worried? But you keep re-electing the same POS to Congress that do nothing about it.

With all due respect, Beserkley hasn’t been mainstream sane since the mid 1960s.
