DOWNLOAD IT WHILE IT’S HOT: My friend and namesake David L. Bernstein–author of the extremely timely book Woke Antisemitism–and I have a new article forthcoming this month, Supporting Free Speech and Countering Antisemitism on American College Campuses.

In short, universities don’t have to, and should not, infringe on anyone’s freedom of speech to crack down on antisemitism. They just need to enforce university policy and the law. This means expelling students who engage in vandalism, harassment, building takeovers, illegal encampments, class disruptions, violence, and so on, firing professors who discriminate against Jewish, Israeli, or “Zionist” students, and ensuring that administrators, including faculty who have administrative roles, don’t play use those roles to engage in antisemitic discrimination.

Also, no ideologically driven double standards: “The basic test for university enforcement of conduct rules should be this: if a group of student white supremacists was engaging in this behavior, are there existing rules that could be enforced and therefore would be enforced to stop them? If the answer is yes,” then just enforce the rules, period, zero tolerance.

For the full argument, read the whole thing.

Bonus fun fact: David L.’s book came out around the same time as my book Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America. We both had the same editor: David S. Bernstein.
