RT @NewYorkStateAG: I'm suing to stop @BetsyDeVosED & the @usedgov from repealing a rule that provides protections for students enrolled in for-profit colleges & ensures they're prepared for gainful employment. We must protect students' education, not further the interests of for-profit colleges. 2PLAN22 http://twitter.com/2PLAN22/status/1275903434219233289

What is the Ideal Strategy for the Libertarian Party?

@ComicDaveSmith educating @nsarwark on what a successful strategy for the liberty movement (via the @LPNational entails i.e. RonPaul approach: principled radical abolitionism.

[1] Abolitionism was a movement to end private slavery. #Libertarianism is a movement to end private and public slavery. — Jakub Bozydar Wisniewski

[2] The word 'radical' comes up several times in the debate. It's important because it strikes at the root of the issue: https://conza.tumblr.com/post/176801273794/radical-abolitionists (HT: @MurrayRothbard)... a stellar excerpt from "Do You Hate the State?. A passion for justice is the essence of #libertarianism

[3] What made @RonPaul so special? http://tiny.cc/RPstrategy | He was essentially both an educator & abolitionist at the same time. As a radical he called for the abolition of the #IRS, #CIA, #FBI, @usedgov, @DHSgov, @USDOL, the @federalreserve & bring the troops home immediately.. 

[4]@RepRonPaul did this in the national mainstream debates & throughout his campaign—while avoiding the pitfalls of opportunism. Why did @RandPaul fail to maintain the rEVOLution? He dropped the radical/abolitionist approach. The anti-establishment vote went to @realDonaldTrump 

[5] Urge immediate abolition as earnestly as we may, it will, alas! be gradual abolition in the end. We have never said that slavery would be overthrown by a single blow; that it ought to be, we shall always contend. —William Lloyd Garrison, The Liberator, 1831 #success 

[6] The pattern repeats itself so often that it almost seems to be a law of history: radicals who change history must do so over the resistance of the moderates, who claim to be friendly to the same cause, but somehow always end up on the side of established interests —@lewrockwell

[7] What does a successful liberty platform/approach look like for @LPNational? The 10 Principles @RonPaul followed to build the liberty movement where differences were happily put aside: http://lprc.org/tenpoints

[8] Summary—1) Principled Populism, 2) Rights Are Primary, 3) Power Elite Analysis, 4) Resistance & The Oppressed, 5) No Compromise, 6) No Particular Order, 7) Strategic Centrism, 8) Radical Abolitionism, 9) Anti-Imperialism & Centrality of Foreign Policy, 10) Anti-State Coalition

[9] What about a solution for some of the internal issues @nsarwark raised about libertarian 'diversity' within the LP? Simple—take the http://lprc.org/pledge. I can't stress how much the elaborated rationale behind the pledge solves your concerns. Notice: no purity test

Mental wellness, a subject of much controversy and ideas on how to discuss. It’s something I’m so passionate about, and when the school decided to bring it into the curriculum it was shocking, and honestly I didn’t think it was a good way to discuss it, but I had no choice. Now, after so many people coming to me about it, I feel as if I have to say something. This isn’t something to ignore, it’s something impacting so many lives and if we want to help then the only way to do so is to make our voices heard. #mentalwellness #mentalhealth #highschoolclass #toxic #raiseawareness #standyourground #departmentofeducation #fldepartmentofeducation @taylorswift @usedgov @richardcorcoran @repdesantis @rondesantisfl https://www.instagram.com/p/B79WtFlJTvG/?igshid=8iyyxfmah3st

College Campuses Weigh Free Speech vs. Anti-Semitism

A recent presidential executive order declaring Judaism a nationality has further divided campus groups that either support or denounce Israel's occupation of the West Bank.

While the Trump administration says its Dec. 11 order targets anti-Semitism on campus, critics say it threatens free speech and the right to protest against the Israeli government. Anti-Semitism is hostility to or prejudice against Jews.

"If the government thinks it can sanction educational institutions for permitting students to say things like, 'I oppose Israel's West Bank settlements,' or 'Israel's treatment of Arabs is racist,' and say that the students who say those things are discriminating against Jews as a race, color, or national origin group, well, then the government is nuts," said Don Herzog, First Amendment expert and professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor School of Law.

Herzog was referencing student and campus movements that oppose Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and Israeli settlements, such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS). SJP started at the University of California-Berkeley in 1993, and has more than 80 chapters in the U.S. and Canada. BDS was started on the West Bank in 2007 and has spread to college campuses in the U.S. and worldwide. 

Those who support the executive order lauded U.S. President Donald Trump.

"We appreciate @realDonaldTrump's decision to give the @usedgov the authority to counter discrimination against Jewish students," the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a pro-Israel lobbying group in the U.S., said in a Dec. 11 tweet.

We appreciate @realDonaldTrump's decision to give the @usedgov the authority to counter discrimination against Jewish students. For far too long Jewish students have been targeted, harassed and silenced on campus for supporting the Jewish state.

— AIPAC (@AIPAC) December 11, 2019

The order will "recognize the importance of the problem" and gives "the Jewish people and the land of Israel large-scale recognition and acceptance, something President Trump should be commended for," said Syracuse University student Katie Berman.

Student Sari Leff, a senior at the University of Georgia, saw it differently.

"It may end up inciting more hatred and violence than we are already seeing. … The executive order feels incredibly inauthentic," Leff said. "The intention appears to be to criminalize criticism of Israel rather than protect the safety of American Jews on college campuses."

On college campuses, hate crimes increased from 862 to 1,070 between 2015 and 2016, a 25% increase, and continues to climb, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, which analyzed FBI data of hate crimes on college campuses.

Increased awareness

Some people, including Trump, say the BDS movement has led to anti-Semitism because it has increased awareness about the conflict between the Israeli and Palestinian governments. On its website, the Anti-Defamation League, an international pro-Jewish and Israel nongovernmental organization, said, "The founding goals of the BDS movement and many of the strategies used by BDS campaigns are anti-Semitic."

An Indiana University fraternity was suspended Dec. 15 because of anti-Semitic and racist slurs. The Intrafraternity Council stated it is investigating the "disturbing increase of alleged anti-Semitic incidents," according to University of Indiana's student-run newspaper Indiana Daily Student. 

Syracuse University suspended a fraternity's social activities Nov. 20 because of anti-Semitic events, including swastika graffiti.  

BDS supporters push back on these depictions.

"The purpose of BDS is to fight for human rights, and is not about hostility or discrimination against the ethnic or national identity of the people of Israel," said Ramin Zareian, a junior at the University of Georgia and a campus BDS organizer.  

"We want to use BDS and explain what it is, and talk about how it can be used to protest Israeli goods, lobbyists and right-wing supporters," said Jojo Darazim, vice president of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at University of Georgia.

Cut contracts

Shelby Shoup, president of SJP at Florida State University, said the group is "pressuring Florida State University to cut contracts with companies that profit from Israeli occupation" and that they "fight for Palestinian dignity and freedom" with BDS.

The liberal nonprofit Jewish advocacy group J Street, however, said in a statement it believes "the prime driver of anti-Semitism in this country is the xenophobic, white nationalist far-right" and called the order "misguided," "harmful" and "cynical." 

"If President Trump truly wanted to address the scourge of anti-Semitism he helped to create, he would accept responsibility for his role emboldening white nationalism, perpetuating anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, and repeating stereotypes," said Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America in the organization's press release, which also called the order "the height of hypocrisy."

The executive order could allow the U.S. Department of Education to deny funding to schools that receive federal funding if they are perceived as discriminating "on the basis of race, color, and national origin," as stated by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The U.S. State Department's example on their website for anti-Semitism says "manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel."
