📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

The college where I am the sole tenure-line faculty in Jewish Studies is one of the 60 schools that received this letter. This will do nothing to make our Jewish students safer and will only make it harder to report actual antisemitism for fear of it being weaponized. We must not comply.

NEW—I've obtained the letter received by 60 colleges + universities from Dept. of Education re: Title VI/antisemitism.

"The prior administration remained tepid, either reaching toothless resolution agreements w/ schools or allowing complaints to accumulate. That state of affairs ended on Jan. 20."
As you are aware, since the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, the United States has endured an eruption of antisemitic activity, primarily in educational institutions. In colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, antisemitic protestors and antagonists have harassed and committed violence against Jewish students denying them equal access to educational programs and activities.' Americans watched in shock as mobs of campus malcontents erected encampments, occupied buildings, and spit on, threatened, assaulted, and blocked Jewish students from going to class or traveling about campus freely. The previous administration failed to meet the moment. Rather than direct the United States Department of Education's (Department) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to investigate the institutions that tolerated this contemptible antisemitic harassment and violence, the prior administration remained tepid, either reaching toothless resolution agreements with schools or allowing complaints to accumulate. That state of affairs ended on January 20, 2025. I write to remind you of your legal obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), and to emphasize that, under President Trump and Secretary McMahon, OCR will no longer tolerate these unlawful practices. OCR is responsible for enforcing Title VI against schools that receive financial assistance from the Department. Title VI protects all students, including students who are or are perceived to be Jewish, from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. This protection extends to antisemitic conduct if that conduct is based on actual or perceived (i) shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics, or (ii) citizenship or residency in a country with a do under Title VI to take prompt and effective steps reasonably calculated to end the harassment, eliminate any hostile environment and its effects, and prevent harassment from recurring. Put simply, failure to take sufficient measures to address antisemitic harassment based on shared ancestry violates Title VI. Under the leadership of President Trump, the widespread violation of Jewish students' civil rights across campuses will end. Pursuant to Title VI and in furtherance of Executive Order 14188, Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism, the Department has opened directed investigations into five universities where widespread antisemitic harassment has been reported, and it is currently conducting a comprehensive inventory of existing complaints alleging antisemitic harassment and violence. Moreover, the Departments of Education, Justice, Health and Human Services, and the General Services Administration have formed a multi-agency Joint Task force to Combat Anti-Semitism. One of the task force's first priorities is rooting out antisemitic harassment in schools and college campuses. On March 1, 2025, the task force announced the immediate cancellation of approximately $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University because of that school’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students. The Trump Administration's commitment to ending the scourge of antisemitism is unyielding. Schools should take all lawful and appropriate measures to protect Jewish students, faculty, and staff from the predations of antisemitic antagonists, whether in the classroom, on campus, or within educational programs and activities. Schools that allow illegal activities and harassment that result in Jewish students losing equal access to school facilities are in violation of Title VI and will be subject to potential loss of federal funding.
