State Battles Antisemitism
"Citing a 'pervasive and escalating' threat of antisemitism in Massachusetts schools and workplaces, a state-appointed commission has put forth a sweeping set of recommendations aimed at combatting anti-Jewish sentiment.
"Unanimously approved last month, the report from the Special Commission on Combating Antisemitism debuted to mixed reception; while proponents praised the commission for offering a blueprint to a more welcoming Massachusetts, some critics felt its findings missed the mark.
"The non-binding recommendations call for state leaders to fight antisemitism 'the Massachusetts Way,' through a combination of proposals meant to promote inclusivity, bolster anti-bias education, and improve channels for monitoring and reporting potential hate crimes.
"The Concerned Jewish Faculty and Staff released a competing “shadow report” calling for, among other points, antisemitism training that separates Jewish identity from any nation-state or political ideology; anti-harassment policies that differentiate between prohibited harassment and protected speech; and an emphasis on open inquiry into competing ideas, including those related to Zionism, antisemitism, Israel, and Palestinian territories.
