The Republicans ginned up a new Wisconsin law which Evers signed.
Here's an example of "anti-Semitism" from the guidepost cited:
Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish
collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country
cannot be regarded as antisemitic.
Oh. So one may criticize the State of Israel, but ONLY IF one also criticizes any other country for 'similar' offenses.
The main guideline?
" Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews."
How bad is this thing?
... Opponents of the measure argued that some of the examples used by the IHRA in support of the definition conflated political criticism of Israeli government actions with antisemitism — exposing people to being accused of antisemitism, or possibly facing criminal penalties, for criticizing Israel’s response to the Palestinian population or advocating on their behalf....
However, Rep Tusler (R) inserted a provision protecting free speech (and thought) for anyone on a college campus.
He recognized the First Amendment for college profs and students!!! This is to be praised. Right? Right???
