New York University is creating a dangerous precedent that can be used to squash campus protests against Israel’s war on Gaza.
New York University led by troubling example when the school shared an updated code of student conduct last week. Ostensibly aimed at curtailing bigotry, the new language instead shuts down dissent by threatening to silence criticism of Zionism on campus. Students who speak out against Zionism — an ethno-nationalist political ideology founded in the late 19th century — will now risk violating the school’s nondiscrimination policies.[...]
Tucked into a document purportedly offering clarification on school policy, the new NYU guidelines introduce an unprecedented expansion of protected classes to include “Zionists” and “Zionism.” Referring to the university’s nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policy, known as NDAH, the updated conduct guide says, “Speech and conduct that would violate the NDAH if targeting Jewish or Israeli people can also violate the NDAH if directed toward Zionists.”[...]
“Using code words, like ‘Zionist,’” the guide says, “does not eliminate the possibility that your speech violates the NDAH policy.”[...]
The entire premise of the guidance — that “Zionist” must be functioning as a “code word — is a flaw egregious enough to reject the entire document outright.
The language here is of utmost importance. The text does not say that “Zionist” can and has been used by antisemites as a code word, which is no doubt true. Instead, it takes it as a given that, when used critically, “Zionist” simply is a code word.[...]
According to NYU’s guidance, then, Zionist and Zionism are either antisemitic dog whistles when invoked critically or a protected category akin to a race, ethnicity, or religious identity. Ethically committed and politically informed anti-Zionism — including the beliefs of many anti-Zionist Jews like myself who reject the conflation of our identity and heritage with an ethnostate project — is foreclosed, and the long history of Jewish anti-Zionism, which has existed as long as Zionism itself, is all but erased.[...]
“For many Jewish people, Zionism is a part of their Jewish identity,” the NYU guidance says. And this is of course true. That does not, however, make Zionism an essential part of Jewish identity.
There are conservative Christians for whom the damnation of homosexuality is a key part of their Christian faith too, but Republican lawfare to see homophobic positions enshrined as protected religious expression have been rightly and consistently condemned by the liberal mainstream.
“The new guidance sets a dangerous precedent by extending Title VI protections to anyone who adheres to Zionism, a nationalist political ideology, and troublingly equates criticism of Zionism with discrimination against Jewish people,” NYU’s Faculty for Justice in Palestine said in a statement in response to the updated conduct guide.[...]
“Furthermore, the new guidance implies that any nationalist political ideology (Hindu nationalism, Christian nationalism, etc.) that is integrated into some members of that group’s understanding of their own racial or ethnic identity should be entitled to civil rights protections.”
im always like "im so busy i need to animate this and finish my film that and conceptualize this..." and then i turn around and start work on a hinata mitski animatic
[ID: A digital illustration of Duck Team, with Callie and Calder each lifting Sol by an arm and letting him swing between them.
Callie is a watery eladrin with wave-like bangs and her hair in a bubble ponytail. Her skin is light blue and long pointy ears. She wears a yellow raincoat and boots, and a dark blue crop-top and knee-length shorts. There's a green band around one of the legs of her shorts. She holds a translucent umbrella over one shoulder, and smiles softly as she looks over at Sol, a slight blush to her cheeks.
Calder is a tall frost giant, with short white hair and a beard, and light blue skin. His ears are slightly pointed. He wears a cropped dark blue jacket with white fur at the cuffs and collar. A yellow cape hangs off of one of his shoulder, attached with a leather belt across his chest. He wears brown pants tucked into tall, furred boots. He's also smiling as he looks down at Sol. Foster, a white duck with an orange bill, rests perched on his shoulder.
Sol is hanging between Callie and Calder, his legs bent up as he swings. He's a bullywug with light green speckled skin, lighter under his chin. He has round yellow cheeks, and a wide grin across his face. He wears a yellow scarf, a blue sweater with a diamond-shaped window in his chest, and dark blue shorts. There are wraps around his feet and ankles.
The background is a soft light green rectangle, and the artist's signature "Sekaiikun" is written beneath Sol with a heart next to it.]
