A new executive order from Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) that is supposed to direct college campuses to combat antisemitism is actually going to hurt efforts to stop antisemitism while undermining free speech and the elimination of bureaucracies dedicated to “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
On Wednesday, Abbott signed an executive order that requires all colleges in Texas to “review their free speech policies” and ensure that they have established “appropriate punishments for antisemitic rhetoric.” The executive order also indicates that punishing students for antisemitism should include expulsion.
