Volume 13, Issue 29:
"This week, I was honored to attend the White House Hanukkah Party hosted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, and had the thrill of witnessing the President sign an executive order that will grant the same constitutional protection to Jewish students as other minority students on college campuses. As many of you are aware, EMET has been working for years and years on the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act and because it was blocked in the house, the President decided to sign an executive order to make it the law of the land. I was particularly thrilled to hear the following words of the President:
'Today, we are taking another historic action. In just a few moments, I will sign an executive order to combat anti-Semitism. This action makes clear that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act— which prohibits the federal funding of universities and other institutions that engage in discrimination— applies to institutions that traffic in Anti-Semitic hate… This is our message to universities: if you want to accept the tremendous amount of federal dollars that you get every year, you must reject anti-Semitism.'"

** An Antidote to the Metastasizing Cancer of Anti-Semitism in America ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Every day, on scores and scores of college campuses throughout America, Jewish students have quietly been subjected to harassment, intimidation and bullying for the crime of being Jewish or pro-Israel.
U.S President Donald Trump is about to change all that.
He will be righting a tremendous wrong. This is a necessary antidote to the rapidly metastasizing cancer of anti-Semitism that has been legitimized within the college campus and classroom.
For years and years, my organization, EMET, has been championing the passage of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, a bill introduced in the Senate by Sen. Tim Scott, (R-S.C.), and in the House by Rep. Doug Collins, (R-Ga.). This bill would give Jewish students the same constitutional protections as African-American, Hispanic, handicapped and almost any other minority on college campuses.
