Once Again, First Amendment Under Assault By DOJ

DOJ probing NY City College interfaith event marred by claim of ‘openly antisemitic rhetoric’

The U.S. Justice Department has opened an investigation into an interfaith event at City College where the director of a Jewish campus organization said another speaker, an imam, berated him with “inflammatory and openly antisemitic rhetoric,” before directing students to walk out.

The Hillel director Ilya Bratman’s written account of last week’s incident in Harlem, circulated to students and faculty in a newsletter, soon went viral, prompting the Justice Department to respond on social media.

“This is deeply concerning,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who heads the Justice Department’s civil rights division, wrote Thursday on X. “[An] investigation was opened yesterday and is ongoing.”

As Jesus 2.0 (formerly known as Charlie Kirk) once remarked: 

"Hate speech does not exist legally in America," he wrote on X last year. "There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment."
