Team Trump is making a list of Jews--what could go wrong? [View all]

In a chilling move that echoes Nazi Germany, the Trump administration is making a list of Jews—supposedly for their own good.

The Intercept reported on Wednesday that professors at Barnard College in New York City received a text message to their personal cellphones with a survey from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that asked recipients if they identify as one of the following options: “I am Jewish,” “I am Israeli,” “I have shared Jewish/Israeli ancestry,” “I practice Judaism,” and “Other.”

Professor Debbie Becher, who is Jewish, told the outlet, “The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister.”

The questions on the Barnard text were written under the guise of the Trump administration purportedly trying to root out antisemitism on college campuses. But this excuse is a Trojan horse for attacking dissent on college campuses—to the point of disappearing people—and pushing an anti-immigrant agenda.
