DOES A STUDENT FREE SPEECH CASE IN CHAPPAQUA THROW UP CAUTION SIGNS ABOUT DEI POLICIES IN CROTON? NEW FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Commentary: Does a student free speech case in Chappaqua throw up caution signs about DEI policies in Croton?

A federal lawsuit brought by Horace Greeley HS student "O.J." against the Chappaqua school district suggests that policies designed to protect vulnerable groups could sometimes end up harming them.

MICHAEL BALTER--APRIL 17, 2024

As a general rule, The Croton Chronicle restricts its coverage to people and events in Croton, rather than try to cover our numerous neighboring communities. But sometimes things that happen in nearby places are relevant to our village as well. That was certainly true for our report on the latest news on the cleanup of radioactive waste at Indian Point, for example.  And in light of current debates about diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in the Croton-Harmon school district, we think it is true for a lawsuit brought this week by an LGBTQ student against the Chappaqua Central School District and top administrators for suspending him for “hate speech” against—the LGBTQ community.

We think the case has important ramifications for any school district, including our own, that is considering or enforcing DEI policies. It also raises—or should we say re-raises, since certain aspects of student free speech are a matter of settled law—the question of how far school officials should go to police speech inside and outside the classroom.  MORE AT Commentary: Does a student free speech case in Chappaqua throw up caution signs about DEI policies in Croton?

Anti-Israel protesters are disrupting our way of life and have to stop causing chaos

By Paul du Quenoy--Published April 16, 2024, 10:21 p.m. ET

Thousands of people across Oakland, California blocked the flow of capital along the regions largest commercial interstate (I-880) in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Interrupting a dean’s dinner at the University of California, Berkeley.

Blocking the Golden Gate and Brooklyn bridges.

Shutting down Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal.

Anti-Israel protesters think they are making a bold political statement, but they’re really just making everyone angry.

“Do you think I care?” screamed one angry California motorist trapped on the Golden Gate Bridge after getting out of his car to confront the activists, showing just how little he thinks of their malign cause.

Few supporters

According to Pew Research Center, only 22% of Americans believe Hamas’ reasons for fighting Israel are in any way valid.

Just 5% believe the Iran-funded radical terrorist organization’s brutal Oct. 7 assault on Israel was “acceptable.” READ AND SEE MORE AT Anti-Israel protesters are disrupting our way of life and have to stop causing chaos (nypost.com)
