In 2003, then-Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Penn.) cut a backroom deal with high-powered lobbyists to introduce legislation to limit freedom of speech on American college campuses. Proposing to rewrite the federal funding formula under Title IX of the Higher Education Act to include what was called “ideological diversity” as a prerequisite, Santorum’s intent was to cut federal funding for American universities that allowed professors, students and student organizations to criticize Israel in class or in other open campus forums.
A major recipient of campaign money from pro-Israel sources, Santorum said criticizing Israel was “anti-Semitism.” Initial details surrounding the senator’s Orwellian proposal came in an article of April 15,
2003 in a fanatically pro-Israel conservative daily, The New York Sun. The website of the pro-Israel student group, Hillel, also favorably reported the origins of Santorum’s plan Hillel said Santorum invited
Jewish organizations to a private meeting on Capitol Hill to discuss concerns about criticismof Israel on college campuses. Joining Hillel were the Anti-Defamation League, the Zionist Organization of
America and the American Jewish Committee. The New York Sun summarized Santorum’s conclave with the influential lobby groups:
“By the end of the meeting yesterday, Mr. Santorum was talking about introducing legislation that could cut federal funding to colleges where anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiments are prevalent—or . . . where ‘ideological diversity’ is lacking.”
Hillel’sWayne Firestone said: “Everywhere I go, this is the lead topic. This is drawing a lot of interest.”However,the truth is that—outside the Jewish community—few knew of Santorum’s initiative, until
AMERICANFREE PRESS (AFP) reported the story, which concerned academics circulated widely on the Internet, Forced into a defensive mode, the Jewish lobby claimed AFP’s story was a lie—a “rumor . . . sweeping Arab and left-wing media,” as New York’s Jewish Week reported on May 9, 2003

never acknowledge that idealistic youth are the ones manipulated into extremist activities.
never acknowledge our universities are breeding grounds for anti-israel propaganda.never acknowledge any of that, so when anyone tries to midigate its effects, we can play the evil zionist card.
indoctrinate your college kids how ever you like.mormon colleges, bible colleges with graduates serving in the white house and think creationism is valid.totaly not an issue.
but god forbid we stop the pread of hate.
