“Critical Social Justice degrades the quality of life on higher education campuses. Too often, this toxic DEI results in regressive policies and practices under the guise of progressivism; it promotes things like: unproven constructs of race, antisemitism, Jew hatred, sexism, racism, discrimination, and resegregation.”

Lawsuit Filed Against Foothill-De Anza Community College District
The Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism initially provided legal support to me in my case against De Anza College; however, in March 2025, I was notified by Executive Director Monica Harris that FAIR was abandoning my case just as it moved into the appeals stage.
An article in Newsweek Magazine highlights the lawsuit filed on my behalf and other issues at hand. Thank you for your donations, letters of support, and for signing petitions on my behalf to the Foothill-De Anza Board of Trustees.
