2020 NJ Senatorial race: on Civil Rights


Hirsh Singh: People free to be themselves; don't force it upon us

Should a woman's safety or struggle for equality end just because a man decides he is also a woman? Well, neither do I. People should have the freedom and liberty to be themselves, as long as they don't force it upon us or harm others. Question: Why does Senator Booker believe that only a woman can discriminate against a man if she tells him "no"? Can a man somehow not be discriminating against a woman when he forces himself into her private life?

Stuart Meissner: Supports expansion of Title VI addressing anti-Semitism

Meissner said, "I want to thank and congratulate President Trump for signing an Executive Order that expands the reach of Title VI to meet the alarming rise in anti-Semitism and BDS campaigns on campus. My own daughter and the students at Syracuse University have been recently terrorized by such threats, so I am pleased that the U.S. Department of Education will now be empowered to fight back against these instances of prejudice and hate."
