Today we live in a country where powerful government officials led by the president want to censor the books in our libraries and classrooms, purge the government of alternate views, annex territories and promote eugenics. I would urge the commission and the organizations represented here to change course and truly help fight antisemitism and other forms of hatred, and not to wittingly or unwittingly reinforce the rising intolerance that is taking over our country. The authoritarian alleged ally today will, as history shows, become the enemy of Jews and all marginalized groups tomorrow. I would like us to work together to protect our schools, our students and our educators.
