DOJ Civil Rights Lawyers Resign Rather Than Fight Antisemitism

Civil rights has become a farce.

They’re making a point. So is the media. Just not the one they think they’re making.

The new head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division is dramatically reshaping the office to propel President Donald Trump’s social agenda, prompting the departure of about half of the division’s lawyers in recent weeks, according to people familiar with the situation and public statements from top officials.

Since being sworn in this month, civil rights director Harmeet K. Dhillon has redirected her staff to focus on combating antisemitism, the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports and what Trump and his allies have described as anti-Christian bias and the Democrats’ “woke ideology.”

It’s revealing how the DOJ’s civil rights lawyers would rather resign than fight antisemitism and how the top two ex-liberal papers in the country now dismissively class antisemitism together with other things they believe that conservatives made up. Hard to see how they could have done a better job of demonstrating what a farce civil rights has become.
