Editorial: Putting Politics Over People Subverts the Democratic Process

The IHRA standard is used by 37 other states, at least 46 countries, and more than 1,200 organizations, municipalities and universities around the world. A-3558 has the support of its three bipartisan sponsors plus 54 co-sponsors, including all six who represent Union County, out of the 80 members of the state Assembly. It is a political and moral no-brainer, so why was the bill suddenly and without explanation pulled from an Assembly vote this past June 23?
