  • Jena 6 and the Role of Federal Intervention in Hate Crimes and Race-Related Violence in Public Schools
    JENA 6 AND THE ROLE OF FEDERAL INTERVENTION IN HATE CRIMES AND RACE-RELATED VIOLENCE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS STATEMENT OF ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE OCTOBER 16, 2007 The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is pleased to provide this statement as the House Judiciary Committee conducts hearings on “Jena 6 and the Role of Federal Intervention in Hate Crimes and Race-Related Violence in Public Schools.” ADL and, especially, its New Orleans Regional Office, have closely followed the situation at Jena High School and in the Jena community over the past several months. The League is deeply concerned about the racial tensions in the community and allegations of unfair treatment between black and white students, as well as the allegations of racial disparity in subsequent criminal charges filed against six black students. We share the Committee’s view that the escalating series of intimidating and violent events in Jena is worth examining to determine what guidance can be provided for other communities. The inadequate response to the intimidating tactics and escalating violence in Jena provides lessons for school administrators and community leaders on the need to confront racial and ethnic tensions directly and constructively – and to defuse them before they can lead to confrontations and reprisals. In addition to our concerns for the students directly involved, our thoughts are also on the future well-being of all students at Jena and all members of the community. We have offered to meet with school leaders to discuss ways in which the League might be able to bring our extensive education and community resources and programming to the Jena schools in an effort to help heal tensions and constructively bring the community together.

AT WORK IN THE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS: ACADEMIC FREEDOM, THE FIRST AMENDMENT, AND JEFFRIES v. HARLESTON STEPHEN A. NEWMAN* INTRODUCTION Anyone attempting to justify action against a professor based upon his or her speech must overcome the salutary barriers that principles of free speech and academic freedom erect to protect speech in the university. The case of Jeffries v. Harleston' presents a valuable opportunity to examine the scope and limits of these principles in the context of racist and anti-Semitic speech by a faculty member serving as a department chairman. Although the Jeffries litigation was extensive, involving a jury trial, two federal appellate court opinions, and two appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, the judicial resolution of the case left important questions unanswered. The judges paid little attention to the issue of academic freedom, despite its importance to the nation's academic community. The vital question of what harms colleges and universities may suffer from faculty speech, and which of those harms they may properly sanction, was obscured by a jury finding that there was potential, but not actual, harm from Jeffries' speech.2 As is usual with jury verdicts, the jury's findings were stated in conclusory fashion, with the reasons for its findings unexplained.
