Exactly.

I'm not familiar with the local State law, but knowing my Texas, they've screwed it up somehow. As far as complying with anti-boycott provisions, we have to do it all the time. My company works extensively in the Mid East and we constantly redline contracts and PO's to remove boycott language to be in compliance with Federal Law.

I hope she wins the lawsuit. Considering our current political climate, I'm not optimistic.

I'm not down with this. Why does any American have to sign a pro Israel Oath? She shouldn't have been fired for that.

If it were a private school? That could have been a requirement. For a public entity? No. Compelled speech is unconstitutional. SCOTUS has already ruled on that in a case in which some public school students refused to salute and pledge allegiance to the US Flag.

Do you understand contract law as opposed to employee?
Have you ever been self employed and had to draw up a sub-contract?
Do you understand that the contract was with a government entity? And that government entity was violating her rights with the terms of the contract?

Yes, I was thinking public. Private school is another matter.

If that is true then why is their federal legislation pending specifically spelling out Israel, why do these states find it necessary to do the same. I just don't see this as being legal when using taxpayer funds, Similar legislation in Kansas and Arizona have already lost in court.

It's not an "if it's true" thing. The law is a fact and has existed for over 40 years.


https://www.export.gov/article?id=An...tt-Regulations


The U.S. has an established policy of opposing restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by foreign countries against other countries friendly to the U.S. This policy is implemented through the anti-boycott provisions of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (EAA)—enforced by the U.S. Department of Commerce— and through a 1977 amendment to the Tax Reform Act of 1976—enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Part 760 of the EAR implements the EAA’s anti-boycott provisions. U.S. persons are prohibited from taking certain actions with the intent to comply with, further, or support an unsolicited foreign boycott. Prohibitions include:
  • Refusing to do business with a boycotted or blacklisted entity
  • Discriminating against, or agreeing to discriminate against, any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin
  • Furnishing information about business relationships with a boycotted country or a blacklisted entity In addition, the EAR requires a U.S. person to notify the U.S. Department of Commerce if he or she receives a request to comply with an unsanctioned foreign boycotted country or a blacklisted entity.
In addition, the EAR requires a US person to notify the U.S. Department of Commerce if he or she receives a request to comply with an unsanctioned foreign boycott.
