We must act to end disgusting hate crimes. Criminalize cyber bullying and online hate speech:  arrest anyone threatening harm online like any assault charge. Provide better police protection for synagogues. Confront anti-Semitism and Holocaust deniers.  The Nazis murdered half of my family during the reign of terror in Germany.  My family came here to escape anti-Semitism.  Now we see a resurgence.  

When it comes to racism, an attack on one is an attack on all: African American, Hispanic, Jew, and Asian descent.

Standing up to hate and racism means speaking out and not letting cowards get away with dangerous words in public and online.  And especially in schools.  I am a teacher.  My job is to teach when in the classroom... not shoot my personal political views.  Online, Twitter, Facebook:  that is where we practice free speech.  When people are threatened online, physical threat and fearful words should be treated as assault.  Whether threats are made in person or on Facebook (et al), the foul person placing someone in fear should be prosecuted as having committed assault.  I promoted legislation with real teethe - laws that protect everyone - Jewish, African American, Hispanic, Asian American, etc. - from fear online threat and fear.
