A new lawsuit in Kentucky is exposing how US institutions are weaponizing the IHRA definition to silence pro-Palestinian voices.
Tenured law professor Ramsi Woodcock was banned from teaching and barred from the University of Kentucky’s law school after describing Israel as a colonial project and calling for global accountability for its crimes.
Woodcock says the university violated his First Amendment rights, using anti-discrimination rules to punish political speech about Israel rules that do not apply to criticism of any other state. His case is the first direct legal challenge to the constitutionality of applying IHRA and Title VI to suppress debate on Palestine.
Since the investigation began, Woodcock has been cut off from students, faculty meetings, and even entering the law school, while external pressure and political hysteria, echoed by Kentucky lawmakers, push for harsher action.
CAIR lawyers representing him say his speech is protected and that the university caved to a campaign designed to criminalize pro-Palestinian advocacy.
