MYSTERIOUS: Correcting an obnoxious mischaracterization - You Need To See This

In the middle of an article that amounts to, among other things, a disgraceful apologia for the explosion in campus antisemitism, including violence, since October 7 (recharacterized as involving only commendable "Palestine solidarity") Professor Jonathan Feingold of BU Law School and Isaac Kamola of Trinity College write:

In this MAGA mythology, student anti-discrimination trainings, LGBTQ+ resource centers, fellowships supporting Black students, and diversity-focused initiatives are indistinguishable from--or more concerning than--the actual Nazis who chanted "Jews will not replace us" on the University of Virginia's campus in 2017.17

17 For one example of the assertion that contemporary diversity efforts are "perhaps more insidious" than white nationalist projects and antisemitic conspiracy theories, see David Bernstein, Three Bad Ideas About Race in America, 4 Am. J.L. & Liberty 121, 123 & n.9 (2024).

Here is what I actually wrote in the cited article.
