(Shawnee Mission Post) The Kansas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on the city of Roeland Park to reject a definition of antisemitism that has been adopted by other local governments in recent months.
The Roeland Park City Council is set to consider a resolution on Monday adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism.
Five other Johnson County cities, including Leawood and Prairie Village — as well as Johnson County itself — have already adopted the same definition of antisemitism, a move pushed by the local Jewish Community Relations Bureau / American Jewish Committee.
