Longer-form draft.
At the March 16 Select Board meeting in Concord, a student presented a petition with approximately 350 signatures requesting immediate reversal of the board's adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism. The comment highlighted concerns over student free speech protections under Tinker v. Des Moines and restrictions on wearing symbols such as keffiyehs at school. The board acknowledged the comment during the public comment period but did not engage with questions, request staff review, or schedule any follow-up discussion. No other agenda items that night produced split votes or recorded reservations. Residents can review the full meeting recording once posted. The next Select Board meeting is scheduled for the following week. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/concord/select-board/2026-03-16/ #MeetingWatch #ConcordMA
