Federal Judge to Texas: No, You Can't Bar Government Contractors From Boycotting Israel

CAIR: A federal judge issued an injunction last week preventing the state from enforcing its law barring government contractors from boycotting Israel. U.S. Dis­trict Judge Robert Pitman issued the ruling on April 25 in a lawsuit brought by the Council on American-Islamic Relations on behalf of Bahai Amawi, a speech pathologist working for Pflugerville ISD on a contract basis, when she refused to sign an addendum to her contract to implement the 2017 measure, which targets the international "boycott, divestment and sanctions" (BDS) movement aimed at pressuring the Israeli ­government.
