Human Rights Act brought by a Muslim woman of Palestinian origin who was terminated from her position as assistant director of academic and faculty affairs at Georgetown University after her old anti-Zionist social media posts were discovered, finding that she failed to plausibly allege that her firing was based on her protected characteristics rather than the offensive content of her posts.
