Smears from the press and pro-Israel influencers are a dangerous distraction from real threats to our safety.

I remember how Muslim students were terrorized and ran off campus in 2001. There was no meaningful way to report on it back then, so one article in the student newspaper was all anyone knew about it.

Please upvote this. There should be no place in academia for university staff and administrators to collaborate with jackboot thugs in order to enable violence against students.

All very true. Our college kids have been an incredible guiding light on morality in our nation.

It's sad they have so often been met with fascist violence. My blood is still boiling over the events and Columbia and UT Austin this week.
