No speech should be banned. I detest and abhor vitriolic words and statements hurled at someone to belittle them. However, I spent over 30 years in service to allow people to do that. I hate it but it must be allowed or one day what you say will be banned.

[@danielhova7826]

The government isn’t banning it. It’s a private university where the paying students wrote an editorial in the school newspaper saying, “we don’t want you here. We don’t support a private university that we are paying for endorsing this speech on private property at a private university where the people have a say in what is allowed or not.”

Because the US education system has been bought out by overseas donors, particularly Qatar, and the riots we saw on campus in October were encouraged by the school's leaders and professors. That's putting their students at risk. Byeeeeeeee

Antisemitism is openly yelling for the removal of Jews from the earth which masked Palestinian supporters yell for. Calling for a cease fire is antisemitism if you are ignorant, as Iranian backed Hamas says only their own deaths will stop them in their attempts to kill all Jews and remove them from our earth.
