Administration Censorship Demands at Columbia
The attacks on free speech and academic freedom at Columbia are not confined to deporting (or expelling) students who protest Israel. That’s a small part of it.
The administration is also demanding Columbia adopt the radically expanded definition of “anti-Semitism” that the EU has — which outlaws common criticisms of Israel (see below) — and then put their Middle East Department under receivership to control what professors can teach about Israel.
Just constant demands of Americans to sacrifice the country’s core values and civil liberties for this one sacred foreign country.
Extra ironic that it’s being cheered by a movement that scorned limits on academic freedom and campus speech to protect every other minority group.
