Most are still allowing it.

Supporting, affiliating and getting support from known terrorist organizations while threatening people's lives might have something to do with it.

Mass upheaval tends to get blamed on the incumbent.

This does not help the Democrats at all, thus they have an interest in shutting it all down quickly.

Calls for death and genocide are not considered "free expression".


I saw only one report of this. While I am sure there was more than one instance of that, I dont think it is true at each of these institutions.

To those saying this is to help Biden, I think that's a hard pill to swallow. It would require a coordinated effort across academia among admins that runs counter to the attitudes of most of their faculty.

Because pro-Palestinian anti-semitism is a bad look for liberals in an election year.

If they were protesting Trump - the rallies would be encouraged.

I'm being lazy and not reading beyond the OP but the answer is, it's a Presidential election year.

Extremely antisemitic protests around universities, from Democrat voters.... is a bad look for the upcoming election. They are trying to sweep the protests under the rug as soon as they pop up. They just didn't expect dumbass professors to also be involved. Lol

Irrational as these protests may be, universities have long been tolerant of free expression.




Lol not in the past decade or two. But as far as why now because their donors are pulling out because these campuses are turning into Germany in the 30s

That's why DeSantis and Abbott are cracking down the hardest?

Agreed.

The knee jerk reaction here about helping Biden does not align with what is happening and where.

Because Joey is going to take credit for it at the DNC convention. He will say his quick actions prevented riots from even taking root whereas POTUS Trump made us endure them as well as the China Virus when he was in charge.

The Lying Media (MSM) will completely support Joey.
