I agree. The problem is not hate speech. The problem is the actions taken by protesters and others that are in violation of existing Federal or State laws or university codes of conduct that are not enforced. We should not impair free speech. We should simply enforce the law.

It's nice to see bipartisan support for Jews but this congressional bill to expand the definition of antisemitism is bad for the U.S. and bad for Jews. This country was literally founded on the idea that there should be no government reprisals for speech, including hate speech.

So @Harvard permits on campus rallies calling for Intifada, or in other words, a call to action to kill Israeli civilians and Jews with suicide bombings, knife attacks and shootings. Would the protest be permitted if they called for lynchings of black people?

I don’t get the point of this complaint. Oxman is getting the same trial in the court of opinion that Rufo and the Free Beacon gave Gay, and presumably she’ll get the same due process from MIT that Gay received from Harvard. Probably better, actually. So what’s the problem?
