Janet Levy: Georgetown Law School students petitioned against having a Jewish economist speak at their commencement – 42% of the graduating class (282/670). The speaker was replaced by a pro-Palestinian law professor who, soon after the October 7th Massacre, criticized the ADL and the Brandeis Center for Human Rights for their calls to “investigate, disband, or penalize pro-Palestinian student groups for exercising their free speech rights.”
Obviously violent protests and the intimidation of Jewish students and professors on campus does not fall under the umbrella of First Amendment protections for expressing an opinion, however odious.
This announcement follows on the heels of an event at Berkeley Law School in which students cheered a Palestinian suicide bomber who was invited to speak and a commencement speaker at the University of Michigan who praised pro-Palestinian protesters.
