[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYT article about how Columbia held a meeting with journalism students and faculty this week and warned them not to publish anything on Gaza, Ukraine, protests, or Khalil's arrest if they were not US citizens. And to scrub their social media.

[i]Students who were not U.S. citizens should avoid publishing work on Gaza, Ukraine and protests related to their former classmate’s arrest, urged Stuart Karle, a First Amendment lawyer and adjunct professor. With about two months to go before graduation, their academic accomplishments — or even their freedom — could be at risk if they attracted the ire of the Trump administration.

“If you have a social media page, make sure it is not filled with commentary on the Middle East,” he told the gathering in Pulitzer Hall. When a Palestinian student objected, the journalism school’s dean, Jelani Cobb, was more direct about the school’s inability to defend international students from federal prosecution.

“Nobody can protect you,” Mr. Cobb said. “These are dangerous times.”[/i]

What is going on in this country? Listen up when people say that this arrest is just a first step. If the administration can do this, they can do this for any cause or any viewpoint that they disagree with.

Your problem is that nobody believes these universities, professors, and students actually support free speech or the first amendment. There is simply too much history of them fighting for speech suppression. It’s quite rich for them to be claiming they now love the first amendment. [/quote]

That guy is a green card holder. [b]Under deportation law he is deemed a security threat a[/b]nd will be deported. [/quote]
