Important perspective from @davidakaye on USC's decision to cancel the speech by Asna Tabassum, the school's chosen valedictorian. The decision was a travesty, chilling to academic free speech and toadying to narrow-minded interest groups. slate.com/human-interest… via @Slate
@djrothkopf @davidakaye @Slate No. @davidakaye is wrong - selecting a student valedictorian who supports elimination of Israel or any nation is fundamentally immoral. Would he/you be silent if she had called for erasing Ukraine? ICYMI, "free speech" is not a free pass for hate. x.com/GeraldNGOM/sta…
