The "Palestine Exception" rules
*From Campus to the Courts, the "Palestine Exception"
Rules University Crackdowns.*
I looked at the article
for which Dahlia Saba and Vignesh Ramachandran were accused and
threatened with punishment. It is democratic participation, pure and
simple, and trying to punish people for that is vicious opposition to
democracy. For a university administration even to consider such
intimidation shows a lack of respect for democracy and academic
freedom.
I expect this repression to get far worse when America's highest
officials are overt enemies of democracy, acting on administrators who
have no sense of loyalty to freedom of speech. Others expect it too.
