Historical Cowards in Academia

 The universities and colleges who have erased the history of student protests in the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War will regret their decisions going forward to arrest and punish students for having the courage and integrity to challenge and condemn Israel’s slaughter of innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza with US military support 

   Rather than have the vision and leadership that creates resolutions it is truly disturbing observing the leadership of these universities retreat from Academic Freedom to now full suppression of Academic Freedom 

    Insertion of law enforcement into student protests is a retreat to an America that discounted Black Americans, Women and Minorities and Special Needs people who protested their right to secure full sovereignty as American citizens. 

   There will be consequences for this betrayal of students who integrity and value for humanity has been confronted with arrests and threats of suspension and expulsion by school administrators 

  This is not Russia or Israel … This is the United States of America
