Pro-Palestinian Campus Free Speech Under Attack—Again?
Northwestern University is back under federal investigation—this time by the Trump administration—over alleged antisemitism, despite President Schill already testifying on this issue last May under the Biden administration.

“If you’re into the criticism of the state of Iran you’re not an islamophobe. If you’re critiquing and criticizing the state of Israel and its war crimes you’re not an antisemite. The attempt to declare this legitimate criticism of a state engaging in genocide as antisemitism is both false, dangerous, and ridiculous.”
