A Jewish student is suing Columbia University over his suspension after a rally in which he used 'fart spray' at a pro-Palestinian protest.
A Columbia University student who served in the Israeli armed forces is suing the Ivy League institution after he was suspended for using 'fart spray' during a pro-Palestinian protest. The student is also accusing the school of selectively enforcing its policies to protect students. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in a New York federal court and states the student, referred to as 'John Doe,' previously served in the Israel Defense Forces .
As a harmless expression of his speech, he sprayed into the air a novelty, non-toxic 'fart' spray named ‘Liquid A--’ and ‘Wet Farts’ which he purchased on Amazon for $26.11,' the lawsuit states. 'Almost instantly, the University rushed to silence Plaintiff, placed him on interim suspension from the University, and published a statement to the University community which accused Plaintiff of a hate crime and placed Plaintiff’s safety in grave jeopardy.
