Former Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law prohibiting almost all state-funded bodies from supporting BDS. Do the protesters know that?
To the editor: The protesters in California calling for university endowments to divest from Israel fail to acknowledge that their central demand may be against the law. In 2016, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 2844. As your article on divestment alludes to, the law forbids awarding state grants or contracts of $100,000 to government and state organizations that support the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, known as BDS.
To the editor: As a third-generation Japanese American whose parents and grandparents were wrongly imprisoned in internment camps during World War II, I have great empathy and support for both the Israelis and Palestinians. However, the students at Cal State L.A. you profiled who cannot protest because they commute to campus and work have an important point of view on the war in Gaza. I went to a junior college for my nursing degree.
