The censorship of pro-Palestine speech on campuses is escalating. We must all work to resist this.
Kojo Acheampong, a Harvard student and member of African and African American Resistance Organization, speaks to pro-Palestine demonstrators in the lobby of Cambridge City Hall before their scheduled meeting on January 29, 2024, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Among the latest scholars to be targeted in the media is Texas Tech University assistant professor Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores, who has had several misleading articles written about him in response to his advocacy for Palestinian liberation. For example,a conservative publication, accused Fúnez-Flores of antisemitism while ignoring the ongoing violence of Israel against Palestinians before October 7.
The November shooting of three Palestinian college students in Burlington, Vermont, illustrates how quickly violent rhetoric can lead to physical violence. There are multiple examples of dangerous rhetoric and threats in the replies on X to stories about Fúnez-Flores.
