CUNY professors union slams university brass for calling law student Fatima Mohammed's grad address 'hate speech' | |
2023-06-15 | |
![]() ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... commencement address. The Professional Staff Congress (PSC) defended graduate Fatima Mohammed
The PSC — which represents the faculty at the CUNY Law School — said the board’s "mischaracterization" could have a "chilling effect" on campus academic freedom. During her May 12 speech, Mohammed attacked the State of Israel and Zionists for the indiscriminate killings of innocent Paleostinians and called the NYPD and the military "fascist ![]() ." The law school grad accused Israel of "indiscriminate" murder, encouraging "lynch mobs" and lauded resistance to "Zionism around the world." "Israel continues to indiscriminately rain bullets and bombs on worshipers, murdering the old, the young, attacking even funerals and graveyards... our silence is no longer acceptable," she said. | |

#8 Hate speech? Nah, a twisted rant that should shame and embarrass anyone who claims to be an educator. |

#4 I don't see a lot of difference. Terrorist amongst the troops: US Army private, 22, pleads guilty to trying to help ISIS kill soldiers in the Middle East and blow up NYC's 9/11 memorial... but was actually talking to an FBI agent |

#3 Apparently, there's nothing wrong with "hate," as long as the "correct" target for it is selected. |
