In an article by the New York Times, Maggie Astor details proposed GOP crackdowns over anti-Israel speech on college campuses. Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Tim Scott have state that international visas of students who speak against Israel should be revoked. Other candidates say that universities should lose public funding. Nikki Haley joined in with other G.O.P. speakers, “No more federal money for colleges and universities that allow antisemitism to flourish on campus,” Haley wrote on X.
Only one candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, does not call for censorship. Ramaswamy disagrees with the measures other candidates are willing to take, “Colleges are spaces for students to experiment with ideas & sometimes kids join clubs that endorse boneheadedly wrong ideas,” Ramaswamy wrote on X.
This story has impact and conflict. The conflict of this story is shown in a variety of ways. Both the conflict between Israel and Palestine and the conflict between how to interpret the situation are present. Political parties and candidates within political parties disagree on how to handle this issue. The impact is derived from these potential solutions. Calls for censorship impact all Americans.
Ramaswamy? HhhmmMMm. Maybe he gets it.
