Israel is criticized for a reason. Persecution, racism, occupation, and apartheid are unjustifiable. So are crimes of war and against humanity.
Compromising academic and speech freedoms puts all other rights at risk. Without them, classrooms are more indoctrination than education. Professors understanding that deserve praise, not rebukes or ostracism.
Freedom in America and other Western societies hang by a thread. Protecting it in classrooms may be step one to having a chance to save it.
Professors on the front lines of right over wrong are heros, not villains. Students lucky enough to have them know best of all.
Imagine if all academics taught the right way. Imagine a better world at peace. Instead of a dream, it could be reality. Imagine how different things could be.
If enough people cared enough and worked for it, it would be. It won't happen any other way.
