Free speech on campus — but for who?
Friend of the pod Zaid Jilani has been on KK&F before — now he’s coming on to talk about the campus protests sweeping the US. As law enforcement and administration team up to terrorize students protesting university investments in occupied Palestine and other ties to the genocide, the cause of free speech on campus — object of much conservative hand-wringing — is revealed to be an utter sham for these universities. What matters is maintaining the status quo, even when it means endangering young people exercising First Amendment rights.
How exactly does the crackdown on campus encampments reveal the hypocrisy of right-wing free speech warriors? And what does this phenomenon tell us about the state of higher learning in America? These are all questions we want to address with Zaid. We hope you’ll join us.
