Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is responding to the pro-Hamas insanity we’re seeing on college campuses by shutting down the student groups that are doing it.
To be clear, this is not cancel culture. No one would tolerate the KKK holding demonstrations on American college campuses, and this is no different.
FOX News reports:
DeSantis admin directs Florida universities to terminate student chapters that support ‘Hamas terrorism’Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in coordination with the chancellor of the state’s university system, has moved to crack down on student groups in the state they say have expressed support for “Hamas terrorism,” which possibly involves terminating the student chapters and suspending school administrators.”During a holy Jewish holiday, the recognized terrorist organization, Hamas, launched an unprovoked attack on Israel – among those killed were babies, women, and elderly,” Ray Rodrigues, chancellor of the State University System of Florida, wrote in a letter to the state’s universities exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital.”To date, approximately 1,400 Israelis have been killed, including 31 American citizens. Governor DeSantis, our State University System and the Florida College System have condemned these attacks.”The letter states that a student group present in at least two universities in the Florida system, known as National Students for Justice in Palestine (National SJP), published a “toolkit” that refers to the Hamas operation as “the resistance” and says that “Palestinian students in exile are PART of this movement, not in solidarity with this movement.”The letter explains that it is a “felony under Florida law to knowingly provide material support … to a designated foreign terrorist organization.”These chapters exist under the headship of the National Students for Justice in Palestine, who distributed a toolkit identifying themselves as part of the Operation AlAqsa Flood,” Rodrigues writes.
This is absolutely the right thing to do.

Other governors should follow the example set by DeSantis here. I’ll leave you with this outstanding observation.
