This is madness and dangerous. Schools have to begin expelling these people.

Campus Reform reports:

MIT anti-Israel activists spread map of Jewish orgs they want to ‘dismantle,’ provoking condemnation from MIT

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) President Sally Kornbluth condemned the spread of materials on campus that targeted Jewish organizations and called to “dismantle” them.

At an Aug. 28 orientation event for MIT students, several anti-Israel activists handed out flyers with a link to the Mapping Project, which provides an interactive map locating organizations that supposedly support “the colonization of Palestine.”

The map includes the locations of several Jewish organizations, including the Synagogue Council of Massachusetts, the Hillel Council of New England, and the Jewish National Fund’s New England Regional Office.

The Mapping Project states that its “goal in pursuing this collective mapping was to reveal the local entities and networks that enact devastation, so we can dismantle them. Every entity has an address, every network can be disrupted.”

The map also includes local police departments, politicians’ homes, and U.S. military bases.

In response to the flyers being handed out, Kornbluth sent an email stating: “While I have repeatedly defended freedom of expression, I must tell you that I found some of the websites cited on the flyers deeply concerning.” Kornbluth specifically called out the Mapping Project for anti-Semitism.

wellll
map them back

Kornbluth is still there? At least she finds, “some of the websites cited on the flyers deeply concerning.” Strong language!

How about banning those organizations from campus, expelling the students and firing any faculty and staff involved, Sally?

    That would violate their freedom of speech.

      1. Only proven American citizens may enjoy the right of freedom of speech. It does not apply to Illegal aliens nor to those actively encouraging violent crime and terrorism.

      2. Once they are sacked, suspended and physically removed from the campus, they will have more time to go somewhere else to exercise their freedom speech.

        You are right about two you are dead wrong about one.

        You are right it would not be a violation of their freedom of speech to say “You entered into an agreement with this university not to launch a campaign of targeted harassment on ethnic groups you hate. By trying to violate that and starting to put a plan into motion you have ended your relationship with the University and are no longer welcome to take classes here or participate in the University” (every university is required to have those kinds of rules).

        However they do have right to freedom of speech as long as they are in the country legally (if they aren’t they don’t even have a right not to be deported).

        Your freedom of speech however does not entitle you to enter an institution and disobey the rules.

        MIT to it’s credit agrees this is against the rules and condemned the action. Hopefully it will be followed by some expulsions to discourage this in the future.

      Property destruction, impeding others
      of movement, assault are all good reasons for jail time and/or expulsion from college and America.

      No it wouldn’t. Every student enters an agreement about their conduct with the university.

      This includes that there is to be no racial bullying (or bullying of any kind).

      Targeted harassment of the Jews without doubt goes against that. We know with any other group being targeted for harassment in the same way expulsion would have happened immediately.
