As Fury Erupts Over Campus Antisemitism, Conservatives Seize the Moment
The rising antisemitic speech within American higher education institutions has led to controversies, with conservatives criticizing the left-wing tilt of these schools. Campus protests against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza have drawn attention to the issue, with M. Elizabeth Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania, resigning due to the fallouts. The three university presidents, including Magill, were criticized for their responses to the antisemitic behavior and were accused of hypocritically allowing censorship on their campuses. Despite apologies from the presidents, the controversies have led to calls for reform in higher education and have potentially fueled Republican efforts to defund and restrict public universities.
