I know that private citizens and institutions have the right to protection from publically funded entities like the police. Do Columbia University's rights supercede those students right to free speech. Though this seems step back from the NYPD evict the Occupy Wall Street protestors from that public park, it's still an instance of entities with power money and power suppressing the rights of those without.
If the Columbia University students aren't destroying property and there aren't agent provocateurs pretending to be students destroying Columbia University property, why would Columbia University feel compelled to silence the students. This becomes especially problematic when you consider the fact that the students might represent the majority opinion that opposes Israeli genocide. When Jewish people, including Orthodox Jews oppose Israeli genocide, it feels as if more communication, not less is required. It feels as if no authorities want to hear or enact the will of the people. In America, it feels like leadership is pushing for the greatest amount of censorship they can get away with. It feels like America's leaders seek to walk a fine line where Americans are okay with censorship because it doesn't undermine their life's or beliefs. This may seem acceptable to Americans until their beliefs and lives are impacted which has historically been the end result of such practices.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
