Thank you for keeping the liberty of free speech seperate from the acts of civil disobedience. Each has it's place and it's consequences. There is both a time to speak up and a time to listen, a time to stand up and a time to walk away. Allowing for disagreeable (non-violent) views to be expressed in a civil society and especially in an academic forum is critical if we are to understand each other and the complex issues we face. Grace and Peace to you.

Thoughtful post. One of the most disappointing aspects of this debacle on campus is the lack of "more speech" to combat the hate speech. A full-throated rebuttal of these hateful, ignorant brats on campus (students and professors, as well as outside agitators) would assure the rest of the community that there is capable leadership.

How about university administrations simply saying antisemitism on campus is unacceptable, even under the convenient guise of anti-Zionism, and they stand with Jewish students under siege? Their failure to do so, while promulgating land acknowledgments and pronouns, is why you get reasonable people cheering on Governor Abbott's overreach.
