Sounds good. Even speaking up to correct mis and dis- information is political, but still it needs to be done.

Just to check, is your post a response to the "citizen journalist" statement? So your post is to clarify a misconception from "citizen journalist"?

@dutchess1970.bsky.social I don't really follow what you wrote. According to NY Governor Hochul, students should have free speech, freedom to protest. But harassing or attacking Jewish students is beyond free speech and should not be allowed.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul said "“The First Amendment protects the right to protest but students also have a right to learn in an environment free from harassment or violence. At Columbia ..., threatening Jewish students with violence or glorifying the terror of October 7 is antisemitism.”

"Lederer shared cell video that he recorded Saturday night, showing a protester on campus ran off with his Israeli flag and then lit on fire. He said after the incident, other protesters attacked him. “They were pushing and shoving me,” said Lederer. “They threw rocks at my face."

What about when Jewish students are harassed or even attacked on campus? Doesn't the administration have a responsibility to condemn the harassment and violence? See my next comment, a quote from Jonathan Lederer, a sophomore at Columbia University.
