Generally, we have applauded President Donald Trump, finding him much more honest and proficient than Joe Biden. But Trump is not quite the strong advocate of free speech that he claims to be. He is now threatening colleges and universities that allow pro=Palestinian protests to happen.
Trump doesn’t like these protests, nor do we, because they slam Israel. But as long as the protests abide by law, they should have the same rights as anyone to express their thoughts and opinions. Our Bill of Rights and U.S. Constitution make this clear, and President Trump, of all people, should follow our Constitution. This is not something that can be dictated by Israel.
