California bill may limit campus free speech
As students head back to campus, a California Senate bill is stirring controversy.
Critics argue that it threatens free speech by targeting campus protests, particularly those against Israel’s war on Palestine.
The bill is currently moving through the legislature.
The American Civil Liberties Union warns that this legislation could chill free expression across public universities.
Introduced by Democratic Sen. Steve Glazer, the bill mandates stricter rules against harassment and discrimination.
Supporters, including pro-Israel groups, claim it ensures safety and free speech for all students.
Despite amendments addressing some criticisms, Glazer’s stance on the issue remains contentious.
He insists that the bill is not aimed at curbing pro-Palestinian voices, though his critics disagree.
