From ‘SDSU Student Protest Against President Hirshman’ Facebook page wrt flyers:
“We are calling on San Diego State University students and supporters to join us in protesting President Elliot Hirshman for his pathetic email to the SDSU community that was a response to flyers and ads by the David Horowitz Freedom Project that specifically named SDSU students as being terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.
In the email, President Hirshman essentially stated that students who are activists must accept that their actions have consequences and that people have a right to free spech, which we completely agree with. However, what President Hirshman fails to understand that LIBEL and DEFAMATION are not protected forms of free speech.
Furthermore, President Hirshman waited nearly a full two weeks until he decided to respond to the incident. This clearly shows that he did not take this seriously at all from the beginning. If a students name, reputation, and safety, isn’t to be taken seriously by our President, then we ask, what is?
President Hirshman failed to use the word ‘condemn’ once in his entire email. A simple word that carries so much weight and importance was omitted by him, intentionally keep in mind. When an outside organization publicly and explicitly attacks YOUR students, we expect our president to protect us and ensure that he cares. The response we got was insulting and underwhelming.
In addition, the flyers very specifically mentioned the Muslim Student Association and Students for Justice in Palestine as being associated with terrorism and terrorists. This is blatantly Islamophobic and, once again, President Hirshman failed to even mention this aspect of the flyers in his email.
As tuition paying students of this university, WE have the right to expect better from our President and tomorrow will demand it of him.
We hope you will join us.
If this is so, why don't they address this in the judicial system?
Muslim Student Association is listed in the Explanatory Memorandum entered into evidence at the Holy Land Foundation trial. They are as up to their necks in it as the Muslim Brotherhood.
Truth was once an absolute defense.
The students who cornered the college president should be immediately expelled, in addition to facing prosecution.
“As tuition paying students of this university...”
Exactly how many are paying their way?
Colleges have become communities if government-handout parasites. (my apologies to those in REAL curriculums, in the math, engineering, and hard science departments)
