Rep. Seth Moulton joined his fellow Democrats in calling for university leaders to shut down anti-Israel campus protests that have spread across nation.
Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., called for university leaders to shut down anti-Israel protests on college campuses, saying they had gone too far and threatened Jewish students' safety. The Democrat told NBC10 Boston that school leaders had a 'responsibility' to shut down the protests for disrupting classes and making many Jewish students feel unsafe on campus. 'We live in a country that values freedom of speech,' Moulton told the local outlet.
Moulton argued there needed to be a balance between protecting protesters' First Amendment rights and protecting the safety of Jewish students. He said protesters 'threatening other students' are a problem, but added that universities 'have a right to take action.' Moulton joins other Democrats who've begun pressuring universities to squash the disruptive protests.
