@fenix6297 You not only identified the allegedly offensive statements as "pro-Hamas," you identified the "grads" as "pro-Hamas," in the adjective position directly before the noun. My question was therefore well-founded, whether you particularly like it or not. You could have responded by saying, "I know no such thing. I'm simply stating what the issue is to those Wall Street firms." In any case, maybe those firms have no basis at all to think those grads ARE pro-Hamas, and you could have said you weren't endorsing (what you assumed to be) their view. It's not that tough. I'm not afraid to ask direct questions. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings or make you feel unsafe.
I have no idea what "90%" of people "know" about freedom of speech. That has got to be the biggest assumption of the night. Looks like I didn't make it.
Of course you didn't address my other, more important points. It was wonderful to hear Glenn Greenwald tonight. One forgets what an intelligent lawyer and journalist sounds like. All sparring aside, his show was excellent. There are far too many people pushing for a wider war, and he named names and provided direct quotes. Maybe when you settle down, get some sleep, etc., you might deign to watch it.
You could also, like, read the allegedly offensive statement and see what it says. I don't agree with it, but I see no support for terror or war crimes in the statement. (The personal views of some of the people who signed it might be worse, however.) Did you get around to that? Reading it, I mean?
I know, it's late.

@RyanRamboer-sv3pm Well that's funny. I took my first Shakespeare class of my life, at night, grad level, at a "no-name" state school well known for high actual diversity and leftist activism. We studied Richard II, Henry IV, parts I and 2, and Henry V, plus the history of the Plantagenet kings of England, and Holinshed's Chronicles, which Shakespeare used as source material for his histories, among other things. Some brilliant commentary as well. No. I'm not kidding. It was phenom, one of the best classes I have ever had.

@RyanRamboer-sv3pm How do you know? That is basically saying that my Shakespeare class was a gross anomaly. Do you check out syllabi and reading lists, at other schools, to get the flavor of what's going on? When I was in college, back in the age of electric typewriters with memory cards (undergrads rarely had computers of their own, though grad students did, and one of my friends built his own computer a few years later), we knew what was going on. We read syllabi and browsed bookstores before taking a class. When a prof graded unfairly (which usually meant you had to follow a conservative Republican line, or get a C or D), the whole campus knew. And very few conservatives ever did that. They were generally honorable. Leftists accepted that they would have to read what was assigned on the syllabus, then go out on their own to read the leftist view independently. They didn't expect to have profs who agreed with them.
My point is that we got the lay of the land by doing the work to discover it ourselves. Now, with everything at people's fingertips, they don't bother to point, or click. If you want me to believe that "literally all the big schools" are virtue signaling instead of doing any rigorous scholarship, you need to produce some evidence. I simply don't believe education has become degraded to that extent, and at every major school. (Or, am I an optimist? Again? LOL)

@RyanRamboer-sv3pm Coming back to this particular clip of this particular teacher, if she doesn't retaliate against students who reject her views when she grades them, and if she doesn't call on them less, or treat them differently in any way, obvious or subtle, on account of their political positions, then she does have a First Amendment right to say what she said. It's that simple. And obviously, the student does as well. Her demeanor was poor, but even I know that's nothing new. Most people who think this through will disagree with her. Again, that is no big deal. Seriously, so what? Two things: if students feel too intimidated to argue the point, if they feel her presentation, in substance or style, is chilling their free speech, then that is a problem. If everyone has free speech, then there is no problem, but if the students believe they do not, then there is. I think that's relatively easy to solve. Second, I'd like to know how the Zoom classroom was breached. Students don't have a right to great teachers, much less to have teachers agree with them on controversial issues, but they do have a right to privacy on Zoom. A class via Zoom is supposed to be a strictly controlled-access platform, live or recorded. Did the teacher do anything to cause the breach, or was she negligent in preventing it? If she did, I think that's a bigger deal.

@RyanRamboer-sv3pm That she would grade unfairly, too, is of course possible, but it's a lot like jury service. People have an opinion about a case, but when they take an oath, see the entire trial, and begin deliberations, they usually put aside their feelings and take their duty seriously. So, when she sits down to grade, she probably does something similar.
Of course, she might also think she's on a mission to stop white male supremacist fascism. Then all bets are off. LOL

@mruncletheredge Well, here is why it did to me: The alleged perpetrator, his poor acting skills, his gesturing toward a weapon but no sign he has one, the voice over at that point saying to wait for police, the way he was supposedly apprehended bare-handed, the stick used to beat him, the fact that so many blows hit his shoe soles and other places where they won't hurt, and then the comment at they end that they would let him go. Maybe more stuff -- this was from memory.
I guess we don't need deep fakes. World wrestling stuff, or stuff that is even more lame, is plenty.
