A pair of student leaders at the University of Michigan have been given their walking papers on Tuesday after they tried to force the school to freeze all funding with Israel. The anti-Semitism in the West has risen to the surface like a gas bubble in a bathtub but something was finally done about it in this case.
President Alifa Chowdhury and Vice President Elias Atkinson were impeached following a marathon hearing that lasted 20 hours and spanned seven days.
The Jew-hating duo arose to power last spring from their “Shut It Down” platform and made good on their promise to freeze $1.3 million in student funding until Michigan cut ties with companies linked to Israel.
Their ploy to hurt Israel economically with campus protests left campus groups scrambling to make it to their events: blue- and pink-haired gender confused students couldn't make it to their Underwater Lesbian Mermaid Mythology class; Taylor Swift Studies majors were late arriving for their intense lessons; and Practical Marx in Practice studies were canceled.
By October, the university was done with these idiots. Administrators adopted a hands-off approach to political issues outside campus operations, and the student government restored funding.
However, at this point the damage was done. Even students who backed Chowdhury and Atkinson’s stance thought they had gone too far.
“They look like extremists,” Tiya Berry, an Arab American assembly member who couldn’t stomach their methods, told former newspaper The New York Times.
Margaret Peterman, a sophomore member of the student assembly who led the impeachment motion, said that Chowdhury encouraged verbal attacks and threatening language, as she recalled an incident where an assembly member was spat on by a protester.
“There is a line between free speech and hate speech, between engaging in your rights as a student and as an American to disagree as vehemently as you might want to, and crossing that line into threatening someone,” Peterman said. It's also a clear line whereby one's right to free speech is assaulted by protesters who refuse to allow it to take place.
The University of Michigan has been a hotbed for anti-Semitism following the massacre by Hamas and other terrorist groups along with Palestinian civilians against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 where these terrorists invaded Israel, killed, tortured, and raped over 1,200 men, women and children, almost all civilians, and then blamed it on the Jewish State for existing.
In June, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights launched an investigation that revealed the school’s failure to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, identifying 75 harassment complaints against Jewish students that the university largely ignored.

Maybe it's time for the incoming government to reconsider how they spend taxpayer money.
No longer should any school, at any level, tolerate chants about "Nazi liberation" or anti-Semitic behavior, like the case of a 19-year-old student who was thrown to the ground, spat upon and kicked while he was down.
It's time for decent Americans to kick back and stop this jackboot behavior--we're supposed to be better than that.
