HBCU Cancels United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

Xavier University of Louisiana, an HBCU in New Orleans cancelled United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s address amid student protests related to the Gaza conflict. The decision to cancel Thomas-Greenfield’s commencement speech was influenced by pressure from students and the community. Concerns were raised about her voting record at the United Nations, particularly regarding a ceasefire in Gaza. Students pointed out that she had repeatedly voted against a ceasefire, which contributed to the decimation of universities in Gaza and the loss of thousands and thousands of lives. The petition against her as the commencement speaker emphasized the impact on Palestinians in Gaza, drawing parallels with the experiences of African Americans during the segregation era in the United States and the holocaust in Germany. The Nearly 1,800 people signed a petition demanding a new commencement speaker who better aligned with the university’s mission statement and would not politicize the ceremony. The students wanted someone who represented their values and would contribute to an uninterrupted graduation celebration. The University of Vermont (UVM) had previously canceled Thomas-Greenfield’s address amid pro-Palestinian protests on campus. These protests reflect broader discontent with the handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the humanitarian crisis affecting Palestinians in Gaza. It’s important to recognize that universities are navigating complex issues related to free speech, political stances, and student voices and furthermore don’t want to upset their benefactors.

Trump Threatens Insurrection Act of 1807

If Donald Trump is Re-elected he could enact The Insurrection Act of 1807  which empowers the President to deploy active-duty military personnel within the United States to suppress insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful obstruction of the law, or any situation where normal enforcement of laws is hindered. However, its use on American soil is a highly sensitive and contentious matter due to concerns about the militarization of civil issues and potential infringement on civil liberties. The Act was most notably invoked during the Civil Rights era by President Eisenhower to enforce desegregation orders in the South and during other moments of civil unrest, such as the Los Angeles riots in 1992. Former President Trump’s reference to the Insurrection Act has elicited mixed reactions from various quarters. Critics argue that its use could undermine democratic norms and potentially exacerbate tensions, while supporters argue it might be necessary to restore law and order in certain situations.     #DonaldTrump #InsurrectionAct #USPolitics #Constitution #CivilRights #LawAndOrder #Militarization #CivilLiberties #DomesticViolence #LegalAnalysis #PoliticalDebate
