The Spin
Right narrative
The hypocrisy of these elite, left-leaning college presidents is appalling. When it comes to defending the free speech of conservative professors and guest speakers, they’re nowhere to be found. But when it’s time to do something to clean up the blatant antisemitism on their campuses, that’s when they play the free-speech card. They should be removed from their jobs if they’re not going to make their campuses safer.
Left narrative
The reason these elite, left-leaning college presidents were called to testify before a Republican-led committee is that they’re easy fodder for the GOP to throw into their culture war. These schools are doing what they can to prevent threats and violence. Republicans certainly know hypocrisy well when you consider their response to the alleged denial of free speech rights to conservatives on campuses is to demand free-speech rights be stripped from students.
