The Spin
Progressive narrative
Brown University must support a Gaza cease-fire, grant amnesty to student protestors, and divest from companies linked to Israel's military. As hundreds of its alums and faculty have said, the university's choices will reflect on its leadership. The student groups have held up a mirror to the university and its authorities. It's time for them to look deeply at what they see.
Conservative narrative
Brown University's administration has sadly caved to protestors who are espousing antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-US points of view. Rather than restoring campus safety and operations with the help of law enforcement, Brown has succumbed to a woke wob mentality that ultimately makes the student body feel unsafe. This outcome is a stain on this Ivy League institution.
