Undermining Inclusivity: Trump's Tactics Against Universities

The Trump administration intends to revoke his status as a permanent resident—a green-card holder--and deport him -- they say, to protect Jewish students on campus. That’s clearly a violation of freedom of speech. But is deporting Palestinian student activists a good way to protect Jewish students? David Myers comments--he teaches Jewish history at UCLA.
