She joins Bad Faith to talk to Briahna Joy Gray about the state of academic freedom, predictions for college campus protests come fall (including in NY, where Zohran Mamdani may soon be mayor), the role of Hillel & other institutional pro-Zionist actors in influencing campus speech, and the struggle to keep the faith as Israel continues to be able to execute its genocide with impunity.
