CUNY Law School Commencement Speaker Condemns Police, Military and Israel; Speech Provokes Widespread Outrage
- A recent CUNY Law School graduate gave a commencement speech criticizing the NYPD, U.S. military, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. prison system, and Israel.
- CUNY officials and New York City's mayor condemned the speech as "hate speech" that promotes negativity and divisiveness.
- The speech has provoked anger from CUNY professors, Jewish groups, pro-Israel advocates, and conservative critics who call for defunding CUNY Law.
- However, the law school's student government supports anti-Israel boycotts and stands behind the speaker.
- The controversy highlights a broader concern that radical ideologies are overtaking top law schools and threatening the integrity of the legal profession.
