The administration at Columbia University has expelled multiple students who took part in protests last year against the slaughter of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
One of the protesters expelled was Grant Miner. Miner helped organize protests at the university, and he also helped organize a union for student workers at Columbia. He is president of the UAW Local 2710, which represents 3,000 student workers at the school. Miner was not only kicked out of school, he was also fired from his job. There was no evidence against him. He just spoke his mind.
This outrageous attack did not just come from Columbia. It came from the Trump administration which pressured the university to do this. Trump and his crew accused protesters of antisemitism, even though Miner himself is Jewish. He is a student at an elite university, an organizer and a union president who was fired and expelled because he was speaking out against a bloody massacre of women and children in Gaza. This is not just an attack on Miner. If they can attack him, they can attack everyone. No one is safe anywhere. We all should protest this outrage.
