Northwestern blocks 300 students over controversial antisemitism training, igniting campus free speech battle
At Northwestern University, over 300 students were barred from registering after refusing a mandatory antisemitism training they describe as biased and politically charged. Critics say the video conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism and risks inflaming campus tensions. The standoff raises urgent questions about academic freedom, free speech, and the intersection of political advocacy with university compliance policies.
