House Speaker Mike Johnson speaking on Holocaust Remembrance Day:
We remember what happened then [in Nazi Germany], and today, we are witnessing American universities quickly become hostile places for Jewish students and faculty.
The very campuses which were once the envy of the international academy have succumbed to an antisemitic virus. Students who were known for producing academic papers, are now known for stabbing Jewish peers in the eyes with Palestinian flags.
Faculty who once produced cutting-edge research are linking arms with pro-Hamas protestors calling for a “global intifada.”
Administrators who were once lauded by their peers for leadership are barring Jewish faculty and choosing not to protect their Jewish students. Jewish students are physically threatened when they walk on campus, as their peers hold posters repeating the Nazi propaganda and the program: the final solution.
Now is a time for moral clarity – we must put an end to this madness.
