Immediately following Hamas' terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, student groups at Harvard University, Princeton University and beyond celebrated the slaughter of roughly 1,400 innocent people, while many faculty and administration at those institutions chose stay silent and not to condemn. In response, many wealthy donors at these institutions have pulled their funding and disassociated themselves from the universities they previously supported.Today we get the World's Smartest Podcast Network gang of Andrew Heaton from The Political Orphanage and Andrea Jones-Rooy of Majoring in Everything back to discuss this tense time for universities in America. We examine what universities responses should look like, what the difference between free speech and hate speech is on campus, and what responsibilities donors should feel to an institution they currently disagree with.Lost In America is hosted by us AKA Turner Sparks and Michael Ira Kaplan.
