Several California Republican legislators May 2 condemned the recent college and university campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war, calling on administrators to “restore order” and said students who commit violent or criminal acts should lose their financial aid.
Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher, during a press conference with Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, said he supported free speech on campuses, but added that “when that moves to acts, where you are taking away other people’s rights where you’re harassing, intimidating, and committing assaults on Jewish students, when you are blocking people’s access to get their education, and they’re free movement on campus, it’s a totally different story.”
