Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter said she was suspended Thursday by Barnard College after refusing to leave an encampment set up on campus in support of Gaza.
Isra Hirsi, 21, said she received notice that she and at least two other students were suspended for “standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide,” Hirsi wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Good on the university for not giving her special treatment publicly. Someone is learning a valuable lesson today. It will be interesting to see how long this lasts and if behind closed doors the suspension is lifted.
