The thing is if I am picked to be valedictorian at my university and and asked to give a speech to my fellow graduates at my graduation and then all of a sudden I’m told I will not be allowed to speak at my graduation, you can be sure I’m going to demand why I’m not being allowed to speak(which I know she did question their stupid decision and rightly so) and what or who had a problem with me speaking and why. I read about this young woman in another article and I feel this is a travesty. We need more people like her to speak out against the injustices and especially with what’s happening now in Gaza. Thank you for sharing.

I guess she's too sweet and nice to raise a ruckus! I hate to think of what they'd do to Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohandas Gandhi and even Jesus Christ, if they were still alive!

Springfield is a good jumping off point on Tabassum’s story. There’s a lot of good stuff being written such as this https://www.ebb-magazine.com/essays/two-logics-of-war whose author was arrested standing in solidarity with protestors yesterday.
