Letter Urges Cong. Stefanik to Resign for Promoting Genocide in Gaza

Constituents of Congressmember Elise Stefanik have sent a letter urging the Republican lawmaker to “resign immediately for your aiding and abetting genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by voting to send arms to the IDF to perpetrate the crime in violation of the Genocide Convention.” The letter also raised Stefanik’s role in the ouster of the presidents of Harvard and MIT for allowing pro-Palestinian protests on campus. Professor Peter LaVenia, who worked with Ralph Nader on the letter, discusses the call for Stefanik’s resignation as well as the issue of academic free speech on college campuses.
