Campus Anti-Fascist Network Fights Smear Campaign

FEATURING MELEIZA FIGUEROA – The stifling of academic freedom and free speech on American university campuses has a long and sordid history that includes the witch hunts of the McCarthy period. Today we see a resurgence in attacks against college professors and instructors who focus their work on issues like Israeli apartheid, the Antifa response to white supremacy, or even socialist and Marxist forms of government.
