Protesters say UTSA restricted their speech at march calling for Gaza ceasefire

During a Wednesday afternoon protest at the University of Texas at San Antonio calling for a Gaza ceasefire, organizers were forced to halt chants several times due, saying school administrators imposed rules limiting their speech. During the three hour demonstration, organizers stopped the approximately 150 participant from chanting in Arabic and using slogans that explicitly mention Israel. Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) member Tori Ramirez said a UTSA administrator warned she and other organizers shortly before the event got underway that terms including "Zionism" and "Israel" and chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" were prohibited due because they qualified as "antisemitic hate speech."
