San Antonio college students send letter demanding right to protest Gaza war

Students from five San Antonio higher-ed campuses sent letters asking their respective administrations to "publicly oppose" an order by Gov. Greg Abbott requiring campuses to revise their free-speech policies to counter what he called a "sharp rise in antisemitic speech." The letter — sent Wednesday to the presidents of San Antonio College, UTSA, Texas A&M San Antonio, Trinity University and UT Health-San Antonio — also asked school leaders to use their resources to litigate in defense of student speech. None of the five schools responded to the Current's request for comment on the letter.
