The Concern: A CUNY Regulation graduate criticized the army, police and Israel in her graduation speech.

As an alumnus of Metropolis College of New York undergraduate and graduate applications, I can’t think about {that a} graduate of CUNY Regulation college would have given such a disgraceful graduation speech 40 years in the past (“Stark raving grad,” Could 30).

The disparagement of our authorized system, our army, our police and one in every of our staunchest allies on this planet flies within the face of all that’s respectable and wondrous about America.

I’m certain there are good and respectable college students and school members at CUNY and different establishments of upper studying who disagree with Fatima Mousa Mohammed’s ravings. Are they too intimidated by the woke mob to talk up?

To paraphrase Edmund Burke, “All it takes for evil to triumph is for good individuals to do nothing.”

Mohammed’s vicious speech at CUNY Regulation Faculty’s graduation was a completely derisive and divisive rant towards america.

Whoever allowed these phrases to be spewed by this indignant graduate must be ashamed.

If everybody who felt as attacked as I did had walked out, justice would have been considerably served.

I congratulate The Submit for its brave front-page story and articles in regards to the neo-Marxist rantings of CUNY legislation graduate Fatima Mousa Mohammed.

Few newspapers and publications adequately report the revolutionary zeal of those true believers of their fake anti-colonialist intersectional trigger.

Not solely do they maintain a major presence in academia, however they populate the Biden administration as properly, advancing the so-called “woke” agenda throughout varied departments.

Sadly, President Biden and different old-style Democrats assume solely about elevating cash from their occasion’s donor class, lobbyists and international actors. They by no means notice the festering ideology that’s invading the Democrat Social gathering.

Those that maintain Mohammed’s revolutionary, racist, anti-Semitic and socialist beliefs are able to swallowing the Democratic Social gathering complete.

The previous Yiddish expression that “a rotten fish stinks from its head” was by no means extra apropos then when utilized to CUNY Regulation Faculty.

That the speaker would rail towards America and Israel shouldn’t be stunning. It’s simpler to spout hate from a podium than to advertise a fair higher American society or Palestinians who advocate for peace.

The basis of the issue is the CUNY management, which tolerates and encourages a radical anti-American and anti-Israel platform.

Why are they nonetheless funded with public tax {dollars}? The place is the governor? The mayor? The CUNY trustees? It’s shameful.

That was a graduation speech?

No, it was a rant stuffed with the very best type of woke rage, anti-Semitism and anti-Israel, anti-police and anti-military rhetoric.

And Mohammed was chosen to be a consultant of the CUNY legislation college’s graduating class of 2023? It’s mind-boggling and a testomony to only how low CUNY has sunk.

The CUNY legislation graduate mentioned in her graduation speech she hates the NYPD, the US army and Israel.

The freshly minted grad additionally hates her alma mater for having “self-serving pursuits” and “[continuing] to fail us.” She hates town, the nation, Israel (in fact) and her college, which gave her an schooling and an entry into the legislation career.

Is there something that she likes?

How will Mohammed’s intense hate mesh with showing earlier than the bench as an legal professional, when the legislation aspires to “justice for all”? That features pro-Israel and pro-law-enforcement people.
