Project Esther Exposed: Censorship, Repression, and the Fight for Palestinian Solidarity
RSVP AT BOTTOM OF PAGE
Event Description:
Unmasking the orchestrated silencing of Palestinian voices on campus, this presentation exposes how the Heritage Foundation’s "Project Esther” weaponizes Jewish traditions and deploys McCarthy-era tactics to criminalize academic discourse and student activism under the guise of combating antisemitism. This talk highlights the alarming intersection of donor influence, administrative overreach, and political repression to examine what's truly at stake when universities abandon their fundamental mission as bastions of critical inquiry and democratic values.
Join the conversation with our speaker:
