Outrageous Sharia Law Advocate to Give Commencement Speech at Taxpayer-Funded University
There's been
some controversy after the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate School
of Public Health announced a pro-Palestinian Sharia Law advocate will
serve as the school's commencement speaker.
“I am
delighted to confirm that Linda Sarsour will indeed speak at our June 1
commencement at the Apollo Theater,” said Barbara Aaron, chief of staff to the
school’s dean, Ayman El-Mohandes.
Now, some,
including state Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn), are saying that Sarsour’s activism
and beliefs make her unfit to serve as speaker at the taxpayer-funded
university's commencement.
“She is
someone who associates with radical Islamists," Hikind said. "She is
someone who has said, clearly, she thinks throwing rocks at cars in Israel is a
good thing."
“I mean, it’s
just nuts. It makes no sense. It’s crazy to have this woman be the person who’s
going to speak to the students,” Hikind added.
