Butler University DEI Investigating College Republicans

 Hat tip The College Fix and The Daily Signal

-The Daily Signal

Indiana's Butler University is also experiencing the fallout from the Israel-Hamas war. Just days after the horrific attacks by Hamas on October 7, Students for Justice in Palestine's (SJP) Butler chapter, along with their pro-Palestinian allies, held demonstrations against Israel. The College Republicans spoke out against this support quoting chants that appeared to support the Hamas attacks of October 7. In the above photo, pro-Palestinian protesters, reportedly from Butler's Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, climbed on top of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in downtown Indianapolis on October 12.

Free speech vs free speech, right?

Not according to the thought police of the campus office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), which notified the College Republicans that they were under investigation for hate speech. The DailySignal, newspaper of the conservative Heritage Foundation, has a report.

This is just another indication of just how dangerous this DEI institution has become. Here we have SJP taking over an American monument to our soldiers and sailors, climbing on top of the statues with their asinine Palestinian flags, chanting calls for the destruction of the Jewish state, and condoning one of the most horrific terrorist attacks we have seen in recent decades, and DEI apparently thinks that they should be immune from criticism. The College Republicans rightfully criticize them, and now find themselves under investigation by the DEI campus komissars. They could face having their chapter shut down by the university.

But when have we seen a College Republican chapter anywhere engage in disruption of events or bullying of other students? SJP does it all day long. If any student organization deserves to be banned from any and all campuses, it is SJP. And while they are at it, our universities need to dismantle DEI and re-think how they want to "promote" harmony on campus rather than promote more division.
