The Thin Line Between Free Speech, Discrimination, and Geopolitics: How the Israel-Palestine Conflict Impacts College Campuses
Show Notes

The Lieb Cast tackles one of their most complex topics yet - the conflict between free speech, discrimination laws, and the ongoing geopolitical tensions in Israel and Palestine. As protests and rallies arise on college campuses across the country, Andrew explores how universities are struggling to balance protecting free expression with preventing discrimination and harassment. Mordy and Alex debate the nuances of the First Amendment and anti-discrimination statutes. And through it all, Andrew aims to provide practical guidance for university administrators who find themselves caught between competing legal obligations and lawsuits.
