All the elements of CRT and DEI are on display here.

1. There are no objective truths. Only narratives, and the powerful create the narrative.

2. Oppressor vs oppressed is the new form of Maxist proletariat vs bourgeoisie

3. Decolonizing and abolition are the new forms of Marxist revolution

4. There are no individuals, only intersectionality, and all must stay in their intersectional group.

Ergo, Jews are white oppressor colonizers and abolition is the only solution. And it is righteous.

This is what Derrick Bell of Harvard started in the 1990s. Bell was Obama’s favorite professor, BTW

Is he a US citizen? If not, deport him.

Husain has obviously crossed the line from free speech to hate speech and should no longer be given the opportunity to speak at NYU or any other learning institution.

Trump was right about this, too. We need to end immigration from these countries. While we're at it, we need to identify and expel all terrorists and their sympathizers.

They are a literal existential threat.

Should people like this - whose anti-American activism is well documented - be allowed to live/remain in this country? Is inciting violence and destruction of public and private property a crime? Should the funding that the U.S. government provides to universities (in this case NYU) be stopped or paused when the university is found to be complicit in inciting violence and destruction of public and private property?

In one of life's greatest ironies, the backbone of modern Israel consists of the Mizrachi/Sephardi community, whose ancestors were expelled during the 1940s-1950s from ancient communities throughout the Arab/Muslim world. They were forced to leave everything behind - land and property worth billions in today's dollars - and arrived destitute in Israel, which absorbed them all while fighting existential wars and widespread boycotts, essentially doubling the population within a few years.

When liberal upper class Jewish friends in the diaspora tell me they are starting to investigate their options "just in case", I am no longer surprised. The free expression of antisemitism which is rapidly expanding across the globe may well ignite the next massive wave of aliyah, immeasurably enriching the country once again, only this time with enormous financial resources as well.

How did this maniac get a visa to immigrate to the USA? Really! Israelis who, until very recently, wanted to just to visit the USA had to jump through hoops to get a tourist visa. How did someone who admits to being pro-terror, antisocial, decries obedience to the law, get an immigration visa?

Keep up this investigative reporting. The fact that college credit is being given to listen to this nonsense is beyond disturbing. What happened to classes that taught students to produce something of value to enhance the world instead of burning it all down? Waiting for NYU’s reaction and hoping this individual is NEVER again allowed to “teach” in this country.

He should be the poster boy for banning Muslim immigration to the US.

I would like NYU and The New School to explain how it is possible that this person is affiliated with their institutions. How does hate speech constitute educational instruction and discourse? How are they dealing with this person? How are they handling what students are now reciting as chapter and verse? How are those students who do not agree being counseled? This is a nightmare.

Worthless college class. Worthless person. Deport this filth.

OK, so this piece of trash is "no longer affiliated with NYU/New School" since 2019, but student groups continue to ask him to speak on campus. This is tacit promotion of hate speech. So...

Defund the student group and ban them from campus for violating university hate speech/bullying rules.

And if NYU/New School does not, stop their federal funding for violating federal hate crimes laws (which includes "The 1968 statute made it a crime to use, or threaten to use, force to willfully interfere with any person because of race, color, religion, or national origin and because the person is participating in a federally protected activity, such as public education, employment, jury service, travel, or the enjoyment of public accommodations, or helping another person to do so.")
