> UCLA was “failing to promote a research environment free of antisemitism and bias”

Is Trump using antisemitism as an excuse to crack down on liberal universities? Because this will make people only more critical of Israel.

Yes, this is part of Project Esther by the Heritage Foundation. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/us/project-esther-heritag...

US universities do a lot of research on Palestine and Israel's occupation and apartheid there. In addition, universities are naturally liberal and are targets of the right wing anti-education movement.

You call it anti-education, they'd call it anti-indoctrination. In the end, its all political warfare. Illegal immigration being similar.
