Ron deSantis scores victory in preventing pro-Hamas groups from dwelling on college campuses
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took a legal victory after a federal judge refused to block his demand to oust pro-Palestinian student groups from Florida universities, Politico reported on Thursday.It's vital that all concerned withhold funding from these universities if they don't get the chapters off campus, because those who'd incite to racial violence don't belong there. deSantis' victory here is important, but there's still more work to be done.
Two Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters hailing from the University of Florida and the University of South Florida had asked a federal court to stop DeSantis from kicking them off campus, after the governor declared he he would do so over their support for Hamas, according to Politico. Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker refused the SJP groups’ request to block DeSantis from taking measures to punish them and dismissed the governor as the defendant in the lawsuits. [...]
Walker’s decision gives DeSantis the upper hand in his continued fight to have the SJP groups removed from their respective campuses, according to Politico. DeSantis may face another legal battle, however, should his demand for the group’s removal be granted.
