Stop UC Regents From Restricting Speech on Israel

Please prevent the UC Regents from adopting a tolerance report which discourages criticism of Israeli Government policies. The Regents are scheduled to quietly take action at their March 23 San Francisco meeting while the entire UC is on Spring Break.

Why is this important?

The US and California Constitutions clearly prohibit the UC Regents from restricting campus speech critical of the Israeli Government. The LA Times recently exposed the folly of censoring political speech under the guise of a tolerance policy. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-uc-intolerance-20160316-story.html
