April 15: Amidst growing tensions surrounding Israel and Palestine, USC canceled student and advocate Asna Tabassum’s valedictorian speech out of concern for “safety.”
“Anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian voices have subjected me to a campaign of racist hatred because of my uncompromising belief in human rights for all… I was hoping to use my commencement speech to inspire my classmates with a message of hope. By canceling my speech, USC is only caving to fear and rewarding hatred,” Tabassum said in a statement.
