On HBO’s “Real Time” broadcast Friday, Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, called the handling of campus protests over the past week “astonishing” and a “double standard.” , he said, if he had done the same thing. He said he would “call in the National Guard” for black students. “What is clear to me is that free speech is most free when it comes to hate speech against Jews.”
“The double standard here is pretty stark,” Galloway said. “Dylan Roof walks into a church in Charleston and kills nine members of a black church. I wear a white hood and carry a Confederate flag. If you go to these university plazas with placards and start saying globalize Dylan, kill black people, you don’t need context, you don’t talk about free speech, and I’m out of academia. And if I infuriated the students and started harassing non-white students on their way to the library, hitting them in the face, throwing things at them—actually. That happened in — we wouldn’t have had this happen. If you talk about the First Amendment, you’re going to call in the National Guard. And it’s clear to me that freedom of speech is paramount. What makes it free is hate speech against Jews.”
He added: “I think we’re going to have to cut down on the 19-year-old players quite a bit. The whole point of being 19 years old is to do stupid things, learn and move on. I don’t want the cameras following me. Thank goodness…I was 19. Teachers, if we made the mistake of hiring you and you want to support Islamic Jihad and the Islamic Republic, we made a mistake. , we should right that wrong. We’re paying these people to be critical if they don’t turn down the heat and criticize a murderous dictatorship. If they lack thought, then they should be fired, quite simply.”
