Arizona State University (ASU) canceled an on-campus event scheduled for Friday, where Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib from Michigan was set to speak. The event, organized by the Arizona Palestine Network, was named “Palestine is an American Issue.”
Background: The cancellation was confirmed by an ASU spokesperson who informed Fox News Digital that the event did not adhere to university policies and procedures. According to the spokesperson, events utilizing ASU facilities must be properly registered and meet all university requirements for crowd management, parking, security, and insurance. The organizers failed to follow these protocols, leading to the cancellation of the event on the Tempe campus.
Arizona Palestine Network’s Response: Reacting to the cancellation on Facebook, the Arizona Palestine Network deemed it “completely unacceptable.” They argued that Rashida Tlaib, as the only Palestinian member of Congress, should be allowed to speak on an American issue at the event. The group accused ASU of contradicting its commitment to free speech by denying Palestinians their voices on campus.
Congresswoman Tlaib’s Recent Controversy: Tlaib’s appearance at ASU was slated just over a week after the House of Representatives censured her for making anti-Israel comments. The resolution accused her of promoting false narratives regarding a Hamas attack on Israel and calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.
The cancellation of the event at Arizona State University has sparked controversy, with the Arizona Palestine Network criticizing ASU for infringing on free speech principles. The incident comes amidst heightened tensions surrounding Tlaib’s recent censure by the House of Representatives.
