William & Mary Student Protest and the ACLU

NPR's program *1A* features an interview with Dania Abdel-Hamid, a Black Lives Matter activist at the College of William & Mary who helped shut down an ACLU speaker. Abdel-Hamid argues that "liberalism is white supremacy" and that protecting the free speech of white supremacists is a form of complicity. The hosts deconstruct the activist's claim that certain dialogues "question her humanity."

ACLU Protest Rights, Black Lives Matter Chants

An ACLU regional director was shouted down by Black Lives Matter protesters at the College of William & Mary while attempting to give a speech on protest rights. The protesters used rhythmic chants such as "The oppressed are not impressed" and "ACLU, you protect Hitler too," referring to the organization's defense of free speech for neo-Nazis. The hosts characterize these repetitive chants as a form of "mind control" used to disrupt helpful legal information.
