	"description": "After Asna Tabassum, a first-generation South Asian-American Muslim, was chosen Class of 2024 valedictorian by the University of Southern California (USC), she was given the traditional speaking spot at graduation Days later, the school canceled her speech because of alleged “security” fears over her vocal support for Palestinian rights. USC&#x27;s decision marks the first time in the school’s 143 year history administrators have ever prevented its valedictorian from speaking at graduation. It sets a dangerous precedent against free speech. It also empowers voices of hate, bigotry and violence while sending a terrible message to not only Muslim students at USC, but all students who dare to express support for Palestinian humanity nationwide. The Council on American-Islamic Relations-Los Angeles has asked anyone outraged by this to contact USC and demand Tassabum be allowed to speak just like every single other valedictorian has for over a century. Click ‘START WRITING’ to send your direct message to the USC Board of Trustees and demand they reverse course and let valedictorian Asna Tabassum speak now.",
