For context, the University of Missouri denied MSJP the right to march in their homecoming parade, citing the “disturbing” behavior of students elsewhere. Meanwhile, political banners like “Make America Great Again” are allowed.
That’s not just hypocrisy. It’s a blatant violation of the First Amendment.
Colleges are supposed to be spaces of exploration, not exploitation. Students must be free to express their full, authentic selves, whether that means practicing their faith, debating freely, or lifting up the suffering of Palestinians. To deny that right to MSJP is to erode decades of progress in creating inclusive and just learning environments.
We demand that President Choi and the administration issue a public apology, guarantee full inclusion for all students, and commit to ending this silencing of voices they find uncomfortable.
We won’t rest until justice is won. ADD YOUR NAME today to demand accountability and protect free expression at Mizzou:
