Marco Rubio: Time to Remove Federal Funding to Colleges, Universities Allowing Student to Rally in Support of Terrorism

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is planning to introduce a proposal “to remove federal funding from colleges and universities that allow protests, demonstrations, and other activity that can be reasonably construed to ‘endorse or espouse terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization,’ as designated by the U.S. government.”

At the end of last week, Rubio offered the reasons why he would introduce the proposal.

“One week ago, the world watched in horror as Hamas, the Iranian-backed terrorist group, stormed into southern Israel to slaughter, rape, mutilate, and kidnap innocent Israeli civilians—as well as dozens of Americans,” Rubio’s office noted. “In the days that followed, demonstrations have erupted across America in support of Hamas. Many of those demonstrations occurred at colleges, whose administrators shockingly failed to condemn the horrific actions of Hamas and allowed pro-terrorist activities to proceed.”
