What was going on with the university there? I had obtained verbal approval from a librarian to develop an educational exhibit on Israel's changing borders created for Geography Awareness Week. It was removed because what they called procedural oversight. However, the library later claimed that it was taken down because of student complaints and alleged division it caused. Well, complaint. Isn't that too bad? So somebody didn't like an impartial analysis of the situation and all of a sudden your First Amendment is out the door. (01:53–02:05)

CLAIM

Asserts that the exhibit was removed due to procedural oversight and later due to student complaints and alleged division.
