Rep. Ryan Clancy's Testimony Against AB 446, re the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism

Published | Video Starts at 14:44

So I want to be really clear here. Chancellors can allow students to be in public spaces in tents or on towels or however they want. It is not illegal. State law gives chancellors the ability to allow students to express themselves and yes, to make an encampment where they set up a library, at a cafeteria, and yes, have signs which challenge the status quo. That is the best part of what a university can do. I don't understand your question. Okay, I'll ask it again. (14:44–14:57)
