UCLA Sued Over Handling of Pro-Hamas Encampment – Algemeiner.com

A lawsuit accusing the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) of fostering a discriminatory learning environment was filed in federal court on Wednesday, another in a series of cases Jewish students have brought forth against their colleges in the aftermath of Hamas Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel and ensuing riotous pro-Hamas protests which convulsed the 2023-2024 academic year.

This rampant anti-Jewish environment burst into view on Oct. 8, 2023, the day after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in a harrowing rampage that saw over one thousand innocent Jews, including infants and the elderly, murdered, raped, and mutilated, said the complaint, filed in the US District Court for the Central District Court of California.

In the wake of these horrifying events, UCLA should have taken steps to ensure that its Jewish students were safe and protected from harassment and undeterred in obtaining full access to campus facilities, it continued. Instead, UCLA officials routinely turned their backs on Jewish students, aiding and abetting a culture that has allowed calls for annihilation of the Jewish people, Nazi symbolism, and religious slurs to go unchecked.

Pretty pretty interesting. I approve of this suit, but why not make it a class action? Or rather, one can think of lots of class actions and good sized plaintiff classes as well.
