Shocking Speech Spewing Anti-American Hate Just Uncovered
Imagine graduating from an American law school, standing before your classmates and your family (who immigrated from an oppressive country to provide you opportunities that would not have been possible otherwise), and when picked to deliver a commencement speech, choosing to spew hateful, toxic, racist, anti-American venom.
The City University of New York’s (CUNY) public law school’s commencement featured a speech from a graduating student calling for a “revolution” to challenge “oppressive” institutions in America. The speaker mentioned institutions of law and order such as the military, the police, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. prison system.
“I come to you all from the rich soil of Yemen, raised by the humble streets of Queens,” said future lawyer Fatima Mousa Mohammed, who was selected by the 2023 class to speak at the May 12 CUNY Law ceremony. At first, the law school took down the speech on YouTube– but then released it following public outcry as critics derided them for silencing a pro-Palestinian voice.
“I chose CUNY School of Law for its articulated mission [as one of the] few legal institutions… to recognize that the law is a manifestation of White supremacy that continues to oppress and suppress people in this nation and around the world.”
So just to clarify, Miss Mohammed came to this country from Yemen, where she’d likely be arrested for her words, and she chose to attain a law degree at one of our taxpayer-supported universities, and then got on a microphone and spat antisemitic, anti-American beliefs, calling the law racist and having the nerve to call for a “revolution.”
As the report continues, Mohammed claimed:
“No one person will save the world. No single movement will liberate the masses. Those who brought the ferocity of the violence, those who carry the revolution, the people, the masses, those who brought the ferocity of the violence, those who need our protection. They will carry this revolution.”
She even attacked the very school from which she’d just earned her degree and that actually gave her the pulpit to spread her hateful rhetoric. If there happens to be a riot at CUNY now, can we hold her accountable as an insurrectionist?
After all, Mohammed called for rage all the way to our elementary school hallways. I would argue that we’ve seen what rage in our school hallways looks like, and it’s tragic. Miss Mohammed should consider her words more carefully. Not only that but she also supported the destruction of capitalism and Zionism.
As Mohammed herself said in her speech:
We leave our classes, and we leave this school to a world that so desperately needs us, who have given up for the sake of liberation far more than we can imagine. So may the joy and excitement that fills the auditorium here – may the rage that fills this auditorium – dance in the hallways of our elementary schools, in our home villages of Sheikh Jarrah, Aden, Yemen, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. May we rejoice in the corners of our New York City bedroom apartments and dining tables. May it be fuel for the fight against capitalism, racism, imperialism, and Zionism around the world.
No longer are we going to capitulate to oppressors. No longer are we going to put our hope in their depraved consciousness. . . . And we will protect the fight that brings us all closer to the fall of all oppressive institutions, a reality that is only myopic and unrealistic to the oppressors but is the inevitable future for the oppressed people everywhere. For greater empires of destruction have fallen before, and so will these. So, to the class of 2023: The fight begins now.
