Dear Editor:

Re her article "Republicans Wanted a Crackdown on Israel’s Critics. Columbia Obliged," Michelle Goldberg apparently doesn't recognize the difference between cracking down on bigoted students vigorously supporting Hamas terrorists and calling for the destruction of democratic Israel - something they have the right to do and which hasn't been impeded - and cracking down on "students" for disrupting the operation of a university and making it unsafe for real students whose parents are spending nearly a hundred grand a year to give them an education.

Sincerely,

Alan Stein
