The UTRGV Poli Sci Department informed me they will not host a debate on the situation in Israel, after I issued a challenge to Professor Kiersey, following his inflammatory quotes published in the student newspaper. Meanwhile, an anonymous and unsanctioned organization on campus has called a “Pro-Palestine peaceful protest.” And students have ripped down and discarded the flyers.
