I feel like SCOTUS would reject this if it were brought to them. This is brazenly unconstitutional.
Assuming, of course, it's accurate. The article loses its credibility from the starts when it claims there's a witch hunt against pro-palestinian activists on campuses. That's a joke, and in fact the exact opposite is true, with Jewish students being denied seats on student government unless they pledge their loyalty to BDS.
I understand you not liking The Intercept, they have a very clear demonstrated bias against nations that constantly commit war crimes and have a secret unregulated nuclear problem.
