Free speech all over the US right now!
USC canceled their commencement ceremony because they rightfully got called out for telling the valedictorian that she won't have her commencement speech, because she said something in defense of Palestinian lives on social media. So instead of apologizing and reinstating her, they decided to just cancel commencement instead. Very logical.
