LEWISTON The student government at Bates College joined 14 other student organizations to denounce the college’s decision this week to ask police to investigate some anti-Israel graffiti.
Getting the police involved, their joint statement said, was “a censure of student voices” that “makes students feel unsafe and oppressed on our campus.”
“We fear for our communities of color, specifically brown, Arab, Middle Eastern and Muslim students, that will most likely be the targets of this investigation,” said the statement, which also included a call to “free Palestine.”
