A University of Kentucky law professor, Ramsi Woodcock, has filed a federal lawsuit against the university and the United States Secretary of Education after being suspended for calling for a global war to destroy Israel. Woodcock argues that his anti-Zionist statements are protected free speech, while the university cites state antisemitism laws and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition to justify its investigation. The case highlights the ongoing legal battles over the boundaries of protected speech, antisemitism, and anti-Zionism on American campuses, and serves as a counterpoint to lawsuits filed by Jewish groups alleging discrimination. The outcome could set significant legal precedents for how universities handle similar controversies in the future.
