The letter warned the administration that the suspension of the course violates students\u2019 First Amendment rights as well as their academic freedom. It also demanded that an apology be made to Hadweh and that the course be reinstated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31674\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31674\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Palestine-Course_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-31674\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Palestine-Course_02web.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A crowd holds a Palestinian flag in front of the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco on July 7, 2014.
