A Jewish economist was pushed out of his Georgetown Law commencement speaking role because students called him “Zionist.” The word was used as a slur. The school complied. This is the campus climate in 2026.

I am a Georgetown alumna. I am proud of that. And I am not willing to let pride become silence.

When I felt the helplessness rise up, I recognized it. It is the grief of watching an institution you love choose expedience over integrity. I turned to Torah. Psalm 37 steadied me: “Do not fret. Be still before God. He will not forsake His faithful. The Lord loves justice.”

Justice is not delivered by bystanders. We speak. We write. We show up. We do it with love, because love is what separates advocacy from rage.

I choose love. And I choose to keep fighting.
