Controversial Commencement Speech at CUNY Law School Sparks Outrage.

A graduate speaking at the City University of New York’s law school commencement called for a “revolution” to take on the legal system’s “white supremacy’’ and ripped the “fascist” NYPD, military and Israel. Future lawyer Fatima Mousa Mohammed, a Queens native who was selected by the graduating 2023 class to speak during the May 12 ceremony, praised CUNY for supporting student activism — but said the school still failed students by supporting such institutions as the city’s Police Department and country’s armed forces. CUNY Law initially removed Mohammed’s fiery speech from YouTube, but it was later uploaded again after critics chided the public law school for silencing Mohammed, who also ripped Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.
