"What was supposed to be a time of celebration for Asna Tabassum - the University of Southern California’s 2024 valedictorian - has turned to disappointment after the university denied her the chance to give a speech at commencement over security concerns.
“Over the past several days, discussion relating to the selection of our valedictorian has taken on an alarming tenor,” USC Provost Andrew Guzman said in an online campus-wide letter. “The intensity of feelings, fueled by both social media and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, has grown to include many voices outside of USC and has escalated to the point of creating substantial risks relating to security and disruption at commencement.”"

Since Asna Tabassum appears to be an observant Islamist-her hijab suggests this-she should probably start by using her freedom to speech to criticise Islam for considering kaafirs to be 2nd class human beings.

No Cenk, the concern was that it would instigate the 'peacefuls' to express their peace-loving nature, by following in the peaceful footsteps of the peacenik of a founder of their peaceful faith.

This is not even politics....12,000 dead children and 1000's starving .... that needs to be talked about
Yep - even today the IDF killed children in a playground. Sadly, that's the norm. But some people chose to blame Hamas for everything, not recognizing the long violent history of Israel. For example, the march of return in 2018. As peaceful as can be, but the IDF snipers still killed 100+ people - all peacefully marching. It goes on and on. That's why so many Jews actually oppose Zionism. Kudos to them for being real Jews, and recognizing that they should not kill, steal etc.
It amazes me talking about the Palestinians no one has ever said a word about what Russia is doing to Ukraine, thousands of men, women and children that have been murdered by Russia not a word I guess it’s because they’re white and probably Christian
Congratulations USC. You have turned an unknown valedictorian whose speech would have been heard by a few thousand graduates and their parents into a martyr whose speech may eventually be heard or read by millions. Asna Tabassum may, hopefully, become a powerful spokesperson for the Palestinian people, and may find herself on numerous TV programs.
Bruh no one cares about her pro hamas speech thats why it was canceled
@@northvanguy621 You don't know that her speech was pro Hamas, or anti-semitic. It could have been pro Palestinian, which is completely different.
Asking Jewish students to listen to someone with her views at their own graduation is abhorrent! Equivalent to inviting someone from the Klan to speak at a ceremony where POC would be present. Posting hateful views about others disqualifies one from being honored by being selected as valedictorian. She disqualified herself.
@@Music_Lover26: Interesting so Arabs and Christians and Jews and Hindus and Sikhs and Shinto and Atheists all shouldn't have to sit and listen to people whose views they don't align with as well.

What’s the watermelon mean?
How scared do you have to be?!? Let her speak and then decide
It is not a question of being "scared" or of what she would say. What she might say is NOT the issue. When you advocate for "the total abolishment" (an EXACT quote from the link she shared on her social media), of an ENTIRE COUNTRY you are advocating genocide. Actual genocide, not the one constantly being shouted at protests. Students from that country and from the faith and ethnicity of the majority of people of that country should not be forced to accept a person with such views as the valedictorian of their graduating class. To be named as valedictorian is a privilege and an honor, one that many students aspire to. Such an honor is based not only on grades but the overall achievements of the person who is selected. A student with such abhorrent views is not representative of most students and should not serve in the honored position of valedictorian. Should students of color be subjected to having a student espousing racist views as their valedictorian? There appears to be a lack of understanding of what being valedictorian means.
Yes let’s us question everything!
The admins at USC are a bunch of cowards for this. Weak move.
The people who run USC have always been cowards 💯
They know who is paying the bills -the money worshippers! They have to listen or not eat that’s how bad this crap is in the USA !
The young woman has called the destruction of Israel in the past so what not to say she’ll not say it again . Look at all pro supporters and the pro Hamas protesters you know Hamas the terrorist group. USC just wants a a peaceful graduation and that’s their right
Why don't you let her do the speech in your show and it'll be viral
She would have more audience than she has USC
That is a great idea. However, its highly doubtful they would do that. Alienating members of the audience and/or subscribers can end horribly.
Since I and obviously many others personally do not know the contexts of her speech. Any antisemitic or non-Christian veiws would stir a unwanted reaction from the American people that would not help the people of Gaza. Causing a more negative view of Muslims in the United States and abroad.
The Hypocracy is unbearable
instead of attending the ceremony, she should livestream her speech, bigger audience
They cancel conservative speakers all the time.
Did she even indicate she was going to mention Gaza. Did they even ask, or did they just assume.
That's a really good point about the double standard on who would be allowed freedom of speech and who wouldn't. We say it's a free country but high schools and universities time and again censor. What we claim to teach kids and what we're actually teaching them are two different things.
There's no reason for alumni to donate to their university. You paid the tuition fee, the university provided the service. End of story. If you want to help poor students, donate to independent foundations who give scholarships.

Valedictorian speech? No one cares
This is the answer. No one listens or even remembers who gets these silly distinctions.
She Academically earned her right to her address.
She could have spoken in defense of any subject: cannibalism, wife-swapping, mass looting and mayhem, but she dare not speak in defense of the Palestinians. That is antisemitic according to the ADL and must be forbidden speech.
Apparently you’re willing to exclude “hate speech” against Jews. Any kind of hate is dangerous. No exceptions.
It's insane that USC chose to deal with this news story and tank their reputation instead of upsetting a few Jewish donors
It's Evangelical donors AND Republican donors AND 'Neo-liberal' Democrat donors as well.
@@yishnir Uni's don't why away from offending them for other topics, it's just for Jewish causes b/c they give lots and have lots of sway
The USC has the right to cancel the valedictory address to prevent violence. Who knows: That valedictorian might be hit by missle strike , just what happened to the Iran Embassy in Syria.
Invite her to your channel to give the speech. Bigger audience than all USC graduates in history.
She already went to many TV channels and her story is now much bigger than USC. Censorship does mot work! Should never be done to right or left wing views
best idea i've heard yet
@@veritassumma5728 it is beyond me how out of touch with reality and humanity these university administrators are. But thank the lord they blocked her so that the world can hear her voice. The lord works in mysterious ways.
It's a graduation ceremony for everyone. Politics shouldn't be involved. If I was at my graduation and had to listen to someone preach about things I don't agree with I would walk out. I'm sure many others would as well. Save the speach for your protest after.
Shhhh .what politics are u talking abt .she literally just posted a story abt the abolishment of an apartheid system and nothing else
LOL. Walking out is your prerogative and your freedom. Silencing members of minority groups who are currently facing oppression is just fascism.
No, she denied Israel's right to exist.
This is beyond ridiculous. What did this young woman say that was so offensive? She supports Palestinian rights. So what?? What's wrong with that? The Israeli occupation of the United States has to end. This is the USA! What's going on?

there is a time and place for political speech
Where is the time and place that this person would have an audience like this?
@@Ballin-97 in a political rally

@@nishthaneelabh8389 It’s not about “doing” something directly. The notion that political speech is strictly reserved for political rallies is flawed. People who attend political rallies typically already have a strong position, or else they wouldn’t be attending those rallies. A graduation ceremony, which celebrates education, is a reasonably appropriate opportunity to voice an important message, at least to a certain extent. Conversely, gatherings like weddings and funerals would not be appropriate
@@Ballin-97 i dont really care about what is really happening in gaza and if there are people

You are right, I thought the Cancel culture was on the progressive side, but its also the conservative side as well.
You must ingest a lot of right-wing propaganda if you thought cancel culture was a progressive trait. It has always been the right-wingers who want to control what people do or say or wear or listen to. It was right-wingers who complain if something non-puritanical is broadcast over the radio or TV. It is right-wingers who want to forbid people from wear clothing they feel is inappropriate. It was right-wingers who have tried to ban jazz and hiphop. It is right-wingers who ban books.
The only time progressives "cancel" someone is when someone's hate interferes with others. We cannot have raciest school teachers, for example.
@@mathieufaltys your left wing has blinded you for the foreseeable future. I am proud to be a conservative 😉
The irony is, Hebrews & Arabs are both Semites.
If they could only sort out their religious differences, agree to disagree, and learn how to get along with each other like grown-ups,
there wouldn't be so many human wildfires around. Maybe then they would have a chance of getting to know each other.
The USC faculty and the MSM are intellectual turnips in compare with Ansa and many other students in colleges everywhere.
I hope other bright young minds will get a chance to speak their peace when the time and place are right.
The weaponization of labels to prevent and subvert communication, to silence potential critics and philosophers (wisdom-lovers),
is a blight on humane progress, and leads to Cancel Culture, which does just that: it cancels culture. Flunk, USC.
Palestine is real.
Isreal is real.
Genocide kills.
I honestly don’t understand why it’s important to speak on a controversial topic during a graduation ceremony. It’s supposed to be a time of joy. Who wants to feel bad at a graduation?
Where did you hear anything about a controversial topic being spoken at this graduation? She wasn't de-selected over a speech, there is no speech.
She was de-selected because she is muslim & her social media bio & post as this reporting clearly stated.
@@malachibenyisrael4621 I’m not saying that it did take place, I understand that she was de-selected and I can understand why. I get that they looked on her social media and seen pro Palestine content. I would have de-selected her too. The same goes for the other side. I would not want her or anyone speaking about controversial topics during a graduation ceremony. I think they should have reached out and discussed her speech to ensure it wouldn’t be controversial. However, I understand their concerns and approach to the situation as well. Why risk it especially when everything goes viral nowadays.
"She's damned if she does, she's damned if she doesn't!"
Think about it!?
Now who wants ice cream?
@@LordGreedtheEmperor its not about the speech or anything she would potentially say being controversial. Its about the person and her social media and not wanting her to speak at all. On what basis do you assume her speech would be controversial, because she's muslim and made social media post?
Did you even watch the video? The school has security concerns not controversial topic concerns. They dont want a person with pro-palestinian post to speak at all, be it about Gaza or ice cream.
@@malachibenyisrael4621 Indeed I did watch the video and there are serious concerns with security over the potentially controversial speech she may have made which might spark violence at the graduation. I don’t assume anything but I understand why they had to take the security measures by removing her. I don’t think it had to do with her religion at all just her sentiments. I would be against a pro Israel Jewish woman from speaking just the same. As you can see from all over the country that tensions are already high and the chances of violence are greater. It’s a school not a protest rally, they have to protect the students, staff, and guests. I would rather them not chance it. There is a time and a place for that but it’s definitely not a graduation.
Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin will be outraged at this violation of free speech.

@@juliamalinsky9309 Um... What?

Why would the university select her? She is known to be political. The point is graduation speeches are not political.
Sad to see so much intolerance at a major learning institution. 2024 feels more like 1924
Intolerance is thinking that Israel shouldn't exist therefore anything Palestinians do to them is okay.

@@waynefrench756
They had 7 chances for a state and turned them all down. They're doing this to themselves
So did they think she was going to bring up Israel / Palestine at the speech, or was the fact that someone like her was going to speak at all offensive to them independent of what it was she was going to say?
Not to sound antisemitic, but is there anything that doesn’t irritate our chosen few? Their constant whining is really quite annoying.
The fact that they call themselves the chosen people is laughable.
Islam is not compatible with America or Western Civilization for that matter. USC did the right thing. This is a good thing, and let's hope the west wakes up.
Valedictorian speech is not the place for political agenda. However, we have had everything politicized for years, but now that it's not their side, they don't like it.
We're you so indignant when they canceled those conservative speeches?
Of course, this isn’t cancel culture.
These are wardens' of young minds? This nation is intellectually and spiritually corrupt.
NOT allowing her to speak may result in an even more unsafe commencement environment.
I have a feeling this sort of thing is quite common now in our educational system. In Arizona, the Superintendant of Public Instruction in a press conference urged district superintendants to ban UNICEF and Amnesty International from Arizona school campuses, calling the organizations liars and hate groups. And Arizona State University cancelled Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's previously scheduled speech. Our educational system is now an indoctrinational system, divorced from real education, facts, and reality.
USC = University of Supreme Censorship
If you’re going to college and you feel unsafe because someone is calling out genocide being carried out by a country affiliated with your religion: drop out.
Great point!
Tell USC nobody wants to hear valedictorian speeches anyways, nevermind sitting through graduation. Universities just don't get it. By the time you get done with campus politics, just mail the certs. Why the ceremony? Here's your paper... get a job if you can.
@@LeoBaker-ir3vo Definitely hard fought. People in science and engineering are not into social ceremony. Allegiance is superfluous when you have to turn around and get 6+ pro certs. That's when real starts. Admittedly, I'm envious because the tech schools are x1000 better than what it used to be. Trust me, GenX taught some lessons back to the institution about the reality thing.
@@LeoBaker-ir3vo I guess it shows that I went to a metro campus where we all have jobs. Some people like the idea of departmental graduation, where you actually sit with your cohorts, the top student of the dept would speak, more personal and meaningful without all of the hoo-ha. No trying to hide two Redbulls under your gown to stay awake.
@@LeoBaker-ir3vo They didn't make me. It's the most expensive baby step ever. I'm not put on this planet to stroke egos. It's a product. A family dinner would be sufficient.
@@LeoBaker-ir3vo What I'm getting at, is if you attribute knowledge base to making you, and you end up jobless at some point, you will have an identity crisis. Really, you teach yourself, you are only assisted. Success is the culmination of lessons learned by failure, not a grade or place. Ultimately, it's on you, you earned it, but it's from your application of skill set, not a textbook. I don't care where people went to school or what grades they made as long as they can exhibit skill. People in IT, we mostly taught ourselves or in cadres. Our hard skills came from somewhere else, not a campus necessarily. It was IT that brought up the online education because schools never moved fast enough. My best training was after. Nobody makes you. You can't buy wisdom.
Hmmm, I wonder if her speech would have been canceled if it was pro-Israel?
Her speech was filled with vile and hateful rhetoric; she didn't need to include any political or social views in her graduation speech; her valedictorian status did not give her the right to degrade and belittle Israeli Jews and other minorities. If she wanted to bring awareness to the plight of the oppressed Palestinian people (by Hamas no less) , she could have done it in a different neutral setting (instead of callind for the destruction of Israeli's, their sovereign nation, their faith, their culture, etc.). USA is a mostly Christian nation, and this poison of radical Islam hurts the nation as a whole...even though some Muslims are not violent and don't call for the extermination of non-Muslims. If only those non-violent , pro peace and sanctity Muslims would stand up and speak out on the matter these kind of graduates would not deem it necessary to become extreme/pro-ISIS or Hamas. By the way, how quickly some people forget that Egypt and even the West Bank (Palestinian Territories) fought against Hamas many years ago yet now its Israel this, Israel that & only Israel is to blamr for the suffering of the clearly oppressed and marginalised Palestinians people ?! Bill O'Reilly said it best: show both sides of the story and bring a fair & balanced approach to journalism...yet the TYT only talk about one side or viewpoint and slam/push back any dissensting opinions.
I meant her speech might have been filled with vile garbage and pro-Hamas/ISIS propaganda.

I am pro-Israel. But even more, I am pro-free speech. If the USC tradition has been to allow the valedictorian to give an address on a topic of their choice, then this young woman needs to be afforded that opportunity, and USC has an obligation to provide adequate protection for her and those in the audience. One of the things that makes Israel superior to its surrounding Arab neighbors is that, in Israel, you can criticize the government's actions. That is a value we seem to be losing in the United States.
I disagree with both of you, and your on- camera drama. You're overdoing it. No student should seek to rile up a crowd during a grad speech.
USC students should protest the actions of the administration.
Cancellation of a speech at a Uni... Yikes 😬
The principle of not killing is a fundamental aspect of many ethical frameworks and is considered a universal moral principle. While historical contexts can provide insight into the factors that may have influenced certain actions, they do not justify actions that violate fundamental moral principles.
The killing of others, regardless of the historical context, is widely recognized as unethical and unjustifiable. It's important to uphold moral principles, such as respect for human life and dignity, regardless of the circumstances.
Reflecting on historical events can help us understand the complexities of human behavior and the impact of social, political, and cultural dynamics. However, it's essential to maintain a commitment to ethical principles that promote peace, justice, and respect for all individuals.

If they request speech to not include anything about her stance on the war or anti American topics, I don't think that is far from the usual clearing speeches with admin. But banning all together isn't right either.
Love you guys
She's a citizen, her rights are gone, I see a lawsuit😮😮😮
Wanna bet here lawyer won’t be Jewish 😂
How fkin dumb is the average TYT viewer to comment this and/or like it lmao
Its not a government institution so speech rights do not apply.
There is no "right" to be a valedictorian. This private university confers that honor to a deserving student. When you promote hatred toward another group, particularly a group who is part of the student body you would be addressing you do not deserve that honor. So the honor was rescinded.
@@Music_Lover26 but Trump has the right to hate, Rape, scam, Jan6, wow!!!!
Does no one remember CUNY Law’s Valedictorian Speech last year? Increased violence against Jewish people right after.
Plus - it should be a speech to the class recognizing their shared accomplishment of graduating, not a speech to divide.
For real what speech was that? majority of Americans don't know what speech you are taking about. Also, did you miss the part that mentioned they don't even know what her speech is about? So how was the speech against Israel?🤷
Good point I am an alum of cuny so i have to listen to that
@@dmf30 several Jewish staff members left the school after that speech and as an L1 - I withdrew my application. All the anti Israel messaging I saw on my 2 tours there was enough.
@@Miranda3730 this is from a Valedictorian speech that made international headlines last year. You can search CUNY Valedictorian Speech 2023 and it will come up.
Also where TYT isn’t being clear here, is that the link her profile calls for the complete dismantling of Israel.
To ask ahead of time for a draft would be considered censorship, so why take the risk of allowing such a radical view to be blasted?
Guzman needs to go
Good! The Val's speech shouldn't be about American foriegn policy or world events.
Pray tell then Ruler of the Galaxy...what SHOULD a Valedictorians speech be about? I thought you people were against censorship and cancel culture. Yet here you are doing that very thing.
Absolutely!
What are the threats? How much should the school be sued for?
The racism against this poor girl is disgusting, I truly hope that the university of Southern California changes their mind and let's her speak...Jewish donors squashing free speech is abhorrent.
You advocate for the abolition of a country and people supportive of that country don't want to hear it that is NOT racism! It is common sense! I am American and do not want to hear someone advocating for the abolition of my country at a ceremony of any kind or anywhere. Being chosen a valedictorian is an honor, not a right. She forfeited that honor when she dishonored herself and fellow students by posting a link on social media calling for abolishing a nation. A nation that is an ally of the United states, the country in which she attends school. A Jewish nation loved by and supported by fellow students who are Jewish.
@@Music_Lover26: How do you know what she was going to say during her address?
And I guess now we should investigate everyone who is chosen to give a " Valedictorian " speech.
@@briendoyle3823 What she would have said in her speech is irrelevant. Anyone who is chosen as valedictorian is carefully vetted. It appears USC's initial vetting in this instance was not thorough. When someone literally advocates for the "abolishment" of the Jewish state that is a genocidal statement and position. Therefore, the character of someone holding such views is not the character that is desired for the honor of being chosen as valedictorian. And whose position on the podium as valedictorian of the ENTIRE graduating class would be extremely offensive and traumatizing to those students and parents whose nation they are demanding be "abolished". That position is the same as that of the t*r tori$ts who are at war with an ally of the United States. A group declared to be t*r rori$ts by the United States government. This is an American university. A private institution that has the right to decide the person they feel is most suited to be valedictorian. A student who is a positive example to all students by virtue of their achievements. A well-rounded person. This person's academic achievements are negated by the vile nature of some of her views.
ZIONIST! Stop saying Jewish!!! 😡 Zionists don’t speak for us. I’m really getting sick of this.
If colleges are this close minded and insular, it's not a good sign for the future. Sad.
Well guess what, they just made her go viral. She's won no matter what!!!!
they learn from Harvard they don't wanna get fired lol
Eating your own young. Not funny when it happens to you but youll censor others
