This reminds me of the 1960's Ohio state University .
Universities across the United States, often far-left in their own politics, nonetheless are having to take drastic measures because of anti-Israel rioters who have taken over parts of their campuses, even their buildings, damaging and even destroying facilities.
They've had to threaten to expel, and even have expelled some of those who have most flagrantly broken laws amid their political campaigns against Israel, which largely were prompted by that democracy's decision to send its military to wipe out the terror threat from Hamas terrorists in nearby Gaza.
That decision came from the terrorists' attack on innocent Israeli civilians last Oct. 7, in which some 1,200 were butchered, often in horrific fashion.
Now there's an answer from the extremists in Iran to those expelled students: an offer for free tuition at a university there.
First it was Mohammad Mozni, head of Iran's Shiraz University, who said American students, even faculty, removed from their schools over their support for terrorism could continue their studies at his school.
Then another Iranian school joined the campaign.
Seyed Mahmoud Aghamiri, the dean of Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, said his school would "accept students who have been expelled from European and American universities for protesting against the actions of the Zionists."
"We have considered scholarship for these students and we fully cover the cost of education, dormitory and accommodation," he claimed.
Rioters in the U.S. have faced expulsion – and hundreds so far have been arrested – for rioting in opposition to Israel.
So far, at least 30 major universities campuses have been torn apart with the riots, to the point some factions are demanding a cancelation of end-of-term exams because of the violent disruptions.
Campuses in Australia, Canada, France, Italy and the United Kingdom also have been disrupted.
So one constitutional expert in the United States, Jonathan Turley, who has testified before Congress multiple times as an expert on legal issues, and even has represented members in court, suggested students who are expelled should go for it.
"Now this could truly be educational. Students protesting on our campuses have been offered free scholarships at Shiraz University in Fars. So, while Northwestern has reached a settlement with protesters to give scholarships to Palestinian students and positions to Palestinian faculty, U.S. protesters can now go to Iran for their education."
He suggested, "This could be the single most transformative educational experience of their lives. Of course, Iran is better known for floggings than free speech.
"Iran is particularly prone to such contradictions like executing homosexuals while denying that there are any homosexuals in Iran or objecting to the treatment of protesters in the West while jailing, beating and killing protesters."
And he noted that vegan meals are not available at protests in Iran, where the government instead ordered the "arrest and killing of writers and artists while holding such fun events as a cartoon competition on the Holocaust."
Then there are that nation's "judicially ordered blindings."
"Where else can you go where a criminal defendant was ordered to be executed by being tied into a burlap bag and thrown down a cliff with sharp rocks?"
And he pointed out, "The good thing is that U.S. students are already covering up their faces. Iranian women have faced arrest for being photographed without hijabs."
He explained, "Just a year studying abroad in Iran is worth a lifetime of education. So Iranian universities are making the ultimate pitch to come for the free education and stay for the free amputations."
A commentary at the Gateway Pundit noted, "We should hope that at least some of these students take them up on the offer."
