Maryland, My Maryland

Well, they did it. At Campus Reform, Resolution condemning U.S.-Israeli intervention in Iran passes Maryland student gov. vote

Student government legislators at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) have passed a resolution declaring that they stand in solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Members of the Student Government Association (SGA) are elected leaders who represent a given university’s student body.

The move follows President Donald Trump’s strikes on the repressive regime of the Ayatollah Khamenei. Codenamed “Operation Epic Fury,” the United States launched a series of coordinated attacks with the State of Israel on military installations in Iran, leading to the death of Khamenei himself on Feb. 28.

In response, the UMCP student government introduced a resolution condemning both the United States and Israel for these decisive actions. The resolution was sponsored by Zyad Khan and cosponsored by Saad Ijaz, Mohammed Abukhdeir, and Hasan Islam—all students at the university and SGA leaders.

SGA legislators voted to pass the resolution Wednesday evening. According to UMCP campus newspaper The Diamondback, the resolution’s final vote to pass was nearly unanimous: 19-0-1.

In addition to condemning international military action in Iran, student legislators also retroactively sided with Venezuelan drug lord Nicolás Maduro and blasted the U.S. for its decision to carry out an arrest warrant and apprehend the criminal.

Donald Trump should immediately order all federal aid to College Park suspended. I would stop my contributions, if I could.
