Student protests are threatening to cancel some college commencement ceremonies across the U.S. as the Israel-Hamas war continues to divide college campuses. The University of Southern California announced Friday it would scrap all outside speakers during this year's commencement ceremony, just days after the school canceled a Muslim student's valedictorian speech following a series of social media posts she made about Israel.
'A lot of our milestones have had some big, looming global atrocity over us,' Emerson College senior Sophia Pargas told the New York Times. ''It's almost like we've been conditioned for it at this point.' Maideh Orangi also responded to the cancellation controversy at USC. 'The one glimmer of hope, the one bright side that I was looking forward to in all of this was that one commencement, and now it's just all gone,' she told The Times.
