To the editor: My son dreamed of going to UCLA since he first visited the campus at age 11. You know, Dad born there, Mom worked there, Grandpa was on the medical school faculty there — Bruin blood. In high school he ignored counseling and applied only to one school — UCLA. He graduated in 2020. Next month, he'll earn his master's degree.
But Israel's response, starving 1 million people and killing more than 30,000, most of whom are women and children, is bad. Shame on UCLA. Tal Ross, Oak Park .. To the editor: I am a UCLA alumna who attended during the era of Vietnam War protests. Encampments were not allowed, but there were plenty of noisy marches and free speech prevailed. The mistake UCLA administrators made was allowing the establishment of encampments in the first place.
