This is stupid beyond belief.
I can see assigning her to stories that have nothing to do with the Middle East, avoiding any possible bias in reporting.
However, being overly passionate about a cause in college is rather one of the things college is for. It's only when bad behavior lasts far into adulthood that it needs a really close look.
You know, like right wing Christians trying to ruin anyone who doesn't conform to their perverted world view.
(and FWIW, I think the Dems were wrong to attack Kavanaugh for his shitty treatment of anything female. They should have inquired how half a million dollars in debt conveniently vanished just before he was nominated)

I'm sure if she had shown a pro-Israel bias the reaction would be just as harsh. nt
