To the Editor:

Re “3 University Presidents Criticized for Remarks on Antisemitism” (news
article, Dec. 7):

The presidents of Harvard, Penn and M.I.T. all failed in their congressional
testimony to state unequivocally that calling for the genocide of Jews would
violate their campus policies, instead stating limply that it would depend on
the “context.” Several legal scholars seem to agree that “context” is part of
the balancing act for free speech.

As an American Jew holding two degrees from Harvard (one from Harvard Law
School), I disagree vehemently that “context” matters. The clear exception to
“free speech” has always been falsely calling “Fire!” in a crowded theater, for
its propensity to result in harm to a panicked audience.
