Exploring Hate: Colleges Struggle With Their Response To The Israeli-Hamas War
In just the latest incident of antisemitism on a college campus, a 21-year-old Cornell student was arrested this week for allegedly threatening to kill Jewish classmates. Governor Kathy Hochul has directed State Police to increase security at colleges and universities across New York, but many Jewish students still feel their schools are not doing enough to protect them. Since the Israel-Hamas war began there have been many reports on college campuses here in New York, and across the country, of violent threats, intimidation tactics, public doxing, and even assaults. Student supporters of both Israel and Palestine have expressed fear for their safety in recent weeks. Melissa Korn, reporter for The Wall Street Journal, joins us with the latest on the story.
HBO's "The Stroll" Looks Back At The Legacy of Transgender Sex Workers in NYC
For decades it was known simply as “The Stroll,” a stretch of West 14th Street in Manhattan's Meatpacking District where transgender sex workers set up shop. For the trans women and nonbinary New Yorkers who worked there though, this was about more than business. It was a community of people with few other places to turn for support. In the face of violence and harassment, both from potential customers and the police, they banded together and helped pave the way for today’s new era of visibility. HBO’s “The Stroll” is now telling their story and joining us tonight to discuss the film are directors Kristen Lovell, who once worked The Stroll herself, and Zackary Drucker.
