CUNY prof sounds alarm on ‘far-left lunatics’ running school after commencement speech

A veteran CUNY law professor has blamed the “blatant call for American insurrection” in this year’s graduate commencement speech on the school being run by a bunch of “far left, Marxist lunatics.”

Professor Jeffrey Lax, a full-time CUNY professor for 20 years, told Fox News that Fatima Mousa Mohammed’s anti-Israel call for revolution was “the most disturbing commencement speech I have ever heard in my entire life.”

But “the problem is not her,” he insisted of the radical Queens grad who called the NYPD “fascist” and accused Israel of indiscriminately murdering Palestinians.

“Students are allowed to be idiots — you’re supposed to be an idiot when you’re a student,” he said.

“The problem is that you have faculty condoning, OK’ing and pushing this forward,” he said of staff who applauded from the stage.

Lax, the co-founder of Students and Faculty for Equality at CUNY, said commencement speeches are always reviewed beforehand, which an insider previously confirmed to The Post was the case this year.
