I was just surprised to see this video, the 22 dislikes vs 0 likes, & the 3 comments asking about why my video isn't among them.

My answer is simply:

LAU asked me to censor my campaign. I refused to submit to this attack on my freedom of speech. My video was excluded. https://twitter.com/Tarboushing/status/1313524077970292736
What did LAU's administration ask me to omit?

Three different things.

1) The word "independent". Although, supposedly, we should all be independent 🙈 But the truth is, I'm the only independent candidate & if I say that publicly, I would expose the fact that LAU is filled with
politics.

2) I brought up sexual harassment on campus, which is often perpetrated by LAU professors & faculty. I said that it is unacceptable how many female students avoid taking classes with certain professors because they have made their friends uncomfortable.
I urged my fellow female students to speak up & not to be afraid of coming forward, no status, professor or not, should intimidate them, & i said "I will bring this campus to its knees to get you the justice & safety you deserve".

LAU didn't like me unveiling the series of
Accusations that followed not one, but several, LAU professors last year.

I know LAU takes the safety of its students seriously. I know because I have seen this firsthand. But why hide behind a finger? Problems are not solved unless we admit to having them.
3) I was additionally asked to omit the parts of my video in which I addressed the illegal distribution of previouses as bribes (which I have explained several times now, should be legal & accessible to reduce the CORRUPT power of all political parties on campus) along with the
Political problems influencing our university.

LAU wants to hide behind a blanket of perfection, which I may now call denial, in order to keep the perfect appearances of the perfect university to the outside.
I digged into a world that I never thought existed in LAU — to my disappointment.

After careful consideration, I realized that I would end up removing more from my speech than I would be keeping in it, & I simply refuse to submit to this violation of my freedom of speech
By an institution that has long prided itself for the freedom that it gives us, students, faculty, & staff.

I decided that I would much rather have no speech at all, than a censored speech.
Has LAU turned into yet another land of censorship in this country?
