Temple University has said it will not take action against media studies professor Marc Lamont Hill, who was recently fired from CNN after he gave a speech in support of Palestinian rights at the U.N. In his speech, Lamont Hill used the phrase “free Palestine from the river to the sea,” which conservatives and pro-Israel groups say is used by Hamas and other anti-Israeli government groups. Temple University said that Lamont Hill’s speech was protected by the First Amendment.
