As the issue \u200dof hate speech continues to be a\u200c concern on\u200b college campuses\u2064 and in society as a whole, it is\u200d important \u2062for leaders like Christie to speak out and advocate for change.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, \u2063Christie&#8217;s\u200c call for the rejection of hate speech against Jewish people on college campuses\u200b is a \u200dcall\u2063 for unity, understanding,\u2063 and\u200b respect.
