Show Notes
This week we took a look at some breaking news from National Art School, Sydney's premier private art school.
After interfering with a small student bake sale for Palestine, the management of the school held a meeting with dozens of students who wanted to know why the bake sale was shut down; whether future student activism would be dealt with in the same way; and would NAS leadership commit to stand one side of the Israel-Palestine issue?
