Hey there! 😃 Have you heard what’s happening with some universities in the United States? 🏫
Two big universities, Cornell and Northwestern, are having some of their research money frozen by the government. ❄️💰 This means they can’t use some of the money they were given to do important research, like new science experiments or studies. 🔬🧪
Why is this happening? 🤔 Well, students at these and other universities have been protesting. They are upset about how Israel has been treating people in a place called Gaza. 🗺️ They want to see changes and are speaking out about it. 🗣️
The government, led by President Trump at the time, wasn’t happy about these protests. So, they’re putting a pause on the funding. ⏸️ This affects the universities because research helps us learn new things and make discoveries! 🌟
It’s a big deal because it shows how actions can have consequences, and how important it is to stand up for what you believe in. ✊❤️
