The Iowa Democratic Party called for the resignations Wednesday of several University of Iowa Democratic student leaders after they signed a letter expressing support for Palestinians that included "problematic anti-semitic slogans."
According to The Daily Iowan, the independent student newspaper of the University of Iowa, the letter was signed by University Democrats Vice President Kiana Shevling-Major, Secretary Olivia Martin, and Treasurer Matthew Charles. According to Shevling-Major, the statement created intense backlash from social media users, as well as a request to retract it by the Johnson County Democrats and multiple Iowa state representatives.
Elsewhere in the Hawkeye State, the Iowa State University College Democrats notified the Iowa Democratic Party on Thursday of the group's decision to disaffiliate with the state party. The decision was "driven by several factors, one of which is the way the IDP has treated the University of Iowa Democrats."
