Sounds like the situation at UNC is out of control. Ugh - all the poor students who are studying for finals or preparing for their (first since they missed out in high school due to covid) graduation.

“This is not complicated: The University of Florida is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children - they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they’ll face the consequences,” said university spokesman, Steve Orlando.

Good for them.

+1 excellent

I don't love that it's from Fox news but no way in hell that's a college student. A-hole paid protestors doing nothing but stirring up division.

At what point do these college students need to take some responsibility for the divisive people protesting alongside them?

On both the right and the left, this is a problem. And both sides are afraid to call out their more extreme members and prefer to just pretend that they aren't responsible.

The problem is that both sides are treated so differently (in particular by the media) on this issue.

Yes- Jan 6th rioters were treated like criminals and these protesters - calling for violence and intifada - are being treated with kid gloves likened to civil rights activists.

It’s truly mind-boggling to see the difference in treatment. These protesters are animals and should be treated as such. Masked rioters, breaking windows and barricading themselves inside buildings? Where’s the SWAT team?

And these thugs shouldn’t just be “suspended,” they should be expelled. With an arrest record.

Zero Jan 6 insurrectionists were arrested on Jan 6. They beat up police, destroyed the capitol, etc and were all allowed to just go home. On the other hand, lots of these students are getting arrested. So yes, there’s a big difference in treatment.

More than 450 of the January 6th protesters have gone to jail. Hopefully the same fate will befall the pro-Hamas students running riot at Columbia.

+1
And any financial aid they might be receiving should be rescinded and used to fix all the damage they’ve inflicted.

+1 yes

People have rights you moron. You don't get to just ship off people who say and do things you don't like. That's the freedom you idiots never stop bleeting about. It cuts both ways.

DT.

FTR, it's not at all clear legally whether/when the US government can deport noncitizens for their speech.

See Reno vs. AAADC, Kleindienst, Galvan, etc.

So it's entirely possible that the government could seek to deport noncitizen students who participate in protests.

Judiciary just spoke out on this issue. If a student is on visa and it’s determined he’s engaging in supporting terrorism (Hamas is recognized as terror organization), then he can be immediately deported.

The College Democrats of America, which is officially part of the Democratic national committee and has 100,000 members in college democrat chapters across the country, has released a statement in support of student protesters for having “the moral clarity to see this war for what it is: destructive, genocidal and unjust,”

They also criticized Biden's policy in regards to the war and called for a permanent ceasefire.

The statement was put out by the executive board by a vote of 8-2.

They are guests in our country on student visas. They are committing crimes. Foreigners who commit crimes should be deported. That is how law and order works. If I break into buildings in Japan they’ll deport me, as they should. Besides, we have enough of our own problems without importing more.

How does someone as dumb as you function?

Especially those who are engaging in violence and destruction of property. There should be an immediate revocation of their visas.

Well, of course they would excuse Hamas-sympathizers. They are the “College Democrats of America,” after all.
