Elitist parents are encouraging their kids to join the nonsense.

My guess is that someone asked ChatGPT how to stage a sit-in.

Their approving, supportive parents parented them to be this way.

Funny how those stocks are likely funding their fun times in college.

The only ‘vote’ that will matter to Brown is what the donors want. Which I predict will be at odds with the Palestinian cause.

You must not be reading the headlines of the NYTimes.


Or the NYPD themselves

Not the ones invested in a military of another country.

True.

Most of the people involved and being arrested, are not even students, but don't let that stop the narrative the right wants to project.


Of course they are. There may be a few outside instigators, but the vast majority of protesters are indeed students.

Don’t forget the Starbuck’s. These kids deserve their morning lattes after a rough night of occupation. They’re accomplishing so little so why not a little caffeine to pick up their spirits.


You revealed how little you know about the ethos of the protestors. Whatever food they’d like delivered, they do not want Starbucks.

But what really bothers you is that the students, who are typically in the vanguard of political and cultural movements, have in large numbers made clear their repudiation of Israel, not whether some protestors may come from privileged backgrounds.

I can certainly believe they think they're too good for Starbucks. They are not an impressive group; rather, they have shown themselves as a group so arrogant, self-entitled, and privileged that they have no problem interfering with the education and graduation of their classmates, whining when they don't get their own way, and expecting others to bring them water and food after they've taken over a college building and part of the campus. Can only imagine the mess they'll leave behind for working class people like the custodians. They should be suspended and/or expelled, some with a police record that will follow them.

Because the administration has catered to these imbeciles for long enough that it has now become the norm on campus. The inmates truly are running the asylum - and the admin has only themselves to blame for what they’ve fostered.

These are college protests. They are a thing that happen. I was visiting my DD this past weekend on a college campus (not Columbia). We saw the encampment on her campus. We walked around it. It just wasn’t that big a deal. I get why when students take over buildings, you have to take a stand and remove them. But how the heck did it get to this stage unless the administration was colossally stupid. But generally? Let them protest. Establish clear rules on what is unacceptable and then follow through. This vitriol against students on this thread is upsetting.

This. 💯

Brown has the highest % of Jewish student on any Ivy League.

Well, clearly this wasn’t Columbia now, was it?
