Protests on college campuses

Maybe they should have spent more time studying instead of protesting.

What a bunch of absolute babies. Get ready for the real world. Sh#t happens and you still need to go to work and perform the next day. Hopefully these students are nowhere near leadership roles of the future.

I knew it. Anyone who has been in or around protest movements and left social circles knows that the valorization of antifa tactics is real, and there is a hard core of them whose goal is literally anarchy. I actually feel really sad that they disrupted what should have been a peaceful protest that could have had impact. I FULLY blame the adults who over the past 10 years created this atmosphere where “punch a nazi” was considered actual political philosophy.

The students should have removed themselves from the situation if they did not want to be associated with trouble makers.
They are adults. They should know better.

Tough issue for sure for Biden. But these students are in the right on so many levels and I am proud of them for being on the right side of history. What’s happening with US dollars and support is a moral outrage.

They want all the fun and attention of protesting without any of the consequences. The people who participated in sit-ins and marches in the 50s and 60s fully expected to be arrested and indeed were arrested without much resistance. But you had the bad optics of police using water cannons and attack dogs on non-violent marchers, which helped gather support for the protestors.

Now these people want meals delivered because they couldn’t plan to bring freaking food and water EVEN WITH OUTSIDE FUNDING AND COORDINATION!, and excused from their exams. And NYT had an article yesterday about how they cover their faces because they’re afraid of losing job offers or being deported if they’re on student visas. Which a lot of them are. Apparently we need to do a better job of investigating our student visa holders …

Unfortunately, not much will happen to these law breakers. There is no deterrence. So, we can expect more of the same.
And, if you think this administration is going to deport anyone here on student visas..... you haven't been paying attention. They will be commended, not deported.

Those breakfasts had better have been gluten-free or there is going to be a lawsuit the likes of which has never been seen!

DP better vs the crazy posters screaming about pro hamas and defending Israel. How in the f did Israel become so powerful in the US that it can have anyone who criticizes it? Israel is a true threat to this country.

Do you fear erosion of essential free speech rights?

What we have been seeing in recent weeks is not free speech. These students who scream "free speech" have been breaking laws and actually preventing others from exercising their rights.

If they were engaging in a peaceful protest or a peaceful protest march and were greeted by armored police with water cannons and attack dogs sure I’d be concerned about erosion of free speech. But that’s not what’s happening here.
