[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone see the video of the yoga students surrounding two employees at the desk of a Core Power yoga studio in Minneapolis and berating them for taking down an anti-ICE sign because management hadn't approved it? They filmed it and put it online. Core Power says it has banned everyone involved from taking classes there. Crazy.[/quote]

What is the issue?  If the sign wasn’t approved by the management of a private business, why is this a problem?  The bigger problem is the students confronting the employees, which may be a violation of their membership contracts. [/quote]

I'm the OP. ICE is acting awful, but I have a problem with this bunch ganging up on a private employer like this and then filming it for the world's consumption. Private yoga companies are under no obligation to take a stand, and the demands to do so are nauseating. Ann Bauer wrote about this in The Free Press.[/quote]
I read her article about it in the Free Press too.

Typical nasty white liberal behavior [/quote] So true.

This also reminded me of a post from a couple days ago - https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1313202.page

This is why people don't discuss politics among friends anymore. Because we all have friends/acquaintances who are are just like those Yoga protestors and how can you have a conversation with them?[/quote]

Imagine trying to have a rational discussion with the ahole who was yelling at them and not allowing them to even respond.  Nope.  I wish the two employees hadn't tried so hard to be polite and had just made them all leave.  It's a private company, not a public space and they are not there to do the bidding of these snapping morons.[/quote]
