[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lesson here is that non-citizens express their politics at their own risk. They have no absolute rights to say whatever they want, and the government has the absolute right to revoke permission for them to be here.  That conduct presently unacceptable to the government has been tolerated in the past has no bearing on whether it can, should, or will be tolerated in the future.

Turkish and Chinese students can go home and say whatever they want to about U.S. or their own country's foreign policies.  Their home governments may or may not tolerate them doing so.  I suspect they'd be much more circumspect at home than they have been here.   [/quote]

It's disgusting that you're trying to justify this. Everyone has absolute rights. That's what this country was founded on. [/quote]

We have the right to free speech in the US. You don’t have the right to be free of the consequences. Supporting a terrorist group who not only wants to obliterate Israel but all Jews, is aligned with Iran, which hates the US and is also dedicated to our destruction, and supporting protests that quite literally included the harassment of Jewish students and chants to globalize the intifada, etc, etc isn’t harmless. If I went to Turkey and participated in and supported groups that were anti-Turkish / involved with harassing members of school communities there, I would expect consequences. [/quote]
