[quote=Anonymous]I can’t answer the question directly but have had quite a few friends kids go to St John’s and none have been pleased w the academics.  Several have pulled kids out mid stream wondering why anyone would pay for an education on par with the neighborhood public.

I also agree w a prior poster.  Much of what has happened at Columbia U was not merely free speech.  It was trespassing, vandalism and sloganeering like “globalize the intifada” or “intifada revolution”  which literally means violence against the Jews.   Imagine having a Jewish student there and having to hear that hate speech all day and night (encampments on main quad/ in buildings with constant drum circles).

Israel had to respond to the barbarism of 10/07, just as we responded forcefully to 09/11.   Do I wish it were different in both cases - for sure.

Should college kids be protesting? Yes, BUT not with sloganeering that is filled with the hateful rhetoric (and trespassing and vandalizing) that these kids “supposedly” are protesting.  The behavior and sloganeering is terrorizing to the Jewish kids and it is also just really stupid.  If the goal is to stop the war, then it is also not working.  But if the goal is to inject more hate into an already broken world, well, I would say those kids are winning. 
That war has to end.
