This.... it's taking education to a dark place.
It's not ideology here, it's behavior. The administration is saying protests which cross into intimidation and hate speech are not going to be tolerated. If colleges permit it, whether from inattentiveness or through a mistaken belief that free speech considerations require it, or if due to institutional sympathy for the message being propagated, the federal government will not provide financial support to the platform the colleges are providing.
Universities are not free-for-all, anything-goes zones. They exist for a purpose, and that purpose is not to be a forum for the promotion of political positions through violence and intimidation towards anyone.
These actions reek of DEI, ironically.
The endless drama from those with personal investment in that part of the world is long past tiresome at this point.
Either emigrate there or STFU about the U.S. having any obligation to participate in this dysfunction.

Why don’t you repay the US for all the aid you Israeli have taken from us?

Education is already at a dark place. It is an ideological monolith, and education administrators are uninterested in rigorous education, free speech and true challenging debate, or protecting students from violence.
Until educators decide to focus on education foremost, I do not see why they should get millions of taxpayer dollars. I have no interest in paying for the nonsense that is funded now — and I’m a Democrat! I can only imagine how Republicans feel.

We must expose the people behind these attacks on US citizens. Israeli agents have to be arrested and deported.
To the same extent as Palestinian propagandists and apologists, of course.
Right. Trump has decided that Hamas agents get to go first.

He also bears an incredible grudge against NYC elites. Expect the federal attack on NYC institutions to continue apace as trump attempts to vent his spleen.
Who is more NYC elite than the man with many NYC buildings with his own name on them?!?
The rest of the elites still fear not like him. He’s that little s$&t in the playground who no one wants to play with even though he lives in a mansion.

This. Completely. The people on here claiming the protests are peaceful either haven't seen the videos or are outright lying. Are there peaceful protestors? Probably. That is not the same thing as saying these protests have remained peaceful.

Doesn’t seem very peaceful when you need riot police to clear out the protesters. Blocking access to building, people from class.
That’s not peaceful, that’s obstruction.

While he was entering his residential building on the campus of Columbia yesterday, Mahmoud Khalil was detained by DHS and is being held in an ICE facility.
DHS agents told Khalil that the U.S. Department of State had revoked his student visa. The group said this was “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.”
Khalil’s wife was unlocking the door to the building when “two plainclothes DHS agents forced their way in behind them.” They initially refused to identify themselves, she reported, but then threatened Khalil’s wife that if she remained with him, she would be detained too.
First, he is a green card holder.
Second, it is ridiculous that DHS plainclothes agents can force their way into a residential building after somebody has entered.
There are rules for entering dorms and DHS should adhere to those rules, and I say that as a former RA at Virginia Tech who knew Ryan Clark.
