Scholarship table
Huh.
well, if you are paying attention Sally, there is a group of UCLA professors and teachers(whatever) up in the balconies with signs saying they support the students(their political "off spring") and the protesters actionsin other words, they are giving out "A+'s" and don't have to take their finals as they hopefully won't be able to now, but remember this is hamas-west
https://x.com/elicalebon/status/1785560131100618798I can't believe I have to explain what's happening here, but here goes. Elite students of Ivy League schools have glamorized oppression so much that they have now reached role play status to satisfy their fantasies. Here, the students have appropriated the suffering of Gazans and are cosplaying as living through humanitarian crisis. In their American make-believe story where Ivy League infrastructure sets the scene, the students play Gazans and the school administration plays Israel.Israel (the school) is blocking their "basic humanitarian aid" in this play, and if they don't receive it soon, they will "die of thirst and starvation" (appropriating exact experiences of Gazans). They also destroy upper class buildings and claim them as "liberated" while the students repeat chants in zombie-like chorus, playing the roll of "freedom fighters" destroying Israeli infrastructure and claiming them freed. If I'm alive in a world where people don't see the levels of perversion in this, I give up. You don't see this in lower tier schools from kids of lower socio-economic standing because they aren't plagued with the guilt of privilege that they're seeking to launder through Middle East role plays of feigned suffering. This is as first world dystopia as it gets. Meanwhile, these Ivy League students who can have much more than a glass of water and as much food as their stomachs can take are commanding the attention of the media and the entire American audience, while actual Gazans who need humanitarian aid are ignored. I still have to pinch myself that people don't see this.
Do you mean like the violent protests at UCLA this morning?--PROTESTORS USING BEAR SPRAY AND PEPPER SPRAY ON LAPD AND CA STATE POLICEIt has been reported that Pro-Palestine Protestors are actually using chemical sprays (Pepper and Bear) to hold off the police.Bear spray is incredibly stinging, and breathing into the chest is very painful.In response, LAPD is using Tear Gas and Flash Bangs to push back the protestors.Source: Fox, BBChttps://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/1785990302911561951-------------And this police crackdown is coming days after they were given free rein to beat Jewish students on campus.--A young Jewish woman was beaten unconscious by a group of pro H@m@s students at the UCLA campus.https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6Z44KRtDRA/
You guys do realize these protests at Columbia, UCLA, etc., involve well below 1% of the student population, yes?Your efforts to paint this as an indictment of "elite universities" or the entire educational system shows how sadly desperate you are to believe and advance a narrative that doesn't exist. The reality is 99+% of the students and faculty at these schools are going about their lives mostly as normal. The protesters are no more a typical Columbia student than Tyler Kolek is a typical Marquette student.
I hope that you would feel similarly about those who committed violent acts on 1/6 and those who mislead them along the way.
Yes, so crush them like Charlottesville. Why the moral ambiguity?
Arrest those who attack police and cause damage and destruction to property.
All of this is merely practice for the main event ...I am glad to see the Democrat Party, the party of the people, will need 7,500 soldiers again on the streets of Chicago to protect them from their constituents.----Growing campus unrest sparks Democratic fears over Chicago conventionhttps://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4624805-growing-campus-unrest-sparks-democratic-fears-over-chicago-convention/Protest organizers expect as many as 30,000 people to show up in Chicago to demonstrate against Israel’s military action in Gaza, almost triple the number of protesters who gathered in Grant Park in August 1968.Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Chicago will be prepared for the protests, but that’s not much comfort to Democrats who remember Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley vowing to keep the peace by deploying 12,000 police, 5,000 National Guardsmen and 7,500 regular army troops.
Some try to make the solution more difficult than it should be. I would also add arrest those that are using "fighting words" to incite violence, if those individuals were told to stop and refused.
Could you cite some examples of the "fighting words" being spoken that quality for prosecution?
We had a very interesting meeting yesterday with our college attorney about the guidelines around protests of any sort. (There are zero protests here so this was more a thought exercise at this point.)Keep in mind that at a private school, we don't have to allow anything. But being an educational institution, allowing protests and demonstrations can be part of the learning process. However there is a line between saying things like "Get out of Gaza" and "From the River to the Sea."And also, while students should not be threatened or harassed, students feeling "uncomfortable" about a protest isn't necessarily a problem. Dealing with opinions different than your own is part of the educational process. You can't become resilient by living in a bubble.
Will you apply these standards if the protestors are wearing white hoods and carrying Confederate flags?
In the center of the University of Alabama are pro-Hamas protestors waving Palestinian flags. To their credit, they are harassing no one and staying in their proscribed plaza area.On the other side of the plaza are pro-American/pro-Isereali supporters, waving American and Israeli flags. To their credit, they are harassing no one and staying in their proscribed plaza area.In between are the police, and again, it is all peaceful.Maybe that is because they have found common ground. Hopefully, they can continue to coalescence around this idea, and we can move forward as a country,----Both sides now chanting “F***” Joe Biden”https://twitter.com/MavenNavarro1/status/1785785576571994299
How was Charlottesville crushed, exactly?Last I checked, the occupant of the White House hasn't called the Columbia protestors very fine people.
BOTUS has lockjaw, aina?#"fourmoreyears...pause"
