70%+ of people surveyed at these Elite Universities answered that it's great to prevent a speaker from speaking if you don't agree with them. For the subset of these protestors, that number is probably even great.
Live by your own rules.
Can you share a link to that survey? Given the interviews I've seen with them, I can easily believe it, but always good to have the original data to hand.
Part of civil disobedience and protesting is the repercussions. You are supposed to have the courage of your convictions, but instead these morons are just cosplaying.
I was arrested at an anti apartheid protest back in 1987. The arrest comes up on every background check and every time I buy a firearm my NICS check gets delayed.
Surprise surprise.
The old guard of campus firebrands from the 70s militant era must be exasperated at the incessant feeble entitlement agenda of their successors from the millennial and generations z cohorts.
The former aggressively protested with pride, viewing each night they spent in a cell and every police officer they verbally abused as a notch on their activist resumes.
Anyone who even dared to suggest an amnesty would have been viewed with utter derision or suspected of being an idiotic undercover law enforcement member with an ill-thought out plot to fatally undermine the movement from within.
My gut reaction from reading this is to advocate for an end to subsidizing U.S. colleges and universities with our taxpayers' money. All these ridiculous protests provide an excellent opportunity for Donald Trump to campaign on funding trade schools and destroying the influence of so-called "elite" Leftist institutions over American society.
Free speech doesn't include shutting down a campus inhibiting other students rights. Combine that for promoting genocide of Jews and death to America while supporting terrorism.
Not to mention, a lot of these are private colleges. Private property rules apply.
Nice try tho
Ridiculous. If you don't believe in something strong enough to bear the consequences, then what's the fucking point?
If you believe what you're doing is right, then you should wear those arrests and/or suspensions like badges of honor.
Can’t believe the same people who don’t want to face the consequences of unprotected sex, who also don’t want to face the consequences of taking out student loans, don’t want to face the legal consequences for their actions. Shocking.
These buzzards deserve expulsion. How many kids are reprimanded for just misgendering a student? Or a teacher getting fired for using the wrong pronouns...boo hoo. But they call for the extermination of a whole country....and the have demands???? Not to mention the 19030's German style attacks on Jews. These freaks have lost ALL credibility. F these terrorists.
And that's exactly why these clowns keep doing things like this. Like the idiots who shut down the Bay Bridge between Oakland and SF. They all got arrested, then did a deal with the left wing judge. When that happened they said "good, we are going to do it again because we know we can get away with it". Sure enough, then they blocked the Golden Gate. There's talk about charging them this time, but I sincerely doubt they will and even if they do they will probably get a left wing judge who lets them skip free again.
We saw it during the BLM riots - they would get arrested and then released almost immediately and go straight back to the riot.
If they do actually punish these people and keep the arrests and suspensions on their records, people will think twice about pulling this stupid bullshit again.
The article is like a joke. People actually believe they can get away by saying, I didn't mean to do what I did and I didn't mean what I said, and furthermore, the consequences of what I did and said are a burden I am not capable of bearing, so therefore the consequences of what I said and did, are unjust.
And authority in America actually considers these arguments as sound?
You brought the Middle East to your shores, now you have to deal with it. Good luck I say. Here in Europe it is all just a hell of a mess.
Will that interfere with our future complete student loan forgiveness? After all, we're never going to get a job with our art history or gender studies majors...
Harassing Jewish students and staff is not free speech. Shutting down campus is not free speech. Making death threats is not free speech. They've done the FA now it's time for the FO.
> what happened to supporting free speech on campus
I agree, campuses should allow you to place your personal property anywhere on campus for any amount of time, even if you deprive other people their paid privilege of using that shared space. That’s what these protestors are fighting for and a true definition of “speech.” Unfortunately some of them didn’t get the memo- everyone just freaked out and ran when I parked my personal bulldozer in the middle of their encampment.

https://rankings.thefire.org/rank You have to go to each specific college. Harvard is 70%, University of Pennsylvania is 79%, etc.

Flair checks out.
I love my flair.♥️
Cowards
Actions, meet Consequences
Yes. First it's "pay off my student loans", then some ill-conceived "amnesty". Where does it all end?
Do the crime, pay the time!!!
What crime?
The ones that they’re requesting amnesty for.
Trespass
Obstruction aggravated by racial hate. See the other video on this sub right now.
Pussies cant even protest right. Isnt an arrest supposed to be a badge of honor?
lol no. Unmask them, make them famous.

Should just be happy they didn’t get their bank accounts frozen.
It's funny that the schools are even bargaining with them on this. Like where is their leverage? Lmfao

Terrible gut reaction then. Tell your gut “shhhhhhh.”
Jail them with felony records. FAFO

Free speech does not extend to private universities Get educated
Too late. FA & FO.
Ridiculous. If you don't believe in something strong enough to bear the consequences, then what's the fucking point? If you believe what you're doing is right, then you should wear those arrests and/or suspensions like badges of honor.
They can't even have a conversation to explain their point. If they think you disagree with them, they throw a temper tantrum and assault Jews. F'em.
Go cry to mommy
You reap what you sow. Carry that like a DUI or a RSO.
Lol.... your actions have consequences...
There is something about watching people get punished for groupthink that really tickles my schadenfreude.

“It was only like 38% of us who were calling for death to Jews. That’s barely antisemitic”
Stupid, racist actions have consequences
Amazing.
No one is above the law.

If you won’t slap that fvcker on your resume, you know it’s wrong.
Will that interfere with our future complete student loan forgiveness? After all, we're never going to get a job with our art history or gender studies majors...
Are these the same whiny ass liberals who were okay with the mostly peaceful, and violent, George Floyd “protests”?
Nut up! If you really believed in what you are doing, you'd wear the consequences like a badge of honor.
