Proud of my university!

This is a guy who spent his formative years being shoved into lockers by the chess team and AV club we are talking about

 

Meanwhile in CH:

 

… just peaceful students

 

That’s some bullshit right there.
Wow.

 

I wonder what would happen if some protestors raised the American flag at a university in Gaza? Assuming they have a university in Gaza. I've never been.

 

They do. They are a pile of rubble now as Israel has bombed them all.

 

Goodie.

 

Sure there is, lots of room out at Paynes Prairie. They could fit a thousand people there.

 

You think you are clever, but you are actually underscoring my point

 

I actually don't have a problem with the protesting. It's part of the college experience so to speak. Just so long as the don't stop others from getting to class or disrupting other students who are there trying to learn.
Having said that, the irony in all of this is that the protesters are expecting the liberal leaning administrations of liberal leaning universities, to divest their endowments of ties to Israel. Not gonna happen. Liberal elites at universities like money as much as (insert conservative organization here).
Which leaves them with a voting choice, Trump, who will definitely support Israel, or Biden, who will also support Israel but give lip service to the opposite.

Better the devil you know?

 

Except it has happened

Brown University agrees to hold Israel divestment vote after pressure from student protesters

 

The irony of the student protesters (because there are outside professionals controlling the protests) is that the protestors, who support such admirable goals of gay rights, and freedom, are protesting in favor of a group of fanatics who would put gays to stone. They have no concept that Israel protects such things as gay rights. They have no idea that Arabs can and do serve in the Israeli government, judiciary, and the military. Arab-Israelis attend Israeli schools and receive medical care exactly like Israeli Jews, and likewise have the absolute right to worship freely. Good luck finding similar freedoms in the Sharia countries.

 

Brown, which has a huge Jewish alumni base, certainly caved to the protesters in the moment. They will be allowed to make a pitch to the Brown financial board to divest. We’ll see if the vote, in September, carries to divest from Israel. If that vote passes, watch the Brown endowment fund quickly evaporate.

 

I doubt the vote goes their way, but we will see.

 

Why haven't other schools made this offer? Why would you choose cops over letting students make a pitch to the governing board?

 

You can look at it that way. Or you could look at it that unlike some schools that want to attack their students and make ridiculous claims about safety, they dispersed them without violence by committing to nothing other than a vote, which isnt guaranteed to succeed. I think Northwestern offered even less of a commitment and was similarly successful. This also shows the students arent fanatically stubborn or strident and will be satisfied with small concessions.

 

Because schools with dignity don’t cave to terrorists (why would you ask the same question put yesterday, to get the same answer that you found distasteful yesterday?)

 

Wow, you've really lost the plot if that's what you think they are. We wont even get into dignity being equated to unleashing depraved state violence on young adults to avoid a discussion.
