Build the southern border wall, with bricks from the rubble of university buildings.
That's not how it works anymore.Water canons and rubber bullets.
Wonder how many of those are real students.
Protestors should lose any and all scholarships.
I may be wrongI get the need to punish students who break laws, but kicking them out of school, or out of the country, or failing them in their classes, or taking away their scholarships, or any of the other long line of "punishments" that folks think should be implemented to stop students from protesting, feels like a violation of the 1st amendment. As a person who has been visited by the alphabet agencies, and wakes up every day wondering if this is the day that I get hauled off to the gulag for protesting, and has lost opportunities in life because my protesting is offensive to some, I must admit that I do sometimes struggle to see the difference between the left and the right. It seems both sides are fine with protests, as long as what is being protested aligns with their beliefs, and very against protests (to the point of wanting to punish the act) that do not align with their beliefs.
As an American, I believe that anyone should be allowed to protest anything they like, as long as no laws are broken. Call me old fashioned.
Boo Hoo...Ilhan Omar daughter barred from campus housing, dining hall after anti-Israel protest suspension, she says

Rep. Ilhan Omar's, D-Minn., daughter says she has nowhere to go and nothing to eat following her suspension from Barnard College after taking part in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University last week.
Isra Hirsi was among more than 100 people arrested and issued a summons for trespassing on Thursday after protests at Columbia University. Hours earlier, she said she had been suspended from Barnard College for "standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide."
The 21-year-old has gone into more detail about the suspension. Along with not being able to go to classes, she said she has been evicted from campus housing and banned from using the dining hall with her meal plan.
"I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go? And also all of my s--- is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible," she told Teen Vogue. "I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to."

The student said she reached out to campus administration, but did not hear back until 48 hours after her suspension was handed down, when she was told she could pick up a prepackaged bag of food.
Barnard College is one of four Columbia undergraduate schools that has an independent admissions process, curriculum and financial structure, as well as a separate administration, according to the New York Post. The college did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
ARREST OF ILHAN OMAR’S DAUGHTER AT ANTI-ISRAEL PROTEST WAS POLITICAL, FELLOW 'SQUAD' MEMBER SAYS

Dozens of anti-Israel activists began protesting at Columbia University on Wednesday morning, creating an encampment on the main lawn in protest of Israel's war against Hamas. Protests continued into the overnight hours with calls for an intifada and the death of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Omar praised her daughter's participation in the protests. Earlier in the week, she questioned Columbia administrators during a congressional hearing on Capitol Hill about anti-Israel activism on the Ivy League campus.

During the hearing, Omar sounded the alarm about what she called an "attack" with a "toxic chemical substance" at an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University. However, according to court documents, the substance was a non-toxic flatulence spray called "Liquid A--" and "Wet Farts."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Omar's office.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., suggested Hirsi's suspension was a reprisal for her mother's questions.
"The day after @IlhanMN questioned Columbia leadership's commitment to free academic expression, the school suspended her daughter?" Bowman posted online. "It's clear what is happening here. Our educational institutions should not be in the business of political reprisals."

Wjat?! You mean have them grow up and experience real life? The horror.Arrest them, draft them into the military (Foreign Legion branch) and send them overseas to some shit hole country.
That has only worked where the general population has been disarmed. They know it, we know it, it's presently a stalemate.That's not how it works anymore.
The marxists have indoctrinated the colleges. The students reject western culture and ideology in favor of the communist/socialist tripe. They will work to destroy anyone who disagrees with them; their powerful puppeteers will push supporting laws in the houses of congress and on the backs of democrats.
This is the American version of the "cultural revolution" from China.
We are rapidly approaching the decision point but no one wants to take those lessons from history to what their natural end is.
And this isn't a threat--its a promise of what history has told us will come.
In 5 years they will all be dead or we will. Those that are not will be on trains to liquidation centers.
They are mentally preparing for this by degrading and dehumanizing all who isn't in lockstep with them.
Are we preparing as well?
Um. If you're a "legal observer" and you're told to leave, don't you have to leave under penalty of law?An officer pepper-sprayed protesters — and a legal observer directly in the face — during an arrest in at least one instance, according to footage posted online and WSN.

NYPD arrests over 100 protesters at NYU, clears out anti-Israel encampment on campus
Allie Griffin
The NYPD arrested more than 100 protesters at New York University — including students and faculty — on Monday night and cleared out a campus encampment set up earlier by anti-Israel demonstrators.
Cops in riot gear cuffed the protesters – who are demanding NYU divest from holdings tied to Israel over the ongoing violence in Gaza — with zip ties and led them to police buses, the university’s student-run newspaper Washington Square News reported.
NYU faculty members linked arms and stood side-by-side to form a human barrier between a swarm of cops and student protesters, according to a video shared by a City reporter. The professors were the first to be arrested.

Moments earlier, police blasted a message over a megaphone, ordering the group to disperse or face arrest for trespassing, according to the newspaper.
Once the cops moved in, they also tore down tents that students erected Monday morning as part of a “Gaza Solidarity” encampment at the private university’s Gould Plaza on West 4th Street.
Earlier in the day, NYU’s director of Campus Safety informed protesters that they would “face consequences” if they did not leave the encampment by 4 p.m., WSN reported.

The directive came after metal barriers that were set up at Gould Plaza to prevent the protest from growing in size were reportedly breached.
“With the breach of the barricades early this afternoon, that requirement was violated, and we witnessed disorderly, disruptive and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community,” Campus Safety head Fountain Walker said to the crowd at the encampment, according to the college paper. “If you leave now, no one will face any consequences for today’s actions — no discipline, no police.”

But the number of people supporting the protest only grew larger as anti-Israel activists from outside the college community showed up.
“This development dramatically changed the situation,” NYU spokesperson John Beckman said in a statement, noting that protesters with no affiliation with the university breached the barriers. “We witnessed disorderly, disruptive, and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community, and that demonstrated how quickly a demonstration can get out of control or people can get hurt.”
NYU then requested police officers to respond to the campus, according to Beckman and the NYPD.
The university spokesperson said that multiple “antisemitic incidents” were reported during the protest, without providing specifics.

“We also learned that there were intimidating chants and several antisemitic incidents reported,” Beckman said. “Given the foregoing and the safety issues raised by the breach, we asked for assistance from the NYPD. The police urged those on the plaza to leave peacefully, but ultimately made a number of arrests.”
Cops with the department’s Strategic Response Group stormed the protest at around 8:30 p.m. and began making arrests and taking down all the tents, according to WSN.
Many of the protesters appeared to be praying at the time that the cops swooped in, according to witnesses at the scene.

The NYPD said the students, faculty members and other protesters were being arrested for “disorderly conduct” in an announcement via megaphone.
As cops loaded up the arrestees onto the waiting transport buses, protesters who had gathered outside the barricaded campus plaza moved to the streets to block the vehicles from leaving, according to videos shared on social media. This prompted officers to make more arrests and the buses eventually left.
Police sources said more than 100 people were taken into custody.
An officer pepper-sprayed protesters — and a legal observer directly in the face — during an arrest in at least one instance, according to footage posted online and WSN.
Some of the remaining protesters who were able to evade arrest marched downtown from the NYU campus towards NYPD headquarters, according to social media reports and video.
They were met with a large group at 1 Police Plaza who were there to support the arrested protesters.
The crowd lit off flares — lighting the sky with a red glow and smoke — and waved Palestinian flags while repeating chants in support of Gazans dying under Israel’s retaliatory bombardment.
They also directed chants of “go home losers” at cops stationed outside police headquarters.
NYU was just one of several elite universities across the county where students protesting Israel had set up encampments.
Most notably, a tent city at Columbia University was removed by police last week – but another one popped soon after.

At most of these place 'Finals' begin next week, will the hamasholes be give a free pass on their grades?
Nailed it. Absolutely nailed it. Before everyoneThose cesspools of higher learning are getting exactly what is deserved.
NONE of this riot/protest/don't go to class crap is happening at TRADE SCHOOLS!!
and I bet NONE of them are Engineering students!
They are afraid somebody is gonna get killed, and they are correct. Somebody will, unless "the adults in the room" get control of the situation.JUST IN: Columbia University has announced classes will be remote for the rest of the year as anti-Israel protests rock the school.
And rip their masks off.NYU decided to join in last night.
The faculty from NYU joined arms to form a barrier between the protestors and the police. They were the first to be arrested. It will be interesting to see how the administration deals (or desn‘t) with these faculty members.

Columbia University will continue discussions with anti-Israel student protesters to reach an agreement on a plan to dismantle their encampment “for the next 48 hours” after a midnight deadline passed without a resolution, according to a report.
Riot police were seen assembling overnight as a University spokesperson said university administrators made “important progress with representatives of the student encampment,” the Columbia Spectator reported.

University President Minouche Shafik initially set a midnight deadline on Wednesday for them to clear out before the school would “consider alternative options” to remove the tent city.
However, just past midnight, the Students for Justice in Palestine, Columbia University Apartheid Divest posted on X that they had left talks with the school “until there is a written commitment that the administration will not be unleashing the NYPD or the National Guard on its students.”
Speaker Mike Johnson is set to hold a press conference at the university Wednesday after he meets with Jewish students.

Yes. Nothing better to do, might as well protest on Soros' ticket.Looks like Marching Seasom is going to open with a bang.
