    How about if you don’t care about justice, you go comment elsewhere?

      I suggested boycotting these schools that have restrictive policies. People should not go to schools that make policies to restrict support of Palestinians. You think people should go to schools that have shitty policies and then just fight with the administration? Why pay them money… Why wouldn’t you go to another school instead?

        Every liberal arts college in the country when recruiting: “We believe in our students, and here’s some big historical protests that occurred on our campuses that led to X improvment”

        protests against Israel

        “Turns out all that stuff we said to get you to attend our program doesn’t actually apply if you protest our business interests, so get screwed lol”

        Most of these students probably weren’t expecting their respective universities would happily send the police after them, especially after they advertised their culture and social rights history.

        Moreover, solid protests always start in universities because it’s a space of education and knowledge. Tiananmen square was mostly students.

          Don’t worry, these schools will be adding these exact protests to the list to brag about to prospective students in 20 years.

        Because the students are already at school. Their financial aid is locked in. It ain’t so easy switching colleges.
