USC cancels graduation ceremony and dozens are arrested on other campuses as anti-war protests grow

"Oh yeah? You don't like genocide? Well you don't get your cap and gown ceremony. So there."

That'll show 'em.

Why is everyone afraid of college students protesting? I mean this police state response goes back to before Kent State and Tianemen square no doubt.

Well if it’s frightening- keep it up! There must be some form of agency there

The kids are alright.

I feel like this is having a bit of a Streisand effect.

Watching the American democracy go down and the Palestinian people with it. So many young people losing hope and the alt right will elect a man even more opposed to the Palestinian cause than the current government of the United States. What a time so be alive.

ah... the Land of the Free

Protests are important, but I also encourage and hope that young people who care about the world become lawyers and politicians

If student unions can organize with worker unions for protests/strikes that seems like a possible way we'll get enough momentum going to think about a general strike for some long overdue reforms

Are there any records of universities cancelling graduations ceremonies and/or arresting students for their support of Israel and/or Zionism?

Can someone explain for the unread what they are doing that caused someone to "break it up?"

I understand PROTESTING but were there justifying instances of damage, looting, violence?

Please, if you're just as uninformed as me don't comment. There's enough people just shouting shit these days.

Why don't we all go join them? (Don't want to hear your excuses I'm not accusing anyone)

Maybe we can start something.

I know several Jewish people who told me that they're going to vote for Trump and the Republicans because they're the only ones supporting them.

At first, I thought this might be the University of South Carolina, and I was impressed as hell. For Southern California, though, I’m surprised that protesting isn't a graduation requirement.

Edit: Do people think I’m insulting student protesters? I’m not. They’re important, and it’s okay to make fun of friends.

Anti war... Who do they suggest lay down their arms first?

Probably should be protesting the terrorist organization of Hamas and not supporting them...

They are a cancer that needs to be removed in order for everyone to live in peace.
