More than a thousand Harvard students walked out of their commencement ceremony yesterday to support 13 undergraduates who were barred from graduating after they participated in the Gaza solidarity encampment in Harvard Yard.
Asmer Safi, one of the 13 pro-Palestinian student protesters barred from graduating, says that while his future has been thrown into uncertainty while he is on probation, he has no regrets about standing up for Palestinian rights.
You're viewing a single thread.
Meanwhile, this is Harvard University senior Shruthi Kumar, who went off script as she gave the English commencement address, slamming Harvard for denying the degrees. She read from notes that she pulled out of her graduation gown.
This should get air time. While the others walked out in solidarity together, she's putting herself on the line individually. It gives administration a name to the crowd.
There is a video in the article where her speech is aired. Her speech went so hard the word "slammed" might be justified for once.
This goes so hard
Damn that crowd went so wild if they cheered any longer Harvard would call the police to tear gas them.
where's the piped bot when you need it?
Especially since the posters marked it "for kids" for some dumb reason, so you can't save it for later.
Yes, so fucking stupid. I was looking for a way to report it as not a kids video but there weren't any options that didn't also flag it as something inappropriate.
Wow, how incredibly brave.
i cant save this for later because it's made for kids? what?
Damn, Gen Z is killing it
