Why are college students protesting?

College campuses across the country are seeing rallies calling for university's to divest from companies connected to the war in Gaza. Economists say it is easier said than done.

Why does the media ask the same question every day?

Go to class and then pay for your own tuition. Don’t skip class to share your opinion then ask us to pay for your failed education.

THEY are not Students. They are paid rebels 😢😢😢

Let’s stop giving our money to foreign countries

Because Russia studied the effects of planting agents as teachers and it worked better than they dreamed in the cold war. Now China has taken it to a whole new level. Know who teaches your children!!!

[Bluejay]

How can you free Palestine from here or how the Universities free Palestine? Why not all of them go to Gaza?
They will never get jobs in those companies. Do they have any "gratitude" for their education in these Universities?

How can the truth be slander? I do not lie.

Children need to return to classes or be removed from universities.

[plainsong]

This is such bs. You can absolutely divest from individual donors and from exchange programs. Please stop promoting nonsense.

Omg! A company cares more about profit then the people 😮😮😮 STOP THE PRESSES!

Is calling for a repeat of Oct 7th, again and again a part of your peace plan?

[Lollmfao]

Why aren’t they buying tickets and flying out there to help!? I don’t understand. Complaining is doing what exactly!?

These school admins will never divest. They're a business. Everyone's just a business now. I'm 25 and honestly it's hard to take. The schools preach all this about helping the next generation and supporting their students, but the reality is if Palestine had the funds to endow these schools and Israel didn't this situation would be the flipped equivalent. Meanwhile it costs Columbia and NYU students upwards of 80000 dollars to get a degree that's losing it's worth by the day, going into a job market that's simultaneously oversaturated and shrinking because of technology, and potentially never owning their own homes. We're not whiny kids, we're afraid for our future.

most likely they answered an add to get paid good money. Root of all evil and who paid them are giggeling saying DA'ses.

[kellyburket]

Why wouldn't they be? Genocide is bad!!!

[eslyn]

I never thought i would see the day when the same enemies who made America 😭 on September 11th are now their bed partners.They will make you 😭 again

Yes, students need to pay for their own tuition, we need to save money to send it to Israel!

[robny]

Because the media and internet have them believing their voice matters. Do you honestly think either of the 2 countries in question care what these kids are saying during a camping trip to the front lawn. Cmon.

[Idontcare-gn]

Yeah devest my tax dollars going to their school and scholarships, student loan debt forgiveness, lets really devest

[peterparker]

They are protesting because they are bored living in mom and dads basement
