How can you say most of them are unaffiliated with the school and two seconds later saying hundreds of faculty and students are walking out of class to support the protest sounds like students to me and teachers…..

No matter where you stand on this issue, it is interesting that Biden is nowhere in sight as America is undergoing this crisis...

[MatchaCocoaDog]

Oh MSM, you're SO NOT BIASED! 🙄🙄🙄

Why the students will be arrested in USA? When there are protesters occupying universities in Hong Kong. The US government said arresting the protesters are unlawful and US Gov imposed sanction on Hong Kong Gov officer.

The Government's foreign policy towards Israel has always remained unchanged in both parties and in any Government cabinet, so student protests are only an expression of opinion and do not change policy government diplomacy.

We will not be moved unless by force. Wow so that’s was always on her mind.

USA ignored pest control in universities

[aoVu-lyrr]

Students protesting on campus have hindered the school's teaching activities as well as the learning of other students who did not participate in the protests. So is it right or wrong for students to protest on campus?

Are not allowed to protest against Genocide.

Europe and USA facing everything that they used to lecture others about 🙃

[mick-kmoc]

How do you feel about sending your child to university next year? A good investment or waste of money?

Immediately deport all students on visa participating in this. Just imagine being a student in another country and participating in protests there. The audacity.

[tigersf]

That is natural. Every human being with a bit of conscience would react to witnessing the massacre of their fellow human beings. Idk why this is so hard to many of us to comprehend!
