RE: Why not specifically target the left-leaning law students? The conservative ones shouldn’t suffer from this.
That’s what I was thinking too. You don’t assume that EVERY SINGLE LAW STUDENT from Columbia are left-leaning.
Heck, Columbia has over 30,000 students.
Only a few hundred of them were in that protest and even then: 1) Not every one of those in the protest were real Columbia students; 2) Not every Columbia student who joined the protest were LAW students.
You don’t punish the majority of those law students who did not participate in the protest for the idiocy of the tiny minority.
The professors at that school had a large role in the riots. They were ringleaders up on the podium making statements.
If the teachers are like that, if the school tolerates such teachers, it’s a safe bet that their students are getting a poor education.
Totally rational.
Good point.
And the left-leaning ones are somewhat less mentally competent anyway.
“You don’t punish the majority of those law students who did not participate in the protest for the idiocy of the tiny minority.”
You’ve never been in a situation where one person screws up and the entire class/squad/group gets punished for it? Such a policy causes said group to develop responsibility and accountability. If you see a peer acting the fool and you know you will get punished as a result of his actions, you are more likely to intervene. This is to punish Columbia University, not necessarily the individual students.
