I do not understand the reasoning these wusses running these schools are taking with regards to these Terrorist Supporting thugs. EXPEL, ARREST PROSECUTE... why is this so frikking hard?

College administrations are full to the brim of true believers in Woke theory. In fact, the protesting students are the products of their carefully designed programs of Marxist/Woke indoctrination.

Ergo, they support the protestors, whether they admit it publicly or not.

They’re a part of the plan.

Kindred Spirits, often described as partners in crime. The shoe fits.

It’s all about the feelz. Can’t hurt the darlings’ feelings.

Columbia has come a long ways down since Ike was the school president.

These campuses actively recruited some types of students, strident militant alternative lifestyle people under DEI. To make them to our leaders of the future. I’d like to see their high school GPA and SAT test scores. In fact someone should do a blind (not able to see their names or face or gender) and look at all the applicants who applied to these schools, then separate out those who got admitted, then unblind them and see whether there was social promotion, eg whether certain types of people were given admission with lesser test scores and grades. Legacies probably do, donors, those who can pay all in cash, and some other reasons. And then find out who was discriminated against by denying their admission.

I doubt the schools will ever allow that. Though there was a case that went to the Supreme Court recently and the court ruled schools cannot use race or gender etc as a factor in admission. Maybe some of the data is out there or in that case file.

Depends on the state. New York is a Democrat-controlled state, with a weak governor who is dependent on Democrat Progressive support. Senators Schumer and Gillibrand are scared to death of opposition from the Squad and Democrat Socialists of America. The most influential newspaper here (the New York Times) as well as most TV outlets headquartered here are partial to the protestors.

Imagine the outcry from this bunch and leftist professors if the cops were called in once more and violence ensued.

Note the response to what is going on, from the two NY Senators, has been crickets.
