1. For these idiots to get coverage and legitimacy, there must be a writer and string of editors/publisher at the local newspaper which doesn't simply run this news story, but runs it carrying a sympathetic tone and not a shred of scrutiny of the idiotic premises and worldview of the protestors. How can one call themselves a journalist, claim to have a brain, and run the story in the straight-up, zero-scrutiny fashion as done here?
2. Some students have occupied one of the buildings at UMW now for 14 days. For this to happen, several layers of administration at UMW have had accede to what otherwise would be considered trespassing, illegal behavior, etc., in a "public" building. As was the case at Columbia in 1968, why isn't the administration sending in the cops to crack heads? Are these protesting students the ONLY persons with an interest in the functioning of this PUBLIC university? Why do Virginia's taxpayers put up with an administration which does not toss these vagrants off of campus and expel them?
Children in search of a cause
Turn the A/C off!
A/C, water, electricity, and food service.
turnoff the lights, too
and ban pizza delivery
Let’s go see what these brats & elitist faculty are driving....
I wonder how many of these little cherubs have cars. Activism starts at home, kids.
Is this what passes for “critical thinking” now-a-daze?
Then they better get rid of all their modern conveniences, electronics and food........................
What happens when you drop God from the schedule.
We need to raise the voting age to 25.
May I suggest they move to a place more to their liking, like North Korea.
I am for their cause! I insist that they be banned from all use of fossil fuels. Plastics, cars, mass transit, electricity: THEY MAY NOT USE IT.
Just yards away from this campus, American soldiers sacrificed their lives for real causes in 1862-63.
Kids these days.
Pathetic really.
The school, actually a public school, has an endowment of $41 MM. So selling a few thousands shares of oil companies will really show them. Since the school is state supported how about the state cut the funding from the school by the amount of taxes collected from fossil fuel related activity. That will make them happy right???
use some sort CELL Blocking .. apparatus...... and they’ll be gone in a few MINUTES!!
My daughter on participated in a sit in. The reason? Administration did away with reading day before finals.
Students sat in the main corridor of the admin building with their books open and studied there for the day. Several professors showed up and sat with them and did impromptu tutoring sessions for those that needed some extra help.
Turn the heat off next winter.
no beer, it’s transport by truck
Indeed. I guess they have listened to their radical grandparents tales from the 60's. You know, warm spring afternoons on the quad, flowers in bloom, sun glinting off of fixed bayonets, the admin building burning, that sort of thing.
