My roommate in a college-prep high school was a NJ Communist.

Not surprising he graduated from Columbia Law School...!

Arrest all protestors, kick them out of school, if they stated or support Hamas put them on the terrorist watchlist, no fly list, grab all bank accounts and seize all property.

LOL- Columbia, like all ivy league schools, have always been a bastion of Jew hating and anti-Americanism

The Cultural Marxist movement founded in German’s Frankfort School in 1923 moved to the USA and used Columbia as their HQ when Hitler was rising to power.

Since then, Columbia has been a center of Cultural Marxist power. Now, higher “education” has become leftist indoctrination on almost every campus.

The Cultural Marxists are in the Home stretch of their Long March to destroy the country and remake it from the ground up in their own image.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

She and her supporters can all go crawl under a large rock under acceleration while this shit is SHUT DOWN...

...or her own words will be used as justification for what’s coming against THEM.

Sen Fetterman tweeted “Add some tiki torches and it’s Charlottesville “. 😮
Didn’t Joe just imply “there are good people on both sides?”

Columbia has been the epicenter of the communist movement in the U.S. since the 1950s...

Nothing has changed...

Columbia gave us the Frankfurt School. It’s been downhill ever since.

Hired crisis actors are not spontaneous believers in anything but getting paid.

Who are the paymasters?

The writer said Republicans have believed there is a “Liberal” bias at Columbia. NO. It’s a Leftist bias. Liberals barely exist anymore, as the socialists predicted would happen back in 1948.

Notice no publicity on the money that went to both Israel and Gaza in the “Ukraine funding” bill that just passed?

We need Jews (the money and media control for Dem party) and Muslims to battle it out on the streets.

If enough Muslims stay home, it could tip Michigan to Trump.

Divide and conquer.

All of the sub-groups that comprise the anti-America first Dem party actually hate each other.

Blacks hate Hispanics.

Muslims openly murder gays when Muslims are in power.

Union workers are being replaced by illegals.

Jews and Muslims hate each other.

They need to realize they’re no logical reason they should be in the same party as they’re completely at odds. But hating America binds them all into an evil cabal.

These college demonstrations and the open demonstrations about to take place in Michigan could start the house of cards collapsing.

Push comes to shove the Dems own the Democrat party because of the money. It’s Muslims and blacks most likely to defect.

A link within this article discussed some of the history of the 8-day "occupation" of Columbia's main campus and buildings by its anti-war, anti-establishment students in 1968. Part of the response to that hippie era of mindless anti-discrimination has been greater efforts to open the campus to "the community", which has allowed outside activists funded by global communists into this month's demonstrations, making them appear to have arisen from the university more than they actually have.

The following excerpt from the above link illustrates the sneering, anti-authoritarian beliefs of the students from the 60s that has become an entrenched attitude of entitlement at most top universities ever since:

Unlike antiwar or civil rights demonstrators of the 1960’s who were more experienced in truly brutal arrests, most students caught in the Columbia confrontations of 1968 were treated relatively lightly, though most called it police brutality.

The damage was extensive. Furniture had been smashed, shelves toppled, windows broken, filing cabinets rifled, carpets strewn with cigarette butts and papers strewn in drifts. And the detritus of an eight-day occupation was everywhere: dirty blankets and half-eaten sandwiches; posters of Lenin, Che Guevara and Malcolm X. And, of course, the residue of hatred....

To Edward Schwartz, president of the National Student Association, it was outrageous to bring 1,000 police officers onto a university campus. “The brutality of this action has pierced through all ambiguities surrounding the issues at Columbia,” he said.

Somehow, being privileged to attend an expensive Ivy university means they never have to obey the law, respect property rights or care about the needy scholarship students who just want to get an education in relative peace. Respect for the investments of centuries by institution-builders and donors? pfah!

Because they are either in agreement with it and allow it to continue, or they are total wusses who don't have the collective backbone of a jellyfish and won't stand up to the anarchists.

Exactly right. And those Boomer Progressives atook over the country.

And they never paid any price for what they did. In fact, they were rewarded for their “activism”.

I thought universities were places where people with differing viewpoints can discuss and debate their differences thoughtfully and respectfully, but what do I know?🤬🤬🤬.

I wasn't alive then, but one of the famous incidents from that occupation, was when one of the students, David Shapiro, sat at the Dean of Columbia's desk and smoked one of the Dean's cigars, and the picture was all over the media. I remember first hearing about this, because there was an episode of Law & Order in the 90's about a murder that took place during the occupation of Columbia, and they spent a time talking about that picture, and made Shapiro a character in the episode. (Of course, they didn't use the name Columbia, but it was all about the incident.)
