USC Cancels Main Graduation Ceremony After Anti-Israel Protests
Breitbart ^ | 04/26/2024 | Joel B Pollack

The University of Southern California (USC) has canceled its main graduation ceremony due to apparent security concerns after anti-Israel protesters tried to encamp and were removed by Los Angeles Police Department this week.

As Breitbart News reported, anti-Israel protesters had tried to occupy the campus, as demonstrators have done at other universities in an apparently well-coordinated and well-funded campaign. In addition, USC canceled the speech of its valedictorian after she was found to have supported the annihilation of the State of Israel in online posts.

Probably too many of the school staff taking off time to join the pro war ragheads to have a graduation

The University of Spoiled Children virtue signalling away their live graduation.

It in part shows how meaningless that they regard their own accomplishments.

It wasn’t the students - it was SOME of them.

It's a shame. Not everyone there is a rich kid. Some of those graduating will be the first college grad in their family. Why ruin it for the straight shooters who play by the rules? Why ruin it for the parents?

Disgusting.
Kids are deprived of an important graduation ceremony because of these filthy anarchists.
Hunt them down

That is an excellent point.

It would be very upsetting if we were personally involved in the situation.

I have no idea what you mean by that.

But there are plenty of kids at these colleges who are trying to study, pass their exams, and get out of there. Not every student at college - even those at very liberal ones - is a radical hothead. A lot of them are serious students who are taking no part in these childish demonstrations.

I meant if my family was impacted.

I mostly agree but believe for it to get to this point it takes more than just the fringe.

The main graduation ceremony y is cancelled. But they are still having graduation ceremonies at all the colleges at the University. So there might be 10 of them.

These things are organized by outside political factions. They rope in the most psychologically lost and stupid of the campus communities.
