@dukepaaron I'm with Tony. Not all protest, or more specifically, not all activities called protest, are valid.

@acarson @TonyStark deciding which protest is ideologically acceptable causes more problems than it solves.
It’s the violence and intimidation that should have consequences, not some idiot in a tent.
There’s violence and intimidation present. That’s where university administrations should focus.
@dukepaaron @acarson @TonyStark It’s because of the hectoring of Jewish students that the encampment is being closed.
@tobie1 @acarson @TonyStark I don’t actually believe that. I think it’s because the administration didn’t want to get Stefaniked.
@dukepaaron @acarson @TonyStark If that were the case, the Pres of Columbia would have called the police before testifying in Congress rather than after testifying.
Whatever her motives–and bottom line, I think this is about tuition dollars–the rhetoric and behavior of the protestors has made Jewish students feel unsafe on campus.
@tobie1 @acarson @TonyStark I can’t disagree with a money argument. I’m sure that’s true too. Not so much tuition dollars as donors though.
