Yes, thus the thread....
I saw mentioned elsewhere, imagine this occurring in NYC circa 9/11/01, instead it continues unabated. 22 years later, here we are... and yes I mentioned who's funding this crap. Saw a video of an actual class where people were being told what to chant in Arabic.
Firstly, the video should be confirmed... too many people take for granted any video posted with an explanation but don't actually check to see if the video really IS from that location or time.
Second -- no offense meant here but you apparently weren't around in the 1960's. These protests are pretty mild compared to the ones against the Vietnam War. College students have ALWAYS tended to protest wars (yes, even WWII and WWI), so when your favorite news sources start yowling about out of control universities, take a deep breath and go read about the sixties.
Third, there's no "good guys" in this conflict, except perhaps the poor children that are dying from military action and from starvation and disease. That's something that should outrage all of us.
