Columbia University has fallen

[putnam6]

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.

You are so dismissive its kind of irritating no offense, honestly. LOL been following the news for decades now, I know you check your sources Definitely a Russ Kick disciple 

I'll see if I can find the video It was from a few days ago, Ill post and see if it meets your stringent criteria as fact.

 here's a link that backs up they are training people, just doesn't seem to be the MLK or Gandhi approach to activism

College students aren't protesting Sudan right now it has so much more destruction, death over 6 million people displaced. Crickets why is that.

Im 59 years old and had older brothers and sisters we were very aware of the Vietnam protests. Kent State etc. We watched the TODAY SHOW on NBC got to see all the protests and the videos of our POW's eating gruelishly thin soup with fish eyes.

Those protests weren't just fueled by the war in Vietnam though and portraying them as such is simplistic. There were broader issues meshed with the war Civil Rights, the assassinations of MLK, RFK, Malcolm X, the hippy counterculture etc. 

Secondly, those protests achieved what exactly? Nixon's downfall maybe , they didn't end the war and they won't end this one.

The racist bigoted antisemite angle wasn't exactly present in the 60s and 70s, was it?

Im fine with organic homegrown protesting, don't even care if they are semi-organized from domestic sources. This is another level and it's dangerous AF for a lot of reasons. Apparently, you don't see that

The university sent a letter to the organizers Tuesday night telling them to cancel the event.

The University of Texas at Austin must first and foremost act to protect our educational mission, allowing the activities and operations that support our mission to proceed. At the same time, we are steadfast in our support of free speech. Our policies and rules help define the lines between these objectives and shape our response to planned protests.
The Palestine Solidarity Committee student organization’s event “Popular University for Gaza,” which is planned for tomorrow, has declared intent to violate our policies and rules, and disrupt our campus operations. Such disruptions are never allowed and are especially damaging while our students prepare for the end of the semester and final exams. For these reasons, this event may not proceed as planned.
Simply put the University of Texas at Austin will not allow this campus to be “taken” and protesters to derail our mission in ways that groups affiliated with your national organizations have accomplished elsewhere.
Please be advised that you are not permitted to hold your event on the University campus. Any attempt to do so will subject your organization and its attending members to discipline including suspension under the Institutional Rules. Individuals not affiliated with the University and attempting to attend this event will be directed to leave campus. Refusal to comply may result in arrest.
OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF STUDENTS
