Harvard Law students occupy a school building

A group of Harvard Law students have occupied one of the school’s halls, saying there is no space for marginalized students and staff on campus. The occupation, which began Monday night, is an effort to create such an environment, according to a statement from the students.

The group, which calls itself Reclaim Harvard Law, took to the lounge in Wasserstein Hall around 8 p.m., renaming the spot “Belinda Hall”—a nod to a former slave of the law school’s donors. Around 20 students spent the night in the lounge Monday after toting along air mattresses, blankets, and suitcases, The Crimson reported. Some said they intend to remain in the hall indefinitely.

“Our recent efforts are intellectually descended from the numerous student movements that have arisen time and again at HLS, because of a long-true reality: Harvard Law School is not an inclusive institution,” a statement from the group said.

If they are like the “occupy” losers of Occupy Wall Street and of my generation, they should occupy a shower.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that the black professors pictures that were defaced was done by one( or more) of the protesting group.

How about throw ‘em all out of Harvard law and see whether after 15 years working as a paralegal they still thing this was so important.

I recommend the actions take by USC when students took over the Dean of Administration’s office a few years ago. Some of them had their lawyers with them. The students were handed letters signed by the dean warning them that they had 20 minutes to vacate the building. If they did not, they would be suspended and would have until 5 p.m. to vacate campus housing. The letter closed by informing them that their parents had been notified. As the students read their letters, their cell phones began to ring and you could hear fathers shouting, “What the hell do you think I’m paying $50k a year for? Get back to class!” Some of the students started to cry, and all had departed within the required 20 minutes.

These self-identified victims only pull this stuff because they get away with it. Consequences go a long way toward adjusting their behavior.

I would LOVE to know the amount of federal ‘free’ funds these students are getting to attend that college? How many are on scholarships from white people they hate?

I don’t suppose simply bricking the thing up with them inside is going to be a popular solution, but it’s a practical one.

The motto for the new Hall is:
