Hundreds of Smith College students gathered Wednesday to voice solidarity with University of Missouri protesters, only journalists were reportedly barred from the event unless sympathetic to the cause.

A sit-in from noon to midnight at the Northampton, Massachusetts, campus reportedly drew 300 to 500 students and Black Lives Matter activists who chanted and shared their own experiences with racism and discrimination. Similar to rules enforced at the University of Missouri and other campuses nationwide, media members were not allowed to cover the Smith College sit-in unless they openly supported the movement, MassLive reported.

Cancel every single one of their current registrations at any college & refuse to give them any grades. Do not accept any applications for future classes. Do not issue any refunds. Inform the student loan provider that this ‘student’ is no longer allowed on your campus. There are remedies for this kind of behavior, but one has to stand up and use them.

There are sensible kids who would revere the chance to go to college & these buffoons are ruining it for everyone.

QAs an employer, I would refuse to hire any ‘student’ who is at any of these colleges protesting. IF they don’t want an education, let them work for 7.75 an hour as a janitor. They have a truly inflated view of who they are & how important they are-—because they are NOT important to a future employer.

A cause and protest that bans the press always means a totalitarian regime is trying to take over.

I believe Margret Mitchell went there although she did not graduate.

Precisely...For the most part young adults are no longer going to many colleges and universities.

Obama and Clinton have been doing this for years. The students just followed their examples.

Dean Vernon Wormer would not have agreed to their demands. A good dose of double secret probation is in order for the protestors.

Good luck finding a reporter that doesn’t agree with them.
