College socialists students plan to 'strike for Palestine' by staying home and skipping class to cause 'disruption'
Campus Reform ^ | 15 Aug 2024 | Emma Arns

Young Democratic Socialists of America chapters are slated to host stay-at-home strikes to “weaponize” students against their institutions.

Over 100 Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) university chapters are invited to participate in a “National Student Strike for Palestine,” urging universities to divest from Israel, by staying home and skipping class.

“We need disruption—and a strike does just that. When students refuse to go to class, the university cannot function,” said a YDSA organizer, as reported by The Free Press.

Throughout the previous academic year, hundreds of pro-Hamas protests, which YDSA calls “a beautiful show of organizing energy”, took place across America’s campuses. However, YDSA acknowledges that “many were not successful in achieving their demands”.

...

“The irony, of course being that while they chant to divest, they literally throw away money to not attend class.”

If they have paid tuition, why should the institutions care whether they attend class or not?

I love when people who produce nothing think they can wield power by going on “strike.”

Exactly. They are hurting nobody but themselves as they are there to get an education (though they really aren’t getting an education but propagandized in democrat/leftist think) and if they don’t go to class, they are the only ones who get hurt.

Somebody is not clear on the concept. How can a person THAT stupid graduate from high school and enter college?

It seems they no longer have intelligence testing to get into college.

Don’t they realize Israel is liberating Palistine from Hamas.

That’s a good thing because mose Palistinians feel brutalized by Hamas.

So the protesters are protesting the wrong side.

They are remarkably stupid. Different evolutionary branch.

“Pop quiz day!”

One that covers up to minute required information and will constitute 25% of their final grade scores. And if they are not there, have a makeup assignment due within a week for them to do to make it up. And that will constitute the 25% score. If you don’t give them an out, they have a complaint. But don’t make the makeup assignment easy...10 page essay on anything in the quiz material, i.e., the entire up to date course material. And make it interpretive so they can’t copy and past information.

Someone must have gotten his knowledge of teaching from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. When Bueller takes the day off, Ben Stein is left in front of the class saying "Bueller, Bueller..." until the bell rings ending class

These dumbasses go to college to learn the wonders of socialism while half the population of the planet has illegally sneaked into America to get away from Marxism and socialism. Geez.
