Marxist Central. SDS ruined a lot of lives. I grew up in NYC and they were omnipresent in the colleges and the NYC special high schools. They took over all sorts of events, and one of the other bizarre things was that they were like Mormons...they would “baptize” you into their cult if they knew your name. There was an SDS meeting near my HS and another student had invited me...I said no, and then a few days later somebody came up to me and said, “ I didn’t know you were SDS, but I saw your name on the list of attendees.” This person thought it was great, I did not, but there was no way to get my name off the list.
A lot of people don’t realize how pernicious and well organized was SDS, and it was clearly controlled by people way above those who were theoretically in charge of it.
That said, prayers for all the law enforcement and innocent people involved on this standoff.
I had a similar problem with them. ( sds types, not the lds). College administrators need to learn how to kick that kind of Disruptive trash off campus. It definitely doesn’t belong there.
