Claremont McKenna College has suspended five students and placed two others on “conduct probation” for their roles in physically blockading a conservative speaker this spring.
In April, a group of roughly 170 students of Claremont McKenna, as well as outside participants, led a successful blockade of the Athenaeum and the Kravis Center, preventing audience members from listening to a speech by conservative commentator Heather Mac Donald.
"We reject exclusion and ad hominem attacks as barriers to learning."
The school announced Monday that it had imposed sanctions on seven of those students following the completion of a conduct investigation that had previously been delayed to avoid interfering with Commencement, noting that it had charged 10 students disciplinary code violations, but that three were cleared of wrongdoing.
Three of the students received one-year suspensions for their actions, two are suspended for one semester, and two others have been placed on “conduct probation.” In addition, CMC says it has provided administrators at other Claremont Colleges with evidence implicating other students, and is asking them to initiate their own internal investigations.
The anonymous group of students claiming responsibility for the disruptive protests released a statement on the day of Mac Donald’s speech outlining its objections, accusing Mac Donald of promoting “anti-blackness,” “Islamophobia,” and “anti-immigrant” sentiments.
“Mac Donald is representative of the growing normalization of white supremacist fascist ideologies,” the statement asserted, later complaining that “the ruling class in this country is calling for ‘law & order’ in an attempt to deny us a right to rebellion and self-defense against all fascists.”

Expulsion is more appropriate.
Dontcha love how the fascists are the first to call everyone else fascist?
“The school announced Monday that it had imposed sanctions on seven of those students following the completion of a conduct investigation that had previously been delayed to avoid interfering with Commencement, noting that it had charged 10 students disciplinary code violations, but that three were cleared of wrongdoing.”
Guessing the three cleared are attending classes this Summer, and the others’ time will be up in time for Fall semester.
Those used to be considered very fine, Ivy League level schools.
Stupid damn kids.
‘zackly.
This is about one thing. Money. These left wing political hacks running the schools don’t care a fig about free speech.
The alumni have spoken.
One wonders if Claremont McKenna College (or their lawyers) realized they faced tortious liability, or loss of some federal certiications, if they didn’t punish the students.
I call the “antifa” freaks anti-First Amendmenters.
As far as fascists go, there are several HERE who insist that bikers at Waco “got what they deserved,” and would have happily implemented BJ’s wife’s handlers’ plans for America.

No doubt they checked out the fall enrollment numbers for Mizzou and Evergreen College.
Now that the university has found them guilty, speaker should sue them for all they and their mama and daddies have. Make them pay a very high price.
I have read about Mizzou's declining enrollments, but I have not seen anything about Evergreen's enrollment numbers. Do you have a link to any source about Evergreen? I'd love to know that they're suffering as well.

A read an interview with some students who said they didn’t feel safe at Evergreen because they were white.

That’s punishment? How about 50 strokes of the cane and then kicked out?
My Alma Mater has become just another cesspool of leftist drivel.
