A California college president is vowing to get tough with anti-Israel student protesters terrorizing her campus.
Roughly 150 students at Pomona College in Claremont demonstrated at an administrative building on campus housing school president Gabrielle Starr’s office Friday, then stormed the building and refused to leave, according to the San Bernardino Sun.
Video circulating on X showed students calling on the school to “stop funding genocide” and berating police officers as “KKK.”
They briefly occupied Starr’s office, according to eyewitness accounts.
At least 18 students were reportedly arrested.
Several of the students used “a sickening, anti-black racial slur in addressing an administrator,” Starr claimed in an open letter to the college community.
“These actions are actively destructive of the values that underpin our community,” she wrote of the Alexander Hall occupation. “Any participants in today’s events … who turn out to be Pomona students, are subject to immediate suspension. Students from the other Claremont Colleges will be banned from Pomona’s campus and subject to discipline on their own campuses.”
The moves from Pomona suggest colleges are starting to rethink broad campus free speech policies that have allowed universities to became daily staging grounds for pro-Palestinian student demonstrators since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas which left at least 1,200 dead.
Pomona College is not the only school to change its approach to protests.
Last week the University of Michigan announced a “disruptive activity policy,” creating tough new penalties for students who interrupt official university events including classes, field trips, athletic events, performances, speeches, award ceremonies and graduation, the school announced.

Deport every one of those brats to Gaza.
U. of Michigan students have been complaining about the university’s endowment investment instruments that include a small percentage of research company funds that mean “money going to Israel.”
They’ve just staged a walkout and earlier did an old fashioned sit-in at the President’s office, despite having to illegally break in as the building was closed and locked.
Suspension?? Should be automatic expulsion.
Historical and biblical truth - The “Palestinian refugees” are neither Palestinian nor refugees. Here are the facts!

Hating on white Europeans is OK but the same medicine cannot be used on the Jews. Got it.
U of Mich students....yawn. like they used to do that weekly. Pantywastes...yea, spelled that correctly.
Hippies vs hippies, both need a cold shower into reality from daddy.
Schools seem to be fine with the anti-semtic violncce, but an "anti-black racial slur"?
Expel them!

This is how college admins should deal with these jagoffs.
I can't help it. That's what I thought it said.
Makes just as much sense, too.
My mistake on this one. I saw the pic and assumed they were pansies.
Can’t find a reference. Sorry.
Same types had a protest in January against Kamala Harris speaking about climate change, chanting against money to Israelis who kill people in Gaza.
She spoke at Hill Auditorium where I saw a visit by Gene Roddenberry and his wife Majel Barrett in the 1970s, who spoke about Star Trek (no sequels or movies yet). Showed the blooper reel and took questions. He said if all the fans who wanted a renewal of he show were put together you would need ten times as many to influence Hollywood to make a movie. They actually got them and did the film and TV sequels.
Shows Churchill was right: Never give up.
1. Today's colleges don't have broad free speech policies.
2. This will be used as an opportunity to further tighten free speech across the board.
A college administrator actually doing the job?!
(of course, it would be much better not to admit such evil trash from overseas into America in the first place! at least we used to have immigration checking backgrounds on those entering USA...and especially those entering from anti-American and terrorist-infected nests like Communist China and Islamic Krapistans -—Biden’s open borders STINK!)
ON A ONE WAY PASSPORT-—CANNOT COME BACK-—NOT EVEN IN A BODY BAG.
Trying to appropriate another sacred symbol?
INSURRECTION !!!
