Always remember, that despite their meager attempts at hiding their depravity, there is no lower limit to the slime of the modern ivy-league. They are fast becoming the outhouse league. It’s best that they separate their only remaining truly academic disciplines (STEM) before those become as asinine and corrupt as the lib arts clown shows, and let STEM go on to keep giving us improvements to our lives. As for the lib arts departments, well, guillotines are a fine solution.

Nice, but not enough.

“cease all organizational activities for the remainder of the Spring 2024 term”

Why not permanently and forever?

For some reason this comes to mind:

LGBTQ Voices Are Increasingly Speaking Up for Palestinians Despite Backlash

In the face of Israeli pinkwashing, LGBTQ-led organizing plays an important role in Palestine solidarity efforts.

While I disagree with their message, they should have the right to voice it.

Is it moral for us to shut down descent? Just as the libs shut down us?

To me they have a 1st Amendment right to protest, just as we have the right to show them protesting.

I don’t think they should shut down all dissent. But in this case, the dissent is the pro-Israel side. They are the dominant narrative on campus. And the university should not be privileging one side.

There are rules put in place for protesting on campus. If they are not abided by, then the school in essence devolves into anarchy. Shutting them down for deliberately ignoring the rules is common sense in a civilized society.

no one has the “right” to kill for the genocide of the jews. Sorry.

People (and institutions) always know what side their bread is buttered on.

I’ve said for a long time that the things most modern Universities really care about now are profit and liability.

Agreed. There is no right to kill for genocide.

But there is right to freedom of speech. When you deny that right, you allow yourself to be silenced when someone else has the power.

Do you think chanting that Tel Aviv should be burnt to the ground is just ‘dissent’?

Name the arbitrator who decides which speech is acceptable. I can’t name one.

a school has the right to make rules against calling for the killing of others.

That is not free speech it is a threat of violence.

I think when a private institution is being embarrassed and tainted by radical and inflammatory speech, the institution is the arbiter.

Calling for violence against others is dangerous and needs to be monitored.

But advocating for a group and being shut down allows someone the power to shut you down.

They are the ones refusing to allow free speech or religion. They shout down, threaten, and vilify anyone who disagrees with them. They don’t play by the rules
