Columbia Law students want their final exams called off … in the name of Palestine.
In a recent letter, the student editors of the Columbia Law Review made a public call for the school to cancel the semester’s remaining exams and “give all students passing grades for their work throughout the semester.”
“We believe that canceling exams would be a proportionate response to the level of distress our peers have been feeling,” the unnamed students wrote in an open letter.
The plea comes after Columbia University, on April 30, authorized the NYPD to clear out trespassers who violently and forcibly took over the school’s Hamilton Hall (and smashed windows and trashed furniture while at it).
And yet these law students describe the police’s action as “violence” that “has irrevocably shaken many” of them and “the majority of our classmates.”
According to the Law Review board, law students have been rendered “unable to focus and highly emotional” due to recent events on campus. And, if the school says they can’t all just pass automatically, the Law Review’s letter asks that exams at least be graded on a pass or fail basis.
These needy kids might sound like the squeaky wheels — but a shocking 74.2% of Columbia Law School Students support pass-or-fail grading this semester. (Since 1994, the school has used an A, B, C, F grading system with “very few” credit/fail courses, according to its academic procedures.)

“This is textbook insanity, and it’s from Law students.”
They get juris doctorates, pass the bar exam and the appellate division’s character board, and then they’re lawyers. If you have ever known lawyers beyond “hello” and “pleased t’meetcha,” you would know how utterly in character this mishigas is.

That’s funny no matter who you are they haven’t received their DO YOU KNOW WHO I’AM badge yet.
They are like younger teenagers hire me while I still know everything.
His words now sound prophetic:
And let me say this in English
so you can understand what I am saying.
[Interviewer: I have translation.]
No, I know you have translation,
but I just want to make sure
you get it right.
There will come a day
that we will see far more
radical extremists and terrorists
coming out of Europe
because of a lack of decsion making,
trying to be politically correct
or assuming that they know
the Middle East, and they know Islam
and they know the others
far better than we do.
And I'm sorry, but that's pure ignorance.
They should have been arrested. That would have been the best lesson on the law they would receive at Columbia Law School.
