Defiant Columbia University graduates wore zip-tie handcuffs, brandished pro-Palestinian signs and even went as far as tearing up a diploma on stage during the Ivy League’s first commencement ceremonies last week.

The protesting students were caught on camera storming across the platform on Friday to accept their degrees during ceremonies that were significantly pared after weeks of violent anti-Israel demonstrations on campus.

In one of the most belligerent displays, Tarsis Salome, a Columbia social work graduate, charged forward with her zip-tied hands above her head as those in the audience cheered her on.

Give ‘em credit. At least this “graduate” has come to realize the value of the Columbia diploma!

Biden will “forgive” (have plumbers and electricians pay for) the debt incurred in getting the diplomas. Since they have no skin the game, to the student the diploma has no real value. And in that, the students are correct. A degree in Critical Gender Studies is indeed worthless.

That is completely true. At least this group has focused on a positive goal and made it all happen!

Maybe families of upcoming graduation ceremonies should be invited to a Three Day Social Interaction Charm School; learning the do’s and don’ts of how one conducts themselves while in a public place.

Meh. These are kids of the elites. Who cares what their parents think? They paid for them to go to this cesspool.

Yep, about as valuable as a used piece of toilet paper.

If the college had any respect for the rule of law and non-discrimination...

No. It is a complete sentence.

Nice. I’m sure employers are lining up to hire graduates from Columbia.

Well, since they ripped their diplomas, I guess they are NOT graduates. They should wear zip ties around their neck and let someone adjust them to the proper “snugness”.

"40% of their students are from the middle east."

As well as the president, Minouche Shafik - explains everything you see. Birds of a feather...

Demographics is destiny. Everyone is afraid to mention these little facts.

Wouldn’t matter; it’s the transcript that verifies attendance, major, degree and completion.

That undeserved Silver Star made a miraculous recovery, to later appear on his suit and his Senate wall.
