Rutgers students stage sit-in to protest Condoleezza Rice speech
FOX News ^ | April 29, 2014

Roughly 50 Rutgers University students staged a sit-in at a school administration building in New Brunswick on Monday to protest the school's decision to invite Condoleezza Rice to speak at the university's commencement next month.

Some students held up signs reading, "No honors for war criminals," "War criminals out" and "RU 4 Humanity?" the report said.

The sit-in was one of the largest in Rutgers' history, according to The Daily Targum, a student newspaper. Police reportedly responded to the site of the protest after a glass door was broken and a student cut their hand.

There must be a misprint in here, somewhere. 50? 50! This is the best they can do? This sounds as emphatic as a NOW rally or an MSNBC audience.

If they had had 51 would the administration have surrendered?

Never mind how they’re treating Condeleeza. This isn’t about her personally.
Has any Secretary of State ever had to endure this sort of treatment?

Think of this. Those students are around 20 years old.

The Iraq war started in 2003. These kids ranged from 8 to 12 years old.

They are being manipulated by communist faculty.

“50! This is the best they can do?”

When I was in school 25 years ago a lot of the students were there for learning; 99.9% didn’t care about the cause du jour. As Rutgers imports a lot of foreign students, that figure is probably at 100% (the 50 “students” were probably faculty). Occasionally, some 60s holdout would show up with a megaphone trying to rally interest in some nonsense or other; they were routinely ignored. College rallies in the 60s were big because many people were there just to escape the draft (and since the war and draft ended many of those schools have shrunk); nowadays in this economy those that want four more years of high school find a cheaper way to live them out...

Rutgers sits in the land of Princeton, Columbia, NYU. It is known as the “safety” school for dumb and mediocre students who can’t get into the other schools. Also, guess where the dumb, mediocre faculty and administration gets hired? RU!!!
