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

Posted on 04/29/2014 3:27:50 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

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.

You’re statement shows you are just as ignorant as the students you are writing about. Contrary to your opinion, Rutgers is not a safe school by any means. In fact, it is quite good and selective in its admissions processes.

John Kerry should

Remember what his Paris commie pals did to Vietnam and Cambodia? Kerry never lost a night’s sleep, although he claimed to have spent a traumatic Christmas in Cambodia.

From Bill Bennet’s “American Patriot Alamanac”: On this day in history, April 30, 1975

“I cannot, alas, leave in such a cowardly fashion”

The events unfolded half a world away, but the last days of April 1975 were dark ones in American history. The United States had withdrawn its forces from Southeast Asia, leaving the Communist North Vietnamese army to overrun South Vietnam. On April 29, as North Vietnamese troops encircled Saigon, American officials began a helicopter evacuation to get thousands of U.S. citizens, South Vietnamese allies, and others out of the capital city. On April 30, South Vietnam surrendered.

Just days earlier, a similar though smaller-scale evacuation had taken place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, as forces of the Communist Khmer Rouge moved in on that capital. As U.S. officials fled the country, the American ambassador asked Prince Sirik Matak if he would like to leave. Matak’s response is difficult for Americans to read:

I thank you very sincerely for your letter and your offer to transport me towards freedom. I cannot, alas, leave in such a cowardly fashion. As for you, and in particular for your great country, I never believed for a moment that you would have this sentiment of abandoning a people which has chosen liberty. You have refused us your protection, and we can do nothing about it. You leave, and my wish is that you and your country will find happiness under this sky. But, mark it well, that if I shall die here on the spot and in my country that I love, it is no matter, because we are all born and must die. I have only committed this mistake of believing in you.

When the Khmer Rouge seized Phnom Penh, they shot Matak in the stomach. Unattended, it took him three days to die. During the Khmer Rouge’s four-year reign of terror, some 1.5 million people died from execution, starvation, and forced labor.

Rutgers has been a sewer for liberal leftists since the 1960s.

“Contrary to your opinion, Rutgers is not a safe school by any means.”

Rutgers absolutely is a safety school for students applying to the Ivy League. It might still be a fine institution in some departments, but no one ever applied to Princeton as a fall-back because they were afraid Rutgers wouldn’t take them.

That’s racist. Where’s the Reverands to decry the racism? Where’s the hollywood outrage? Who will wear their clothes inside out in protest? Who will speak against this racism and hate speech?

Crickets.......

So, a student cut the hands of the police after they responded to the site of the protest for a broken glass door? Must be. "Police" is the only plural noun in the sentence that could possibly be the antecedant for the plural pronoun "their".

Their hand? Would that be the collective hand of the police? Ah, todays’s “journalism”....{—sigh—}

Why would anyone with the credentials she has agree to speak to those brainwashed liberal idiots? Certainly there is money involved but does she REALLY need the $$ ? Nothing she would have said would have gotten into their "cemented" brains.

Oh, how Rutgers has fallen. My very smart husband earned his engineering degrees there a long time ago. It was men only then, too.

Only 50 students? Really? Rutgers is a glorified community college.
