Hundreds of Smith College students gathered Wednesday to voice solidarity with University of Missouri protesters, only journalists were reportedly barred from the event unless sympathetic to the cause.
A sit-in from noon to midnight at the Northampton, Massachusetts, campus reportedly drew 300 to 500 students and Black Lives Matter activists who chanted and shared their own experiences with racism and discrimination. Similar to rules enforced at the University of Missouri and other campuses nationwide, media members were not allowed to cover the Smith College sit-in unless they openly supported the movement, MassLive reported.

"It's a student event, and we respect their right to do that, although it poses problems for the traditional media,"Ya think? It was on the leftist campus so it's not a surprise the administration supported it.

“journalists were reportedly barred from the event unless sympathetic to the cause.”
What cause? Phantom racism? “Oh there is really no racism but we demand you make pretend there is”

Good. So now all reporters will have to identify themselves for what they are, propagandists.

Not feeling bad for the morons that sent their kids to indoctrination centers. Hopefully they go bankrupt because of their stupidity.
They should be cages alongside the braindead animals they raised.

Many of these same administrations kicked Christian clubs off campus because they were not “open to everyone”. There is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen.

Imagine these same rules being imposed at (say) a Trump rally.
To: jazusamo
The media should self-ban from these events. There is no good reason to report the thoughts of children to the nation.

At this point I'm fairly sure that I would prefer to send one of my children to a Hitler Youth Camp before sending them to one of these mind shredders that we laughingly refer to a University today. At least I'd know that their minds were being poisoned up front.

Isn’t Smith College an all girls college?
To: RobertoinAL
Yes it’s a lib arts girls college, I’d bet many of the protesters were not female.
