Hundreds of graduates at Harvard University walked out of their commencement Thursday after the school announced 13 students who participated in the recent pro-Palestinian protests on campus would not be allowed to receive their diplomas with fellow students.

Groups of graduates walked out chanting “Free, Free Palestine” and “Let them walk, let them walk” in reference to the students barred from walking at the ceremony, The Associated Press reported.

A total of more than 1,000 students participated in the walkout, according to the school’s protest groups.

I love that the school’s board has said no to issuing diplomas to some of the protesting students, despite facility objection.

Trump needs to come forward and say he is going to tax these endowments.

Commencement exercises used to be for the parents because they paid the bill.

Now that the government is involved, the only beneficiaries are the “academics” who benefit from the taxpayers’ largesse.

It’s just welfare for lazy eggheads.

I’m glad that they’re finally giving out free Palestines. The previous ones cost us billions.

Their parents must be thrilled that they have successfully raised a bunch of sub-adult brats. I don't even want to know groupthink-y dumbasses like that.

People with kids near to college age seem obsessed with them going “up East” to fancy schools.

Sometimes they shell out $75K or more in tuition alone, each year.

Wonder how much longer before people figure out they’re being hosed?

Have them send it in the mail and go surfing or mountain hiking. You know something worthy.

Those who walked out are unworthy of Harvard!

Someday—sooner or later—they will be very sorry they walked out of their Commencement!

And it’s all for an unworthy cause—palestinian murderers and rapists!

Good one.

My joke was a kid asking mom “Can I have a Palestine, please?
The people over there say they have free Palestines.”🍡

Mother: “Well, it’s close to dinner time but maybe you can have one Ak-bar. I heard the Allahu Akbar vendors shouting about them. Probably chocolate.”🍫

As others have said, this generation of college graduates will be given professional jobs and take over as young leaders who gradually replace the Boomers in charge of.....everything.

AOC may be President by then.

I went to my grandson’s graduation this past Monday. There were 2,000 graduates and not one protester. About 12 students from ROTC were commissioned as 2nd lieutenants and were given a standing ovation. It was all pretty impressive. This was in N.C and lots of students from the northeast.

With many hoping for the taxpayers to pay for their student loans via Biden’s forgiveness program.

The left is so much in lock step these days that they think all will turn themselves in at the gas chambers and ovens by driving or walking there. That includes self hating Jewish people. They want to one up the Nazis on that count.

I know it doesn’t matter much but the more the left pushes against them, the more of a backer of Israel I become.

> chanting “Free, Free Palestine” and “Let them walk, let them walk” <

Boring. At a minimum, the chants should rhyme.

Just off the top of my head:
“We will squawk until you let them walk.”
