Just in awe at the tension evident in this Washington Post article on the recent move by police forces across the country against pro-Palestinian encampments on university campuses (the screenshot is from my iPad and the article may look different by now or on a different app):
Yes, campus protestors should be non-violent, but in this list it’s police, police, police, police, police, and counterprotestors actually causing it. That administrators can’t see that listening to the students, letting them protest, take the consequences (most of which would be academic), and then letting them leave for the summer isn’t the best call here is just baffling. I haven’t read one article where its the actual encampments causing the violence, whatever other policies they may be violating. Calling the police to brutalize your own students is not just counterproductive, but heinous. Shame on all of them.
