      You could also argue that students protest more and are therefore more likely to be arrested, almost like a cannery.

      Also pretty sure this is where the second ammendment was meant to kick it.

      I can’t see the Israel defense effecting those people negatively.

      There is no point to protest such shit, nobody is going to listen to them anyway, as this defense is justified (although Israel definitely takes partial blame for not preventing the attack and for the excessive force wich endangers the civilians)

      Also its always hilarious to me seeing pink haired people protesting for a theocratic terrorist state.

        Yeah right. Defending by killing 35k, mostly women and children.

        TIL hair colors determines someone’s stands.

          Enlighten me then.

          Of wich there are no credible sources, but yes as i said, i don’t approve of the recklessness.

          TIL hair colors determines someone’s stands.

          No, just that people with such hairstyles are usually those that would get stoned to death in Islamic theocratic places, LGBT, Human rights people and in general woman without covered hair.

            That’s easy peasy. The inability to see is an indication of visual impairment.

            I won’t respond to your other comments until you get help with you visual impairment problem.

                In this specific case I am trolling you as you’re keeping a blind eye over obvious genocidal acts.

                  So you didn’t read the question, the question was (in context of the previously mentioned example) how it effects the people protesting. Not if its ok or not what Israel is doing (wich it isn’t, as i already said)

    At New York University, for example, several professors were arrested after encircling an encampment to try to shield student activists from police officers’ involvement.

    If I were one of these students, I’d never forget this for as long as I lived. Incredible act by these professors!

    You would think that past events would teach these people that they are on the wrong side of history. Its an open note test, and they’re still failing.

    While I agree with those professors, I’ve found myself mostly keeping my opinions to myself to preserve my job. You can’t support allies if you’re removed from the picture, and admiral or not, effective change often happens through clandestine means.

    Granted, I say this as an atheist teaching at a Catholic campus. I hate religious dogma, and while I don’t hide my views, I tend to t it mostly to myself (publically). The only time I’ll bring up something like this is if a student needs the moral support, like someone that’s having a hard time expressing doubt or wanting to be atheist. Many students need that, and I’m often the only person on campus to talk to about it.

    In other words, you’re better off not getting fired or arrested, living another day to continue the fight. After all, if you’re caught, you can’t support your cause as effectively.
