College Campus Chaos
Chaos is breaking out on college campuses across the country. Pro-Palestinian "protestors" are setting up encampments and refusing to follow university and city policies/laws. This inevitably has lead to violence and arrests. But this is a biproduct of universities for decades turning a blind eye towards "protests" on campus against any viewpoint that does not fall in line with what is thought to be the majority on campus. Just ask any Republican politician attempting to give a speech on campus. The bed has been made for decades and now administrations are having to sleep in it and watch their campuses devolve into anarchy. But school will be ending soon, and the protests likely will move from campuses to the city streets. How should campuses have reacted and how should cities react in the coming weeks? Let's discuss.
