Those rapscallions! How can they disobey like that!?! It's almost as if they are thumbing their noses at the powers that be! Unbelievable!

That being said, if you're drawing national attention with your protest, you're doing it right. Keep it up.

At the same time, amid alleged incidents of hate speech, harassment and threats of violence by some participants, Jewish students have voiced concern about their safety on campus.

proceeds to not point to a single incident or even quote a Jewish Columbia student voicing concern

almost makes you think the crackdown on and media reaction to these students doesn't have anything to do with their "antisemitism" thinkin-lenin
