These protests have a list of specific demands, especially a demand to divest Columbia's money from arms manufacturers supplying the genocide. Do not infantilize this. It is an organized maneuver with a specific goal.
Columbia was founded by slavery money. Most Ivy League schools are. They weren't clean before and divesting from arms manufacturers is not going to make them clean.
Did these students care about that when they enrolled? No, they were all excited to go to a "good school" to get a high paying job. They don't care about the investments. This is just a thing to do.
Too early in the day to address a strawman so large
it's almost like a bunch of minors went somewhere and then learned things that changed their opinions somehow
Good point. But the real question is, are they going to give the money back?
Wait, so students aren't allowed to protest what their Universities do because they enrolled in those Universities, because of slavery? Do you realize how stupid you sound?
A bunch of white guilt rich kids who can afford to get bailed out.. I'm sorry, these people aren't noble. No sympathy
Hahahahahahahaha
Ahhhhh...
Get drone striked
