Pro-Hamas extremists and cowardly, incompetent administrators have robbed the rest of the graduates of the commencement they earned and the once-in-a-lifetime moment to celebrate with their families. The “adults” who allowed this chaos should be ashamed.

Since some of our colleges are turning students into terrorist-sympathizers, let them FAFO:
❌Pink-slip the radicalized professors provoking them.
✂️Nix their tax-exempt status.
👈Send the protestors here on visas back.

Disgusted with how some colleges & universities have responded to antisemitism, lawlessness, and chaos. Free speech is protected but no one has the right to: trespass on private property, intimidate their peers, or violate the civil rights of others. www.newsweek.com/columbia-cancels-graduation-ceremony-universities-palestine-protests-1897560

I have to read that Columbia has canceled its commencement ceremony in @WSJ because the administration couldn't figure out how to inform (much less consult with) their faculty. www.wsj.com/us-news/education/columbia-university-cancels-graduation-student-protests-8f865f7f via @WSJ
