He is careful not to upset the terrorists, what a thoughtful man.
President Biden broke his silence on Thursday regarding the anti-Israel demonstrations that are roiling colleges and universities around the nation, condemning the violence that has broken out and saying that "there's the right to protest, but not the right to cause chaos."

Hard to disagree with his position.

Approximately 134 of the 282 people taken into custody at Columbia University and CCNY were not affiliated with either school -- more than 47%.
Janice Yu is live in Morningside Heights with details on the pro-Palestine protest.
At Columbia, 32 people arrested were not affiliated with the school, while about 80 people were. At CCNY, 102 people arrested were not affiliated, and 68 were.The estimates are based on preliminary background analysis by NYPD. The city is forwarding the lists of arrested protesters to the universities to cross-check and determine the current status of those arrested.
"There were individuals on the campus that should not have been there," Adams said. "There were people who are professionals. We know the terminology 'outside agitator' was used during the Civil Rights movement, when people attempted to show that the movement was not legitimate, and we understand that."
For some, the term "outside agitator" brings back memories of the Civil Rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously wrote about being called an outside agitator in the now-historic letter from the Birmingham jail in April 1963.

Great news, Yemen is offering any students expelled to come to Sanaa university to complete their degrees. Those houthis, really looking out for the displaced academics

@George-K they look a little long of tooth for students
In fairness, some might be faculty.
To me they look like people who ought to know better than they do.
Which reminds me….
The other day during a press conference in NYC the mayor made some statement to the effect that agitators from the outside were brought in to radicalise “our children” attending the university. I agree that protesting students behave like children but they are adults 18 years of age of and over. They should be called adults and treated like adults. Calling them children lets them off the hook for their actions. The mayor, whoever he is, is way out of line referring to the students as children. I can only hope he too knows better. I doubt it.

If I'm honest I don't really think I was an adult until I was at least 25. Some have said considerably later.
-
Point taken that few people, especially males, do act like adults until over 21. Some never do. But that is not the my point. 18 year olds are legally adults, not children. While their behaviour may be childish, their responsibility and accountability are those of an adult.

As I've said many, many times. It's not like, at age 21, the "maturity switch" gets flipped to the "on" position.

Yup. You want the benefits (voting, marriage, drinking, etc) be prepared to accept the responsibilities and consequences

Americans aren't allowed to drink at 18, so they are still being treated differently at that age in that way at least.
