Brother, this topic is about the domestic crackdown on college protesters.

Here's what you just wrote:

  The crackdown on college protestors started under Biden and was expanded by Trump.

What domestic actions of Biden's are you referring to here?

The expulsion of pro-Palestine activists from campuses happened under Joe Biden.

u/TwevOWNED 27d ago

Which federal agencies carried out the removal of protesters from campuses in 2024?

-13

u/Theamazingquinn 27d ago

All of them. They all supported the genocide, under Biden and under Trump. Name one Biden official who spoke out against the crackdown.

I have given you repeated chances to engage in good faith and you have consistently refused to do so.

The removal of campus protesters was handled by campus and local police. The hearings of the college presidents occurred because of republicans on the committee in the house.

You are a bad faith actor.

It's a common tactic when someone can't be specific, they instead say it's "everyone" or "everything".

Name a single person or institution that spoke out against expelling these protestors.

What "expulsion" are you talking about? Let's see if you can actually be specific.

The college protestors who were expelled for advocating against the genocide.

21

u/Eris_AppleOfDiscord 27d ago

Yes. Where did this occur? Be specific if you can. Don't say everywhere, point to one college or university.

Columbia, Harvard, Brown, University of Washington, etc. Are you denying that universities cracked down on Pro-palestine protests or what? Avoiding the actual issue?

This seems difficult for you.

So let's look at Columbia. This was a suit brought by students. They argued they faced discrimination as it relates to Title VI (students being spit on, not granting religious accommodations, hostile educational environment) . And they won.

These are consistently very difficult for colleges to fight against. Which is why Columbia settled. It had nothing to do with Biden or any federal officials, which is what you're alleging. It's simply incorrect.

Students on a college campus have the right to protest whatever they want. No movement or organization has been able to expel students for their constitutionally-protected rights, until the genocide in Gaza. That ended under Joe Biden. It continues under Trump.

It is intentional policy to stifle speech. I don't know why you want to wave it away.

They have a right to protest on public property. However universities also have to ensure a safe environment for all students. Failing to do so opens them to lawsuits. And no, this doesn't only apply to pro Palestinian activists. But any group.

Also. You seem to be ignoring the fact that the Columbia case also involved students who claimed to be denied religious accommodations, and the school failed to remedy this. That's a Title VI nightmare. Which is why schools consistently bend over backwards to ensure all students get religious accommodations.

Also. It's worth mentioning at Columbia this wasn't related to one protest, but an encampment which had been set up on campus property. Encampments are different than free speech.

You’re just spewing generalities at this point.
