You've probably seen the story about the students who've holed themselves up at NYU. If it's not strange enough for you why students would feel compelled to do this because of university “transparency” issues with their finances, then maybe this is even more strange:
The protesters also have made the Palestinian-Israeli conflict part of their cause, demanding the university donate "excess supplies and materials" to help rebuild a university damaged in December by Israeli air raids. They also want NYU to provide annual scholarships to Palestinian students, beginning in the 2009-10 school year.
http://wcbstv.com/cbs2crew/nyu.protest.police.2.939419.htmlWhat?? What does the Palestinian-Israeli issue have to do with student gripes against the university? Seems like that demand kind of came out of left field, if you ask me...
I had not even heard of this. Glad you brought it up, I needed a good laugh.Most liberals are idiots looking for a cause, any cause, is my personal opinion. They are mostly good for amusement until they start infringing on my rights.
I would label these goofs terrorists since they are making political demands. Could see the Patriot Act used in this instance.
True, I didn't think of that….but then again, I don't think they're threatening anyone with physical harm. Right now they're basically trespassers since they've taken over a section of the university. One of the best things the university could have done was to turn off their internet access and then ignore them.
