.IF COLUMBIA COLLEGE’S president, Minouche Shafik, thought that pro-Palestinian presentations would diminish after she consulted New york city City cops on April 18th, she was wrong. The outdoors tents are actually back and protesters are actually emboldened: in the very early hours of April 30th they occupied an educational institution property, barred its doors and also curtained a banner reading “intifada” from its own front view. Since the begin of the battle in Gaza there have actually been actually protests at colleges all over The United States and also, at a number of them, apprehensions.
Students say, in some cases rightly and also occasionally wrongly, that they are actually exercising their free-speech legal rights. What plans control demonstration and also speech on school?
