Collective punishment, eh? Ban all foreigners because some of them are nasty?

Whoa, that oughta balance the budget AND get rid of racism and anti-Semitism, in one swell foop !
@Rajk999 saidAdmitting that the government is pressuring a private university to provide information to be used to punish students who engaged in protected political speech doesn't help its legal case.
You are also a supporter terrorism so I guess you wont be happy about it. Kristi Noem asked for information about students demonstrations in support of Hamas and Harvard refused so their 'Student and Exchange Visitor Program' certification was revoked.
@no1marauder saidI quite disagree. It is laughable that you consider the atmosphere of an institution of learning a place to push their 'political viewpoints' ** on everyone else, who are trying to find the cure for cancer. Politics? Politics is for sure your life's blood to accomplish Socialism, etc, but should you not do it in a place where college students who are learning , to be successful and contribute to society, maybe even get rich so they can donate to their college? Are. you with me? No, that is the Ameridan way, so, you are NOT with me.
Universities don't have "rights" of course but this illegal attempt to punish a university for the political viewpoints of some of their students is beyond any legitimate power ever given to the Executive Branch.
Expect another slapdown of Trump in the courts.
***Marauder, if they spew their 'viewpoints' can you tell us all how that has anything to do with us? If I go to the corner and start screaming that they should close national parks, do you care what I think? No, you do not. Please leave us the hell alone about Palestine and let us grow America/. Thankyou very much. (why do I think you own a hoody)
@no1marauder saidYes, likely that the President 'can't win 'em all', as the saying goes. We shall wait and see. Maybe he will win, say, 78%? That would be dam good, Marauder, as he tries to pull America together, skipping over all you naysayers as he travels the road......with 75M Americans in tow.
Expect another slapdown of Trump in the courts.
Why don't you pick one court case where he 'loses' and ride it into the ground.
How bout when you said Trump 'caved' with China in the tariff talks? Now they say that he let China get away with one point, so as to avoid a serious confrontation, knowing that his plan is to 'come back around' in the next phase. That is the sign of a genius negotiator. We shall see. For the record, Trump just put a 50% tariff on EU, he does not mess around. They apparently did not listen to him. You are prob upset that he did not tell us that he was going to do it!!!
Oh, while I have you, can you tell us how far Biden got with trying to end the Ukraine war??

@no1marauder saidThe application of that principle has already been tested in the courts. Demonstrating students have already been arrested and deported if they are on a student visa, for supporting FTOs. This issue is that 'support' is a wide term subject to all kinds of interpretation.
Admitting that the government is pressuring a private university to provide information to be used to punish students who engaged in protected political speech doesn't help its legal case.
Since the Trump administration started a few months now, college campuses that are notorious for their support for Hamas etc, have gone quiet. That tells you something ... most of the trouble-makers are foreign students who are in the US on a student visa. Let them study, pass their exams, and go home.
@AverageJoe1 saidThese forums would be so much easier for everyone if you went back to school to learn English.
Are you of the 'Answer Like Zahlanzi' school? Jesus. Did you just answer my question......does the college have rights to USA govt funding? Geez.

@moonbus saidActually the individuals who violated the law have already been arrested and some deported. The universities that turn a blind eye to these trouble-makers need to do something to control these demonstrations in favour of killing Americans, which is basically what terrorism about. Seems that they are getting the message because these demonstrations have virtually disappeared.

When they pass their exams and are back home in Iraq, Yemen etc, they can demonstrate all they like about killing Jews and Americans... just dont do it on American soil.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidWhy are you so prejudicially insane?
you might want to ask yourself... what has me supporting terrorists and supporting racists to the extent one group want to extinguish the other, constantly calling for killing them?
what happened to you?
@Mott-The-Hoople saidThat's exactly what it is.
“Political viewpoints”?
You fuking idiot
Perhaps, like AvJoe, you need to go back to school to learn English.

@no1marauder saidI have every confidence that Harvard Law School is well able to fend off this absurd interference into academic freedom.
Admitting that the government is pressuring a private university to provide information to be used to punish students who engaged in protected political speech doesn't help its legal case.

@Rajk999 saidWhy does marauder want disruptive students to be disruptive and disrupt all of their friends and the professors in a college that is trying to teach people how to grow and be successful in life. Why doesn't marauder want them to leave the premises.? Why does marauder want them to stay there and be disruptive or, am I missing something here? He appears to have some issue about politics. When I was in college. Everybody was there to learn. What are his peons therefore?

Why would observers of these activities give a crap about what they have to say?? Even one who might agree with them or one who might disagree with them, why would they care?
Further, what would these ashes expect people who are watching them to do?
