Student encampments have the potential to strengthen US democracy
Instead of defending the right to protest, many centrists are delegitimizing students, despite the value of what they’re doingJan-Werner Müller (The Guardian)

#POTUS #Biden is set to give a speech on May 7 at a ceremony commemorating the Holocaust.
#DouglasEmhoff, husband of VP #KamalaHarris, said at an event in New York on Wednesday that, "We’re in favor of the right to #protest. But when that crosses into #violence — when that crosse into calls for genocide, calls for Jews to be murdered, that’s completely unacceptable & must be stopped.”

Regardless of one's position on the ongoings in middle east, is disingenuous at best to lobby for #censorship of #protest as a way to deter #antisemitism.
If anything, this feeds into common stereotypes, and w/likely have a complete opposite effect IMHO (unfortunately).
A University of Georgia student was sent this notice of interim suspension after he was arrested Monday at a protest.
The email at 5:09 pm asked him to explain why he shouldn't be suspended by 5:10 pm or it would go into effect at 5:11 pm.

Columbia University president says negotiations with pro-Palestinian protesters have stalled, school will not divest from Israel.
NBC News reports: "Columbia was the first elite institution [in the U.S.] struck by protests in support of the Palestinian cause, with students demanding that the school divest from investments in weapons manufacturing and that support Israel amid the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war, in which more than 34,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip. Protests spread quickly last week on campuses from coast to coast, resulting in mass arrests and crackdowns."

I've been drawing strips for years about attacks on students' right to protest, yet strangely I've never been invited to give a TED Talk, speak at an "ideas festival," or pen a column for the Atlantic.

University of #Connecticut injured #disabled student protester:
“I have disabled #students participating in the peaceful encampment/protests #UConn. When cops arrived they put hands on one of my disabled students & dislocated their shoulder. This student is still there, but injured. If UConn says there are no injuries, that is a lie …. this student wants this known and I am sharing with permission”

It adds up to profound questions over what it means to be a young Jew in America in 2024. For some, the overriding feeling is one of fear and pain. Others have joined with the protesters, seeing the opposition to the war in Gaza as an opportunity to live out Jewish values taught growing up about justice and the value of human life. And many others are conflicted, seeing nuance when it feels like so many around them see black and white.
