Like the Energizer Bunny, the campus insanity just keeps going and going … this time at Columbia.
Students are claiming that they have been “pestered” to join class walk-outs “or risk social isolation,” The New York Post reports.
The Columbia protests, like many others on campuses across the country, are in solidarity with those at the University of Missouri, Yale, and other colleges.
“There’s been a campaign of intimidation, where students are going dorm to dorm, floor to floor and asking students to go back to their dorms and put on black if they’re not wearing black,” the parent of one student said.
“My daughter told me people are uneasy and fearful,” she added.
From the report:
Some students felt caught between their politics and academic responsibilities.
“We support them, but we’re here to learn,” said one senior who declined to give her name. “There’s a divide among students. People who are not willing to walk out are seen as not supporting the movement.”
One freshman said, “Some students were asking if I knew about the protest and why I wasn’t there. It was just my choice. I’m not really the protest type.”
Hundreds of Columbia students gathered at the South Lawn Thursday, and some speakers heckled bystanders who did not participate.
“Look at those guys playing Frisbee — that is the definition of privilege,” said one speaker.
The students stopped playing Frisbee and left the area.
Another student wearing a T-shirt with the words “Kill White Supremacy” called Columbia a “white supremacist institution.”
The speaker continued, saying “I love black people, I love all black people,” and then added “I love black criminals” and “I love black people who steal.”
Now that is a surefire way to attract folks to the cause, eh?
