Comment on Education
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 6 months agoThere’s massive student protests for Palestine going on at American universities right now. The universities are calling in the police to arrest their students. Some have locked down their universities and moved to online-only lessons to ignore the protests.

Why do they care so much about the protests that they are having the students arrested? I don’t get it. Just let them protest

Protest is generly seen as criminal in the US in my experience. The average person is unable to see the bigger picture that protest slot into and even in cases like this where nobody is inconvenienced somebody or some institution will cry about it.

Yep. A lot of people are uninformed and see protest as a disruption. Most people, even educated have tunnel vision sometimes. The people that get the big picture and are empathetic or considerate the ones who protest.

US is not a freedom country, it is religious country. France is freedom country. “Liberté, égalité, fraternité”.

I guess the graduation ceremony is coming up or something.

Students are walking out of class and “occupying” spaces, joined by non-campus outsiders sometimes. Police are calling it trespassing and arresting them if they don’t disperse.
