Yes, clearly, ousting the Columbia leadership will make all of these protests magically stop.

Like the mass arrests of peaceful protestors at various universities, calls for resignation are just so the media has something to latch onto to keep creating their narrative that the protests are unpeaceful.
This was exemplified on NPR the other dat when one of the talking heads said something to the effect of “There have been arrests at some universities while others have been peaceful.”
Which seems an innocuous enough distinction to a listener who doesn’t understand that the protests with arrests have been peaceful as well.
Corporate media thinks their old semantic tricks will be enough to keep people understanding the truth but I think most of us can feel things have shifted beyond that generally.
