    I’ve lost so much respect for these colleges.
  • End federal funding for schools with 50 billion dollar endowments. Why are these institutions receiving a single penny of taxpayers' funds?
  • @plus1truth
    Remember, you can do this only because you are in the USA
  • @joanyow7952
    does she know her own country is being occupied
  • Stop fiancing Harvard. Take the money off the table - and "protesting" is no longer on the table.
  • Walked for a foreign country but not for the country they live in and will be paying student loans/taxes in. 🤦🏼‍♀️

    They don’t realize that all the jobs are gone. When they wake up to reality the only thing they have to look forward to are the government breadlines next year

    "The right to civil disobedience on campus." Does she know that civil disobedience means "breaking the law"? Does she know that no one has a right to break the law? What a doofus.

    Goodbye Harvard. You are the bottom of the Barrel. That's what happens when you become a Hedge fund and lost the status of an educational institution.
  • These are the future Leaders of the country…..why do I not feel proud?
  • @user-ll8be9vt4u
    These are the same kids crying because they "couldn't walk" at their HS graduation due to Covid. As far as the 13 are concerned, they broke the law....

    After failing to attend classes due to their silly activism, failed students boycott the commencement they hadn’t earned. After leaving in a huff, these silly failed students went home and threw their toys, in a calculated bid to make their disappointed parents end the war in Gaza.

    I think you’ve done a beautiful thing for HUMANITY, well done students - keep doing your thing for the voice of peace and freedom for all. You’re a beacon of hope and i am optimistic for our future, which is what you are.

    Why do not they talk about freeing the hostages and stopping the war?
  • @petechau9616
    What a wonderful way to give thanks to the school and alumni of the school.
  • @dinahretodo523
    🤔 and these are so called “HARVARD” graduates 🎓???!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ IT’S JUST SAD ALL AROUND!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Let them walk... I agree... Several corporations have already come out in public and stated that they will no longer hire Harvard Grads. They listed the so-called "built-in" expense of a Harvard grad and also the very obvious disconnect individuals have with how business works and what is expected from an employee. Even worse these very students have very little education about the history of the region and are simply spouting the talking points of Hamas. By all means speak out for the issues you believe in, protest til your little hearts content, but learn the issues first, and never ever risk your education or the reputation of your school.
