Columbia University is locked down. Only students and faculty can enter. Pro-Palestinian student protesters have set up an encampment on the lawns in front of the dorms. The entire perimeter of the campus is being protected by security guards. Last night, at a rally in the middle of the Quad, three Jewish students passed by the speaker on their way back to their dorms. When he saw them, the speaker called on the crowd to form a human chain with him, to keep the women away from what he called, “our community.”
RIGHT ON!! I have been wondering the same things! Thank you for putting my thoughts into words, as only you seem to be able to do. I did not know that about the 3 Jewish students and I am appalled…and stunned… The current state of affairs is incomprehensible to me.
My college years began in 1968, at Goddard College in Vermont. You may have heard of it.
Yes, the war in Vietnam was the rallying point but our generation brought about a LOT of good change to the status quo of the time.
Now we are seeing it break down - brick by brick and leg by leg, as you put it - and it’s crushing me. 💔
Powerful post!
