Title: Young People and free expression; Universities Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Apr 25, 2024 03:36 pm An interesting and meaningful result of the recent solar eclipse April 8, 2024 that I didn’t recognize till now; https://apple.news/Ayagtb5NBQpOfj0NbLO1YqQ Protesters arrested amid crackdown on pro-Palestine student rallies across US campuses At least 34 arrested at University of Texas in Austin and 50 more detained at University of Southern California while House speaker jeered at Columbia University. We were once giving the older generation our opinions but they were suppressed by many older ‘stick in the mud’ type people. They were also telling us to show some respect. But who turned out to have a more tolerant view of for instance; the will of the Viet Nam people? Who showed the most respect and honor for the will of the people in that part of the world then? Was it really Nixon or was it the young people who were murdered at Kent state because of their views? Respect and honor are given where they are due. Can we respect and give honor, helping them in their war efforts when they steal the property of another nation? When they annihilate another country? When we support that annihilation with our military industrial complex? "I pledge to you that we shall have an honorable end to the war in Vietnam." ~ President Nixon (Certainly not my idea of honor) Title: Re: Young People and free expression; Universities Post by: mccoy on Apr 29, 2024 11:48 pm I don't know that, but did the so-called free expression by the students infringe by chance any legal rules? It probably did, since the police intervened. |
