“nobody gets the right to block their fellow students from attending class”
Vance and Trump have both criticized this movement, but Harris and Walz are very silent because they need their votes.

J.D. Vance slams encampment protesters, calls for schools to ‘just enforce the law’
Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance recently critiqued anti-Israel student protesters at Columbia University, accusing them of harassing their fellow students.
Vance made the comments on Sept. 3 during an interview with Laura Ingraham of Fox News.
“Nobody gets the right to harass their fellow students,” Vance said during the segment. “Nobody gets a right to set up 10 encampments and turn their college campuses into garbage dumps.”
Vance also rebuked demonstrators around the nation who have blocked other students—particularly Jewish students—from walking around campus, including to their classes.
“And nobody gets the right to block their fellow students from attending class,” Vance continued. “This isn’t rocket science.”
During the interview, Vance advocated enforcing university policies against anti-Israel students who discriminate against Jewish students.
“Whether it’s anti-Jewish bigotry or any other form of bigotry, just enforce the law,” Vance said. “Make the crazy people protest within the First Amendment and within the legal frameworks that are appropriate, and so, as long as you do that, these college campuses are going to be fine.”
Campus Reform has reported about anti-Israel protests at Columbia’s campus in New York City, including one on Sept. 3 during which demonstrators vandalized a statue at the university’s Morningside Heights location.
“The first day of classes at Columbia University are drenched in blood,” a pro-Palestinian group posted online in the wake of the vandalism. “Protests are continuing against the school’s financial support for the zionist entity & repression of anti-zionist voices amid genocide. These photos show the Alma Mater statue at the library covered in paint.”

Hallelujah! Somebody with a microphone FINALLY said it!
I remember how freeing it was to walk around my college campus (40 years ago) and hang out with all types of people… so sad that this is what college has come to.
