Anti-Israel Grads at Columbia Set Fire to Diplomas Outside Commencement, Two Arrested
“demanding freedom for Palestine and protesting the detainment of student activist Mahmoud Khalil”
Well, at least they’re admitting what their Columbia degrees are worth. Who is going to be eager to hire Columbia students in the coming years?
The College Fix reports:
Anti-Israel grads set fire to diplomas outside Columbia commencement, two arrested
Anti-Israel graduates ripped apart and set fire to their diplomas outside Columbia University’s Wednesday commencement, demanding freedom for Palestine and protesting the detainment of student activist Mahmoud Khalil.
“Outside Wednesday’s ceremony, which involved about 12,000 graduates and an estimated 25,000 family and friends, some newly minted anti-Israel grads continued the upheaval by torching their diplomas in protest, loudly booing, chanting and brandishing signs denouncing the Jewish state for alleged ‘atrocities’ committed in its war against Hamas,” the New York Post reported.
Police arrived to “maintain order” and arrested at least two rowdy protesters.

F;g morons.
What were their majors?
Not STEM
One of the diploma-burners was Jesse Pearce, who received her BA in anthropology from Barnard College last year, according to her LinkedIn
NY Post
Well, they don’t make draft cards anymore.
And don’t get me started on bras.
Please don’t tell us how many you burned. That would be too much information.
Does NYC’s fire code allow this sort of thing?
Why should any college allow their campus to be disrupted and trashed out under the pretense of free speech?
