      It’s unclear why you felt the need to act needlessly cruel. It’s even less clear what you get out of it.

        Almost certainly someone who chose not to go to college or didn’t get in and see people who spend the money and fail as vindication for themselves.

        Same reason people are against loan forgiveness.

          The thought of that had occurred to me but I tend not to say that directly to people just to avoid drama.

        University Professor with now “prior” students affected by today’s raid. The University is neither partisan to foreign events nor a place to take a building hostage for such. It just boggles my mind how anyone, including my prior students could both assume nothing would happen to them and to fall victim to feed such hatred. Hatred is not the answer, it’s a proven fact.

          Hatred? You think it’s hatred to request that a nation stops killing Palestinian children?

          Taking a building hostage, did you think the same when they protested Vietnam?

          Seems like your students will be in a better place now considering they won’t have to hear more of this drivel.

          Funny as a professor that your mind is boggled that a university could be a place for protest.
