Florida university leaders ask schools not to cancel, modify graduation ceremonies due to protests

Published 2024-05-02
At least 200 people were arrested overnight at UCLA, bringing the nationwide total of arrests to more than 2,000 at dozens of college campuses since police cleared an encampment at Columbia University in mid-April, according to a tally by The Associated Press. Many of those individuals are not college students, but people police describe as “outside agitators.”

    Protesters have marched in the streets concerning the issue of “Free Palestine”. Why haven't college students stepped up to the plate and addressed these very important issues in America? Their motives may be sincere but the importance of the issues they choose to protest is lacking. How about switching your sign to read: “Save America” against the invasion of 8-10 million “illegal” people, from around the world, across an open border, including criminals , “want to be” terrorists , and fentanyl drug smugglers? Fentanyl ( a synthetic chemical drug) kills 75,000 young Americans ( age 15-44) each year. 300,000 families will bury their children during Joe Biden’s Presidential term. Looks like America comes in second place for important protest issues.
