This is more intellectually lazy then your usual work so I thought I would comment here.

"One that produces good little soldiers who will do - without asking why" the whole point of a protest is to ask WHY, not do. As you can clearly read, see and hear from the original protestors demands at Columbia they want to divest their College's endowment from Israeli holdings (see: https://cuapartheiddivest.org/demands ) .

Every single argument you make after this is based on how you perceive the protestors and how they affect your sensibilities. If Charlie Kirk, Stephen Crowder or some other right wing pundit was being silenced by police for speaking out at college what side would you take? I'm sure you wouldn't be out here writing about how those speakers need to behave and are acting like loonies.
