The darn administration with their courses and classtimes! Disrupting the semester with education when that time should be spent on political activism! /s
It’s completely fine to protest in favor of your favorite political cause, but it’s a school. You can’t be camping outside (which leads to lots of trash getting disposed to carelessly, which harms to environment) or keeping other students from going to class.
The students concerned over this issue should be taking gap years and protesting outside the school instead of disrupting the education of others.
I am a student right now. I have personally never seen protestors preventing students from going to class. What I have seen however, is riot police called in by admin beating and arresting students that were peacefully protesting. That was certainly very disruptive to mine and their learning experience.
I’ve seen videos of both. For the record, I hate seeing the beatings, but campuses aren’t playgrounds for wannabe political activists. If they don’t want people staging protests on their property, even if it’s a public institution, they have a right to have those people removed.
Perhaps there are smaller and more innocuous protests that you’re witnessing, but the large ones are pretty disruptive, which is part of the reason why they made the news.
