You should be ashamed of yourself for insinuating otherwise. If you want to stand against terrorism, you're welcome to do so. Emotions are running high at Columbia University where protests have entered their sixth day. It started last week with a pro-Palestinian encampment happening on the quad. The Ivy League school switched to remote learning today as tensions over the Israel-Hamas war rise. Meanwhile, up and down the East Coast, those protests are spreading, inspired by the action at Columbia. Pro-Palestinian camps are also now set up at three prestigious Massachusetts schools—Tufts University, Emerson College, and MIT. But at nearby Harvard, the university is trying to stop such protests before they start. Harvard Yard, an iconic part of campus, is closed today. A sign warns that tents and tables will not be allowed.
