Protesting is not encampments, protesting doesn’t include vandalism, protesting doesn’t include inciting hate.

@penocruz4981 and what does that have to do with you misunderstanding the 1st Amendment?

[@beratnabodhi]

@@penocruz4981 LMAO! You're funny! You simply change topics when you're asked a question you can't answer? WHO are you referring to when you say, "y"all?" You asked a question, I asked for clarification. WTF is wrong with you? What does your question have to do with your original misunderstanding of the amendment?

Why do they protest here? They should go protesting to Benjamin Netanyahu.

There wouldn't be a strain on the system if the system didn't wipe its proverbial ass with the 1st Amendment.

I wander if this lady would say the same thing if anti BLM students behaved in the same manner.

[@Cactus24844]

They need to get an education first! Most of them are ill- informed and clueless! One young girl at UTD was talking about "genocide". Does she know what she was talking about? If she's here to study then get an education. If she's worried about "her people" in Gaza, that's where she should be.
