The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — One of the two Black lawmakers briefly expelled from Tennessee’s GOP-controlled Statehouse last year will remain on the 2024 ballot after overcoming a challenge from a Republican opponent.

Earlier this year, Rep. Justin Jones submitted 26 signatures to Nashville election officials in order to qualify to run as a Democratic candidate. He needed at least 25 signatures from verified voters in his district.

After one of Jones’ signatures was disqualified, Republican challenger Laura Nelson filed a complaint challenging the validity of 10 others.

I'm surprised it took this long. No student should be unsafe in moving around campus. I hope to see this on the other campuses as well.

Columbia University student files class action lawsuit against school to protect Jews on campus

Protecting speech is fine. Allowing students to interfere with other students' rights is not.

I think this is one thing that both sides can agree on: administration response has been heavy-handed.

College campuses have always been hotbeds of ideological purity, I understand the emotions involved when presented with a world view you feel is grossly unfair.

The administration has not given students a consistent message. The rules are clear, their enforcement of rules has not been.. if the students break the rules, then they should face consequences and then be removed if they persist.

Students at UCLA and Northwestern have been rewarded for breaking the rules... Why? What is the point of having rules and why would any student adhere to them?

Overall, the only heavy handed reaction (and that's a stretch) I've seen was from UT Austin.

Adding : how does removing Hummus from the Cafeteria advance the Palestinian needs?

Hotwheels Hitler called out the Texas Rangers at the first sign of student protest at UT-Austin. And to think Abbott was all free-speech-uber-alles as recently as 2019 (when conservative think tanks paid to have ultra-right zealots preach their hate gospel at Texas public colleges). Absolute over-reaction, probably unconstitional.

The NYPD also overreached at Columbia from what I've read.

That CNN piece is bullshit. "How protestors are normally dealt with" is called established rules and processes.

The only thing that matters from the administrative is what the rules are and whether they are enforced consistently and clearly. Protestors are required to follow the rules and if they don't, there are established punishments and beyond that.possible expulsion and removal.

I support protesting, but if you move outside of the rules, it becomes civil disobedience. And you should expect to be suspended, expelled or jailed.

Now if you want the rules to be whatever protestors want them to be, you get what happened at UCLA.

The students that make an unsafe environment for students and faculty by obstructing or engaging students for any reason (for example, blocking a Jewish professor from freely moving around campus), there should be clear suspension steps engaged.

I worked in a branch of law enforcement, and that idiot cop just opened up himself and his department to a lawsuit.

That is not how you treat a handcuffed individual who is being uncooperative with being moved. (The cop also put himself at great risk of injury).

There is sooooo much FAIL by the cop in that video.
