"A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday which would send “any person convicted of unlawful activity” at a college or university, to do community service in Gaza for six months."
"Strangely, the bill appears to refer to any “unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023” but does not specifically mention the ongoing student protests, rendering it stupidly broad."
"Ogles spoke with Fox News about the bill, saying that, “If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”
Ah so it's not about rights and freedoms, it's about the right opinions and the freedom of your side. The opinions of hypocrites can and should be discarded.
You have the right to peacefully protest. That's not what's going to get you shipped away.
What we have here though is far from peaceful and it's far from a protest. These are terrorist camps harrassing people for their ethnicity and beliefs and based on the arrest records that we're seeing, they're being heavily influenced by non-students and bad actors.
The opinions of useful idiots should not be considered.
What's your policy on useless idiots? It's a time sensitive question because I just saw this opinion I'm not sure what to do with
They're A rapidly growing subset of the useful version. And we are seeing repeatedly across college campuses where these idiots don't know what they're even protesting for or against. The number I've seen interviewed who can't identify which river or sea they are chanting about would be funny if they weren't promoting a genocide.
It is a fine line between useful and useless though, if you're not sure where you fall the default is useless.
Imagine caring about the suffering of others for no good reason.
