The recent events at Emory University have left many in shock and dismay as chaos and disorder broke out on campus. Videos circulating on social media show unruly students shouting and causing mayhem, with police officers having to intervene and make an arrest. But what is the real story behind these protests? As a conservative, I can't help but see this situation as a perfect example of the destructive nature of today's campus activism.
It all started with a group of students protesting against a visiting conservative speaker, claiming that his views were "hateful" and "offensive." But instead of peacefully expressing their disagreement, these students resorted to causing disruption and creating a hostile environment for both the speaker and those who wanted to attend the event. Is this what universities have become? A breeding ground for intolerant and close-minded individuals who can't handle opposing viewpoints?

As the chaos escalated, the police were called in to maintain order. And this is where the situation took a disturbing turn. One student, who was resisting arrest, was apprehended by the officers.
But instead of acknowledging their mistake and peacefully complying with the authorities, the rest of the protesters saw this as an opportunity to escalate the situation further. What happened to respecting law and order? What happened to understanding the consequences of one's actions?

But what is even more alarming is the reaction of the university administration. Instead of condemning the actions of the protesters and standing by the rule of law, they chose to side with the students and even went as far as apologizing for the "trauma" caused by the police presence on campus. This is the kind of behavior that perpetuates and enables this toxic campus activism. Where is the accountability for the actions of these students? Why are their disruptive and disrespectful behaviors being rewarded?
As a conservative, I believe in the value of free speech and open dialogue. It is through respectful and civil discourse that we can learn from each other and challenge our own beliefs. But what happened at Emory University was anything but that. These protesters claim to fight for tolerance and inclusivity, yet they resort to violence and disruption to silence those who hold different opinions. Is this really the kind of environment we want on our college campuses?
But let's not forget the bigger picture here. These campus protests are not just about a visiting speaker or a single event. They are part of a larger agenda to push a leftist ideology and silence any dissenting voices. And unfortunately, many universities have become a breeding ground for this kind of behavior, as seen at Emory University. It's time for universities to prioritize education and open-mindedness over political agendas and disruptive activism.
In conclusion, the recent events at Emory University have shown us the true face of campus protests from a conservative perspective. It is a sad reality that instead of promoting critical thinking and respectful discourse, universities have become a battleground for radical ideologies and intolerant behaviors. It's time for all of us to take a step back and reflect on what kind of environment we want for our future generations. Because if this is the future of our universities, then the future looks bleak indeed.
What are YOUR thoughts on the rioting?
We want to hear from you! Please comment below to join the discussion.
It’s UNBELIEVABLE that American students would support rape, torture — and even cooking babies alive in the oven!!!! All that and MORE done by the evil Hamas WITH Palestinian support.
END ANY & ALL FED FUNDING OF UNIVERSITIES THA PROMOTE OR TOLERATE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR. WE ARE NOT A NATION OF NATZIES. THIS IS REMINISENT OF WW2 BRAINWASHING.
Thank you for sharing your opinion. To me it hit the nail on the head. There is so much disrespect going on by all ages (below 50), races, and genders. I’m not against people speaking up against something but do it in a peaceful way. What has this country come to. Why do you think you are right to resound like you are. You are not right. Current president and past president’s, house members, senate, council members and all other political affiliates have messed up this country trying to control everything. These protests are because if our government interference. We need to figure out how to fix all of this together. Not with violence.
Administration needs to be replaced with responsible leadership. Students engaging in this behavior need to suffer severe consequences, otherwise they are not being “educated” or gaining maturity. They are being allowed to remain in a childish (think 2-yr old) self-centered state.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE EDUCATION SYSTWM TODAY. ACTUALLY IT’S NOT EDUCATION, IT’S INDOCTRINATION AND DUMBING DOWN.
There’s a money trail. It needs to be followed to find those truly responsible for the chaos and disorder on our college campuses. The tents didn’t come out of cereal boxes, food, drinks, all the accoutrements of divisive rioting had to be paid for somehow. Students who need their loans forgiven shouldn’t have the wherewithal to buy these things.
Suspensions are not going to be strong enough deterrents. Expulsion might be more effective. Having to go home to mom and dad and explaining how they got shut out of their college curriculum might be more of a stopping block of their behavior beyond peaceful protest.
These kids want to be adults. Let them enjoy the results adults would receive for this action. Catch and release doesn’t work, so hold them for trial, and let them be sentenced and treated as adults and enjoy the rewards bestowed under civil law for their action.
Why hasn’t the moron in the White House called out the National Guard? Has anyone told him how serious this is? I hope Netanyahu sticks to his promise to destroy Hamas. They started this and their henchmen have brought it to America. We must stand with Israel who has always stood with us.
This has been going on for years. The Democrats have allowed communist and socialist teachers to indoctrinate our colleges and universities! Democrats will not listen to the other side, it’s their views and opinions only! Americans need to stand up and vote out these Democrats!
Conservative parents should pull there children out and there funding. Conservative alumni should pull all there money from EMORY.
