    Student loan forgiveness at its best.
  • @TX93_
    one of the kids "we are pretty educated" obviously not if yall think making genocidal chants is freedom of speech.... then trying to push and assault cops.... like what remove them charge them and I hope no employer ever hires them
  • Defend Universities, and Abolish the Teachers Union and the NEA!
  • @joyoliver6212
    U shouldn't be protesting, unless your ungrateful to be in the US. Anyone that is protesting should be sent out of the US.
  • @kenthuffman
    I'm embarrassed for my alma mater, Texas State. I never thought my school would stoop to this level. Hamas is a terror organization and shouldn't be celebrated.
  • First place this is America we cannot be involved in so many wars and to the students hold the line
  • @papajohn365
    UT is inundated with spoiled brats and outside agitators.
  • @bible1st
    They should be protesting against war in general but instead they are protesting against Israel who was attacked first. Strange times.
  • @lizkim1546
    My opinion. If they are so adamant with their stance, go make your stand where it might count. USA and Canada are dealing with same issues. If protesters are from there, send them back, don’t bring your problems here. Don’t try to make here the same as there from which you left.
  • @jimmyolsen5897
    What about empathy for the 1300 American and Israeli that were killed raped and tortured by Hamas on October seventh

  • I didnt go to college like them, but from a distance it sounds like they are advocating for Hamas. To be sure, placing these "students" on FISA list is really prudent.
