  That is crazy Orwellian. "We have an obligation to your parents to keep you safe, so we're going to beat you with batons and shoot pepper spray down your throats".

    It's especially bizarre given that the majority of college students are 18+. What obligation do you have to the parents of a 20 year old? Your obligations are solely to your students.

      In theory, college students are adults. These kids, though, don't seem to be acting like it. They think they're playing a game.

        No, they don't. They are fully aware of what they are doing, the history behind it, and the possible consequences of their actions. They are doing it because it is the right thing to do. In a time such as this, where the only voice you are left with is protest, then protest is the right way to use your voice.

  This is a pretty strange sentence: We are even more saddened by the events that subsequently transpired to facilitate their removal. The only sentence in the statement that seems to actually refer to the actions being criticized, and written in the most indirect/vague possible manner.
