> The student, who did not wish to be identified for fairly obvious reasons, said her name was listed on the truck because a club she was no longer a part of had signed onto an open letter urging Columbia to cut ties with Israel. So she signed an open letter, but didn't want her name to be attached to it? Isn't that the whole point of an open letter? And then she has the opportunity to speak with the press, and asks not to be identified while saying she no longer wants to be associated with the letter? I don't know what's going on with these kids.

The way I read that was, the club had signed the letter, not her directly.

  Oh, I read it as the club all signed the letter, and now she's not part of it anymore. Maybe I misread, but if you actually look at the letter, it's a Google form where individuals are encouraged to sign: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RcXX5DEO3yfJ9R4ksURnzpIPCyVxo575-Y-SoC_vZFk/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RcXX5DEO3yfJ9R4ksURnzpIP...

It's really not that hard to understand: She once was a member of an organization. She left that organization. After she left that organization, the members (no longer including her) signed a letter. She didn't sign it, since she was no longer a member. So how is it OK that she was named as a signatory? I don't know what's going on with people who use the term "these kids".
