Students are stupid: Columbia and U of Illinois students pass powerless anti-Israel referenda
2020-10-01


Columbia students pass university’s first-ever Israel boycott referendum

[IsraelTimes] Vote follows a federal complaint filed in December 2019 accusing the school of anti-Semitic discrimination.

#12  Columbia Heil! Butt-hurt minion
Says kaddish for buried opinion,
Sees Jews overstepping;
In protest, starts schlepping
Round campus a pet Palestinian.

#11  This time they'll probably come for the Christians before they come for the Jews.

#9  Dear federal government, please do not defund Columbia because our faculty and students are ignorant, posturing fools.

#6  *Heh* Student governments, as well as their Model UN's, love to cast these symbolic votes. If they try to vote on something the university administration wants they get bought off (individually) or stepped on hard.

#3  Come 11/3 and 1/20 these referenda could outline official US government policy of a Harris/Biden administration.

Don't get cocky.

#2   The total turnout is much higher than 11% of Columbus undergrads.

Whoops! You are absolutely correct, Omurt Sinatra7796. I looked at the number as the whole instead of only part of the total number of voters.

#1  The total turnout is much higher than 11% of Columbus undergrads. Closer to 30%.

Extremely high, actually, for a referendum that has nothing to do with typical undergraduate concerns like beer, sex, getting into medical school etc
