Rhode Island School’s Pro-Palestinian Protest Comes to a Screeching Halt After President’s Ultimatum

As most college administrations bend the knee to the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protesters across the country, one college president took a markedly different -- and brave -- turn against the trend.

For weeks now, schools have been swamped by these destructive protests, which were shutting down classes, disrupting finals as the school year winds down, and even forcing the cancellation of some graduation exercises.

Tellingly, anywhere from one quarter to one half of these protesters are not even students in the schools at which they are protesting. Many are left-wing activists supported by anti-American billionaires such as George Soros.

Some schools have bent over backwards for these destructive, anti-Jewish student groups, allowing them to set up illegal tent encampments for weeks on end and causing all manner of disruptions on campus, not to mention leaving tons of garbage on the grounds in their wake.

But one college president in Rhode Island didn't put up with all this for very long, according to The Boston Globe.

More than two dozen students at the Rhode Island School of Design had thought it was a good idea to join the wave of protests against Jews by barricading themselves in a college campus building on Monday.

The students, who were part of Students for Justice in Palestine, demanded that the school formally condemn the "Israeli Occupation of Gaza as genocide" and demanded that the school endowment divest from companies that are "implicated in sustaining Israeli Apartheid," The Providence Journal reported.
