Leftist students at Wayne State University are demanding an apology from University President Kimberly Andrews Espy and the campus police for ending a pro-Hamas encampment.
These students, supported by the radical group Students for Justice in Palestine, have formed a committee to push their controversial agenda of divestment from Israel and to demand legal and mental health support for protestors who they claim are “victims” of police brutality.
According to a report by the campus newspaper, the uproar began after police shut down the encampment, prompting outcry from many leftist radicals on campus.
Mazin Alam, director of student services for the student government, presented the committee’s goals during a heated Senate meeting. The committee’s top priority is to provide a platform for SJP to meet with President Espy and push for divestment from Israel and demand an apology.
Despite cries of “police brutality,” the radical students failed to provide any examples of such an occurrence. Simply because these leftist students did not enjoy the consequences of their actions does not mean that they were brutalized.
Alam also emphasized the supposed need for so-called “safe spaces” for these radicals, claiming that they cannot trust the offerings of the Counseling and Psychological Services department due to concerns that staff may be Jewish or supportive of Israel.
Wayne State University’s encampment lasted less than one week–which despite being much shorter than encampments at other colleges throughout the country, was still far too long of a time period for the public institution’s leadership to cede campus control over to pro-Hamas lunatics.
Wayne State’s encampment was also one of the 14 schools that participated in a “reproductive justice” initiative led by Students for a Democratic Society. As first reported by Young America’s Foundation’s New Guard, this initiative oversaw the distribution of condoms and sex toys to “encampers” who couldn’t help but engage in intimate activities within their tents.
As the beginning of a new school year draws near, pro-Hamas activist organizations are making plans to resume their terror-supporting protests and riots nationwide. At Wayne State in particular, students have said they plan to “come back stronger than ever before.”
The New Guard is actively investigating how various schools intend to prevent the recurrence of such chaos and maintain campus order.
