It’s cool how schools can’t punish pro-Nazi students because of the First Amendment but can mass arrest and suspend anti-war students because what First Amendment?🤔

@QasimRashid

The first story refers to a government school district that has to respect the first amendment.

The second story refers to Columbia University, a private institution that does not have the same restrictions.

Conflating them as “schools” is misleading your followers. And yeah, Columbia should sure as hell do better.

Why are private institutions in the US allowed to arrest people?

@Torjas @QasimRashid The demonstrators were not arrested by a private institution (Columbia University). They were arrested by the New York City police for their actions on the Columbia campus. Trespassing, essentially, and shame on Columbia.
