    Rutgers and Brown are left-wing progressive schools. The University of Mississippi is not.

    And even left-wing Columbia University was a segregated school until students occupied the same building they recently occupied until police cleared it out and their demands were met.

    Your idea that peaceful, respectful protest always gets people what they want is not borne out by history. If it were, SCOTUS would not have struck down Roe v. Wade.

      yeah, and causing a scene, committing violence, and holding up classes sure worked well for the students at university of mississippi.

        You still haven’t told me what they should have done to actually achieve their goals.

        You’ve told me they should have politely protested but the university didn’t have to listen to them. Looks like the university is listening now.

        So, again, what should they have done to actually achieve their goals?

        Don’t tell me what you wanted them to do or what you don’t like them doing. Tell me how they should have gone about it in order to have a good chance of success.
