In the hallowed halls of Columbia University, where academic rigor is supposed to reign supreme, a different kind of chaos has taken hold. For far too long, radical students have run amok, believing they could disrupt classes and create havoc without facing repercussions. The Biden administration’s tepid response emboldened these campus warriors, allowing their antics to flourish unchecked. But with a new sheriff in town—President Donald Trump—the gloves are off, and the era of radical impunity is officially over.
Last week’s protest at Butler Library, where anti-Israel activists stormed in, is a stark reminder of how far these radicals have pushed their luck. Did they really think they could waltz in, climb on tables, and disrupt students preparing for finals? Apparently, they did. But the swift action of law enforcement, resulting in 80 arrests, shows that the days of coddling these unruly students are over.
These radical Democrats have been put on notice. The administration has signaled that illegal protests will not be tolerated. No longer can these so-called activists use higher education as a shield to spread their divisive rhetoric. They’ve run wild for too long, spouting their agenda without consideration for their peers or the larger community.
Take Harmony Cruz Bustamante, who lamented the police response. Cry me a river, Harmony. If your fellow protesters hadn’t disrupted others, they wouldn’t have faced backlash. The university is finally recognizing that it must protect students who want to learn.
Elias Taouli expressed sympathy for the protesters while condemning the violence. His remarks echo the frustrations of many students who feel that the radical left has hijacked campus discourse. With Trump’s administration back in the conversation, these radicals are facing a reckoning.
International students are understandably hesitant to speak out for fear of losing their visas. Mahmoud Khalil, a ringleader of last year’s protests, is proof of the consequences of crossing certain lines. Daniel David from Israel calls out the misguided nature of the protests, highlighting that if these radicals want to voice their opinions, they should do so without infringing on others’ rights.
The silent majority of students who are fed up with chaos is finally finding their voice. To the radical left, consider this your warning: the days of unchecked disruption are over. Welcome to the new era of campus life, where the pursuit of knowledge takes precedence over radical agendas.
