The recent events at Emory University have left many in shock and dismay as chaos and disorder broke out on campus. Videos circulating on social media show unruly students shouting and causing mayhem, with police officers having to intervene and make an arrest. But what is the real story behind these protests? As a conservative, I can't help but see this situation as a perfect example of the destructive nature of today's campus activism.
It all started with a group of students protesting against a visiting conservative speaker, claiming that his views were "hateful" and "offensive." But instead of peacefully expressing their disagreement, these students resorted to causing disruption and creating a hostile environment for both the speaker and those who wanted to attend the event. Is this what universities have become? A breeding ground for intolerant and close-minded individuals who can't handle opposing viewpoints?

As the chaos escalated, the police were called in to maintain order. And this is where the situation took a disturbing turn. One student, who was resisting arrest, was apprehended by the officers.
But instead of acknowledging their mistake and peacefully complying with the authorities, the rest of the protesters saw this as an opportunity to escalate the situation further. What happened to respecting law and order? What happened to understanding the consequences of one's actions?

But what is even more alarming is the reaction of the university administration. Instead of condemning the actions of the protesters and standing by the rule of law, they chose to side with the students and even went as far as apologizing for the "trauma" caused by the police presence on campus. This is the kind of behavior that perpetuates and enables this toxic campus activism. Where is the accountability for the actions of these students? Why are their disruptive and disrespectful behaviors being rewarded?
As a conservative, I believe in the value of free speech and open dialogue. It is through respectful and civil discourse that we can learn from each other and challenge our own beliefs. But what happened at Emory University was anything but that. These protesters claim to fight for tolerance and inclusivity, yet they resort to violence and disruption to silence those who hold different opinions. Is this really the kind of environment we want on our college campuses?
But let's not forget the bigger picture here. These campus protests are not just about a visiting speaker or a single event. They are part of a larger agenda to push a leftist ideology and silence any dissenting voices. And unfortunately, many universities have become a breeding ground for this kind of behavior, as seen at Emory University. It's time for universities to prioritize education and open-mindedness over political agendas and disruptive activism.
In conclusion, the recent events at Emory University have shown us the true face of campus protests from a conservative perspective. It is a sad reality that instead of promoting critical thinking and respectful discourse, universities have become a battleground for radical ideologies and intolerant behaviors. It's time for all of us to take a step back and reflect on what kind of environment we want for our future generations. Because if this is the future of our universities, then the future looks bleak indeed.
What are YOUR thoughts on the rioting?
We want to hear from you! Please comment below to join the discussion.
I believe our young people have been indoctrinated and are acting on what they have been taught by the school and the staff at the colleges. I don’t think they actually know the entire situation and the history of Israel and how Palestinians teach their children from birth to hate Israel and the United States. I believe they do not know that if they went to Palestine or the Iran or these muslim countries, they women would be suppressed and have no say and that anyone who is LGBT+ would be executed there. Maybe parents should have been aware of what their children were learning in college. This has become very dangerous for Jewish people living here. It’s like reliving the holocaust. If they can do this to the Jewish Religion then the Christians are next.
They are a product of thd US turning away from God, allowing godless idiots across out border, and trash like sorry george using their stolen money to finance the destruction of America and the Christian principles on which our country was founded.
They should arrest and put ALL the violent protestors in jail and prosecute them to fullest extent of the law and maybe they might calm down but sounds like they had done PROFESSIONAL agitators to me.
The demonstrations and activism at our universities is very disturbing indeed. I thought they were places of higher learning in preparation for our youths bright futures. After all, they are supposed to be our leaders of tomorrow. If these are our future leaders, heaven help us! There needs to be intervention, sooner than later, before there is nothing to save!
Universities should ban gatherings until l every student has been to a lecture, and signed a contract, stating that any unruly behavior will result in dismissal,(faculty included)

As a Christian this is what happens when GOD was taking out of our schools. This happened many years ago. And we have been seeing the results of this for years now. The Bible tells us this is going to happen centuries ago. The Bible is the holy word of GOD and what it says is truth. We need to stand on GODS word and this nation needs to get on her knees and repent for her sins. If this nation does that then GOD will according to his promise will heal our nation. I pray GOD will continue to bless our nation. Our only hope is through JESUS CHRIST our LORD AND SAVIOR. Amen
I am so tired of these radical leftist being allowed to do anything they want. They need to be met with consequences for their illegal actions, which includes non peaceful protests, hate speech, and terrorist threats. These students are totally out of control. It’s time for true constitutional Americans to reclaim our nation!!
95% of these “protestors” are blond haired, blue eyed & not even Jewish or Palestinian, yet they protest! They want to protest so much, move over there & see what Hamas really thinks of you blue haired freaks! They HATE gays, women, free speech, should I go on???
This is no longer the country I served in the Army from 1972 to 1994. Sadly something has drastically changed the attitudes of the Young People. God help us, we need to awaken these people to reality.

Unless these intentionally disruptive protests at universities are nipped in the bud, the safety of the public with an opposing view is at great risk. Police must allow peaceful protests, however, verbal and physical attacks cannot be tolerated.
Time to start dealing with these America-hating domestic terrorists in an appropriate manner – one that will ensure they can’t spew their hatred for Israel and the USA any more.
When you say “leftists”, you mean the followers of the Democratic platform. Let’s use the right terminology.
And none of this is surprising. The Democratic Party established Code Blue, it was listed on their party website. This was a program for funneling monies supporting the rioting that took place months ago across every major city in the nation. It promoted anarchy, civil disobedience and violence if it felt to be justified. This is not the Party of FDR, John Kennedy or Martin Luther King. It is the tool by which top party officials use to citron the dissatisfied masses. All in attempt to gain control of the Presidency, Congress and the Judiciary.
College campuses have long been supporters of “Progressive” ideology. They term it creative thinking. NO! Wrongo!
Creative thinking is not how to move forward demanding other people support the less fortunate. It is in being able to find ways in which the more fortunate can support betterment of all people in the humanities, sciences and arts. If you came to me demanding I give you my money, to the point of threatening me and attempting to injure me or take away my property, I will resist. YOU WOULD TOO! But, if you came to me asking for my support for a program that will use my money wisely, to the betterment of ALL people, and show me how that would also benefit me as well, then ask me how much I would be willing to offer as my first gift.
Oat abortions aren’t by women who were viciously attached or against young children. They are received by woman who acted carelessly in their sexual relations. Teaching children to be accepting of others despite their handicaps and differences is good. But to parade before them a man, dressed outlandish like some washed over glamour lady of the stage, who in reality looks more frightening or freaky to a young child is to teach them confusion. They miss the story being told because all the while they are laughing quietly at the freak in the room , or are terrorized it, or just left in total confusion of who or what this person is. They were presented confusion and the “leftist- progressives” think this is fine.
The different programs and agendas are as numerous as the stars in the sky. And they cannot all be supported by everyone. Oth ET wise, there is total chaos. We need to be a tolerant people learning to live together, not an intolerant people who each want their own way. The first way is the way of a mature mind: The latter, the mindset of a child.
Gays: keep you damn junk in your pants
Lesbians: keep you shirts on in parades.
Hold hands, kiss and keep the sex behind closed doors
Abortion Advocates: Take ownership of you actions. That is the way to have ownership of your body. Science is not on your side. The truly faith filled are not on your side. You chose to make it an issue where people must take sides: if pro-lifers are wrong, no harm done. Have your baby you don’t want and let someone who wants a child to be happy.
Staunch Right To Lifers: just keep praying for the sinners and the innocent lives lost.
To the poor who want to become richer: consider this. If you would take all the money from the 100 wealthiest Americans and gave it to the rest of the population, you would get $112. That’s fair enough isn’t, to steal someone’s dreams and the rewards for their own investments of time and money snd their creative minds. By the way, the government will take 25% of that do they can promote drag queens reading in classrooms, free tuition for all college students, free before school and after school care with breakfast and lunch(so you don’t have to raise your kid working so hard)
Was the riot something unbelievable? Was the college’s response unbelievable? No!what is unbelievable is the number of ignorant faith-less people who are happily mislead for their own undue selfish gain who call the good hard working devote and faith filled people hypocrites. This is not the country my ancestors came to for a better life. It’s ugly. My country is not ugly. Only some of its people are.

There are many disturbing things about these student’s behavior but one of the most alarming for me is their unwillingness or maybe it’s their inability to persuade others the correctness of their position.
