Harvard students were punished by the university president for expressing unpopular opinions.
They STUDIED for an hour in a LIBRARY, with political messages taped to their laptops.
What if it had been only one student? What if the pro-Palestine message had been half as big? What if it had been half an hour?
There is no narrative worth the pixels it takes on a screen that makes this anything but direct, pure suppression of dissent. The students followed every rule, didn't do any of the things bullshit campus rules penalize in order to stop protests. They didn't block sidewalks, light candles, chant, march, or even (apparently) make anyone the least bit uncomfortable.
So the Harvard admin just flat-out punished them for expressing a political opinion.
