As the flames of social unrest continue to burn across the nation, a recent protest at Columbia University has caught the attention of many, particularly those with conservative viewpoints. Amidst the chaos and outcry, there are those who believe that there is more to this demonstration than meets the eye. In this article, we delve into the details of this contentious event and uncover the hidden agenda behind it, through a conservative lens.
The Columbia protest, which saw a group of students occupying a university building and disrupting classes, has been hailed by some as a brave act of civil disobedience. However, as a conservative, I cannot help but question the motivations behind such a disruptive and disrespectful display. Is this truly a fight for justice, or a calculated attempt to stir up controversy and divide the student body?

One of the main demands of the protesters was for the university to defund and disarm its campus police force. This demand, along with their other grievances, seems to be a misguided attack on law and order.
As conservatives, we value the importance of law enforcement and their crucial role in maintaining peace and protecting citizens. It is concerning to see young minds being influenced by radical ideologies that seek to dismantle our societal norms and institutions.

Furthermore, the protesters' behavior during the demonstration raises serious questions about their true intentions. Videos and reports have emerged of students hurling insults and aggressive behavior towards faculty and other students who did not support their cause. This type of behavior is not acceptable and only serves to divide our community further. As conservatives, we believe in the power of respectful discourse and productive dialogue, not violence and aggression.
What is even more troubling is the way in which these protesters have chosen to frame their demands. By labeling themselves as victims and casting the university as the oppressor, they have effectively silenced any opposing viewpoints. As a conservative, I believe in free speech and the exchange of ideas, but this one-sided narrative only serves to push their agenda and discredit anyone who disagrees.
It is also worth noting that the protest at Columbia seems to be just one in a string of similar events happening on college campuses across the country. This raises the question of who is behind these coordinated efforts and what their ultimate goal may be. As conservatives, we are aware of the tactics used by leftist groups to infiltrate and disrupt institutions. Could this be another attempt to push a radical agenda onto impressionable students?
In conclusion, the Columbia protest has shed light on the concerning trend of radicalization and division on college campuses. As conservatives, we stand for traditional values and the preservation of law and order. We urge students to think critically and not fall prey to manipulative tactics that seek to dismantle our society. Let us not forget that we are all part of a larger community and it is only through respectful discourse and unity that we can truly bring about positive change.
What are YOUR thoughts?
We want to hear from you! Please comment below to join the discussion.
It’s time for us to restart conscription,,, the same way they do it in Israel. that is, including women. Maybe that will drum some sense into these stupid, immature, radical morons. A few weeks under the eyes of a drill Sergeant “might” promote a few thoughts on the real meaning of responsibility. I doubt I am alone in saying I am sick and tired of these infants throwing their childish tantrums.
My thoughts are Soso is paying them to do this to our country. We need to get rid of these evil people.
All Universities who are experiencing disruptive behavior by students, should cancel all graduation events, terminate and withhold the issuance of diplomas. Shut the school down entirely and cancel out all the schol year, stating that all students will have to repeat their current year of studies and the university will be closed until further notice or until the fall. Students will think twice about what they are doing if they know they will not receive credit for the school year. Also, all issued grants to students will be cancelled.
