Pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses have been met with suspensions, expulsions, and arrests. This week, Audie talks with two people in the middle of the story to understand how they view and talk about this moment. We hear from Krasimir Staykov, a junior and an activist at Pomona College in Claremont, California. He and others were arrested for staging a sit-in in the university president’s office. We also hear from Michael Roth, the president of Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT, about his approach to campus protest, and his response to protest language he finds offensive.

    Say the opposite of what CNN tells you to say.
  • @msmithy7813
    Whatever CNN tells you the opposite is most likely the best course of action.

    The influence of the media and cable news is core to the US two ruling factions’ ability to manage perception and control dissent among the US public.

    I believe the Bloods and Crips need to get involved.

    This is a real journalism because Audie Cornish give the news. She gives both sides of the story. I can respect this new report.
  • @tsetsefly2346
    Why does the media fear talking about news? And why this topic in particular? For most Americans under 50, this topic is not controversial at all and the right side of history is easy to distinguish.

    Here’s CNN to tell us how we should talk about something. Don’t think for yourself, do what CNN says.

    But is there no room in the world for a Jewish state? I do feel like activists who point out the irreconcilable contradiction between democracy and a state that prioritizes one ethnic group over another are playing a valuable role. BUT, give me a break, it’s virtually impossible to conceive of Israelis allowing the demise of a self-consciously Jewish state. the best solution is two states and some degree of partition and exchange of people/lands m. which should largely mean stripping Israel of settlements and providing Palestinians with a fair allotment of land. Maybe in a few generations could we talk about a multiethnic state, but it seems wildly unrealistic and naively idealistic to actually be attempting to achieve that now.

    That wasn’t a protest. It was an operation run by a terrorist network in response to me frustrating their com systems during 2020

    Can we get some of these students on prime time? This is the one time where I’ve seen not just someone talking to an actual student, but also giving them the space to properly air out their ideas

    CNN has done an awful job covering this issue. How embarrassing they put out this project.

    Don't think I need to listen to a 40 minute discussion on this subject. It's easy, Israel is wrong. #FreePalestine
