Funny, I thought it showed a highly immature person with behavior unacceptable for junior high.
If either of my children (one in junior high, the the other in high school) acted that way, they would be punished for a long time.
If he were one of my children he’d have been punished for a long time too 
This I agree with. But then I am sure (I hope!) that a lot of schools are probably drafting protests guidelines and disciplinary actions in the student handbooks to close any such loopholes from happening based on the large number of such sit-ins that happened this year.
Looks like Brandeis wins the longevity challenge, with a 12 day sit-in (over the holiday too). It appears to have gotten results: http://www.boston.com/news/education/2015/12/01/brandeis-students-end-day-sit-after-administrators-respond-demands/DS0XCP14JViWldjagkW3VM/story.html
I do not endorse her behavior. I understand her viewpoint and why she behaved that way. Those are two very different things. People have personality differences that have nothing to do with maturity. I have seen people yell for way way less, so I cannot judge her harshly sorry.
Although, I am perplexed why there is so much uproar about shouting at an administrator.
Because it’s uncivilized.
So, let me see if I understand this: it’s not bad enough that your child - or, any child, for that matter - should feel angry and frustrated; they should also be punished for feeing angry and frustrated. That’s smart.
@circuitrider ^ that was hegegebe - not Pizzagirl.
^^Thanks. Correction made. 
No, they don’t get punished for being angry and frustrated. They get punished for acting out in immature and socially unacceptable ways.
When you get to the point where you can understand the difference, let me know.
At Wesleyan, the president actually took part in the protest outside his own office. It remains to be seen whether sympathy is an adequate response for dealing with the disaffected. But, it’s worth trying, IMO.
I highly doubt that banning protest, even in the form of sit-ins, is being considered anywhere.
Here is a free speech issue. Woman called in death threats at a New Jersey campus, is arrested.

Any in the pro-BLM crowd want to defend her?
I’m not seeing the words, 'Princeton student" anywhere in your post.
@zinhead no I don’t want to defend her. What do you think about gun control after the mass murder a few hours ago in California? Gun control could help to keep active shooters away from our kids at the universities like Kean or Princeton.
- Not a Princeton student
- I highly doubt anyone in the protest wants to defend her - in fact I'm sure they're pretty mad at her
- She's been arrested. Her troubles are just beginning. I doubt anyone would argue that she shouldn't have been, I certainly won't.
…and I’m not seeing an answer to Zinhead’s question in yours.
My advice would be to start your own thread instead of hijacking a highly successful one.
Got to love this. They can discuss tea partiers, conservative Congressman and the like, but when one of their losers does something then all of a sudden 1) not a Princeton student and 2) stop hijacking the thread. This people are hilarious. No wonder those Princeton students cannot think worth beans - look at who is training them.
Well, I guess this begs the question just what a socially acceptable way of acting out anger and frustration would look like?
