The Issue: Piers Morgan’s op-ed demanding accountability from the parents of pupil protesters.
I laughed portion speechmaking Piers Morgan inquire astir the parents of the protesting students astatine Columbia (“Where the hellhole are their parents?!” May 1).
The reply is that the parents either don’t attraction oregon really enactment what their spoiled and clueless offspring are doing. Morgan besides asks wherever Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is. He’s missing, disconnected chasing erstwhile President Donald Trump astatine the bidding of President Biden’s administration.
Instead, Morgan should absorption much connected Columbia’s craven President Minouche Shafik and her cowardly cohorts, who are letting this obscene and disgraceful show against motivation decency play retired wholly unopposed.
But not to worry. The lukewarm play volition soon beryllium upon america and the mob volition people dissipate arsenic its members question retired summertime vacation.

Piers Morgan asks, “Where are the parents?” But I judge a amended question is, “Who are these students?”
I judge that fractional of these “students” are not truly students astatine all. I request that the percent of students and non-students taken into custody beryllium publically released — not conscionable successful New York, but nationwide.

Firstly, was the question “Where are the parents?” applicable during the 1968 Columbia protests? No, it wasn’t.
Secondly, Morgan misinterprets the connection “intifada.” Yes, intifada means “uprising” successful Arabic — but these protests are an uprising against the genocide of the Palestinian people, not Jews.
And to reply his enquiry astir wherefore Jewish radical protestation against Israel: It’s due to the fact that they are opposed to genocide, similar Dartmouth College’s caput of Jewish studies —who was arrested and banned from Dartmouth for defending her pro-Palestinian students.

I deliberation that the families of the students progressive successful the damages to the spot of their schools should beryllium held liable for paying the costs to repair those damages. I deliberation their families would enactment a precise speedy extremity to their information if they person to wage for it.

The Issue: President Biden’s code condemning the pupil protests for promoting civilian disorder.
President Biden acts purely connected governmental calculus (“Slow Joe: we indispensable person order,” May 3).
Hence his hold and refusal to candidly talk retired against antisemitism and the transgression riots going connected astatine universities each crossed the state implicit these past respective weeks. Biden and his incompetent advisers archetypal person to trial the governmental waters to spot however radical-left Democrats volition respond to immoderate condemnation of the heinous anti-Zionist code and acts that are occurring.
This besides explains his indecision, hold and outright refusal to afloat condemn the students and extracurricular agitators who are wreaking havoc connected our nation’s assemblage campuses. “Politics implicit principle” is President Biden’s mantra.

With each the field antisemitism going on, President Biden gave different speech.
But since this field antisemitism violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, wherefore hasn’t helium ordered the Justice Department to spell aft these US-flag-burning antisemites and their enablers, similar however helium went aft the Jan. 6 rioters? He could person besides dispatched the US Marshals, overmuch similar then-President Dwight Eisenhower did astatine Little Rock successful 1954.
