Power of NO: Colleges are finally starting to stand up to students and punish them for acting like brats

Things reached parody level in Nashville when students called 911 because one of them needed to change her tampon.

"It seems like we are finally seeing the return of one of the most important words you can hear on a college campus: “No.”

"Last week, some 150 students at Pomona College, a liberal arts school in Claremont, California, stormed the building that houses school president Gabrielle Starr’s office — and refused to leave, in protest of the removal of pro-Palestinian art on the campus.

"Starr did not shrink from the invaders, who were filming her. Instead, she confronted the students, issuing a warning.

" 'If you do not leave within the next ten minutes, every student in this building is immediately suspended from this institution,” she said in a video posted on X, adding that students from outside schools will be banned from campus.

"She put her foot down and showed that, on her watch, actions have consequences.

"Starr’s warning came after swarms of pro-Palestinian students at Vanderbilt University pushed past a security guard and occupied Kirkland Hall, the site of the chancellor’s office, late last month.

"Things reached parody level in Nashville when students called 911 because one of them needed to change her tampon. Four were arrested; three were expelled, one suspended and 22 given disciplinary probation." . . .
