As campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war escalate, students and administrators are seeking guidance on how to respond. A look back at Governor Ronald Reagan’s handling of similar protests in 1969 provides valuable insights. Reagan’s decisive actions, including declaring a state of emergency and sending in the National Guard, restored order and set an example for how leaders can effectively address campus unrest.
A group called the NYU Palestine Solidarity Coalition is calling on students at New York University to walk out of classes Tuesday following violent anti-Israel protests that unfolded there last night. The group has posted on Instagram for students to walk out of class at 1 p.m. ET and head to Washington Square Park in Manhattan “to reflect, debrief [and] strategize.”
Anti-Israel protests at New York University’s campus turned violent Monday night when demonstrators hurled bottles at police officers who were sent to the scene to disperse a large unruly crowd, officials said. NYPD sources confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday that 133 demonstrators were arrested by police using zip ties and flex cuffs to remove the protesters from campus.
