For years, we have discussed the failure of universities to take actions against faculty and students shutting down events or acting unlawfully, including faculty guilty of criminal assault. Now, Vanderbilt has expelled three students after anti-Israel protests, including Jack Petocz, a political activist recognized by the White House and featured prominently in the New York Times and other news outlets.
According to the Vanderbilt Hustler and The College Fix, the students were arrested for allegedly assaulting a security guard amid raucous anti-Israel protests inside an Administration building late last month.
A security video shows a security officer overwhelmed as he tried to keep protesters out of Kirkland Hall.
The officer is shown being pushed down the hall before leaving the frame of the video camera.
Petocz posted a denial on X:
“I did not touch a community service officer, nor am I anywhere near the individual in the video. I’d implore you to trust a student activist over rich, powerful, white men, but that’s your choice.”
He insisted that he and the other students were only “peacefully protesting the genocide in Palestine.”
Petocz’s activism, including opposing the Florida parental rights law, has been widely celebrated in the media including an article that featured him in a January 2022 front story on fighting conservative school boards. President Biden invited him to the White House for a bill signing and took a picture with him in the Oval Office.
It appears that universities are growing impatient with protesters, particularly after a series of sit-ins. Recently, students were suspended for storming the office of Pomona College President Gabrielle Starr. Nineteen students were reportedly arrested.
Starr claimed in an open letter that racial slurs were used by students and declared:
“These actions are actively destructive of the values that underpin our community. Any participants in today’s events … who turn out to be Pomona students, are subject to immediate suspension. Students from the other Claremont Colleges will be banned from Pomona’s campus and subject to discipline on their own campuses.”
The actions of the university have led to protests on campus and calls for the student board to reverse that suspensions.
OT again – I think that I have created my own little Golem. Sebastian, the cat. He was a young stray, who arrived on my front porch last year, around the time of the super-cold spell. He hopped up in my lap when I was out feeding the outside feral (who has since come inside to live), and he had a collar, but there were no ads for him. So, I took him in. That little booger loves him some meat. I fix my little dog a hamburger patty every day (The cheap ones from Walmart, that are like $11 for 12 patties, with plenty of grease.) Anyway, Sebastian has figured out when I call her, to come running, and now he has begun to anticipate the patty. I think he has telepathic abilities, because all I have to do is think “hamburger”, and he is in my lap.
I thought forcing your way into a closed building and assaulting security was trespassing and insurrection and could get you 5-10 years ?
Regardless, those few students who assaulted the security guard should be arrested, charged prosecuted and convicted.
Though the level of actual violence is small so the sentence should be minimal.
The remained of students entering the building without permission should face academic discipline.
And if they have done this before they should be expelled.
Curiously, unfortunately, it seems that these incidents, at any location, in any situation, as reported in any venue, generally tend not to address the speech principles of “reasonable time, place and manner restriction” and of speech inciting violence. Complex principles, to be sure, but long-standing, and far better than the almost self-contradictory, blatantly inane assertion that suppressing speech is free speech hence valid over other concepts of assault, battery, destruction of property and similar criminal and tort issues.
OT – OK, there are some old fogies here. Does anybody remember a short story maybe by Damon Runyon, or Saki, or H.H. Monro, or one of the Algonquin Club – it is about a hick who comes to town (NYC???) and he is so stupid and innocent that everybody thinks he is up to something.
Thanks!

The anti-American communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, RINOs, AINOs) have been stalking and abducting the minds of American youth for generations.
Milquetoast American leadership has allowed communism and those abductions to persist and burgeon.
American universities are communist cesspools of brainwashing, propaganda, and indoctrination wherein communism is worshiped and the Constitution and America are disparaged.
Know the enemy…
and neutralize it.
That video looked like White Privilege to me. Bunch of rich white liberal kids running over a person of color.
Nah… that’s just anti-racism in action.
While the purpose of Turley’s article is to show how Universities are no longer sitting back and allowing their students protest, there’s an even deeper problem.
These kids don’t know either the meaning of the words that they are using or who or what they are protesting in support of.
I’ll wager that if you were to interview these kids, and asked them if they support Hitler, they would say no.
If you ask them if they supported Nazis, they would say no. (Ignoring that they’ll try to spin Israel as the fascists and genocidal killers.)
Now if you were to ask them if they condone Hamas’ attack on 10/7, you may get either a no, or that they felt it was ok.
So now you have to ask them if they support the slaughter of innocent men, women and children… rape, torture… and lets see what they say.
Some may feign ignorance and say that it didn’t happen. (Even though we have Hamas’ own using GoPro cammeras to capture their assault and some phoning home to their families in glee! )
Some may say that its justified. Which again is troubling in itself.
But what happens when you point out how Hamas are actually descendants of Nazis and are in fact Nazis?
When you show them the history.
That by supporting Hamas, you are in fact supporting Nazis?
The problem is that they will not believe you, try to change the subject, and or claim that what Israel is doing is worse and its genocide.
(Even after you point out how its not.)
You can even point to the rules of war which Israel is following. Hamas, ignores.
And then there’s the final kicker.
Ask them to define what a Palestinian is.
The term is really the ‘self identification’ of an arab who is from the region and is a terrorist or supports terrorism.
Arafat created the term after modifying the Jordanian flag.
So if you say you support Hamas, you support terrorism.
If you say you support the Palestinians, you are also supporting terrorism.
Its like the families who were members of the Nazi party, where they supported the party, yet didn’t pull the trigger or run the death camps.
They are still Nazis.
Just something to think about.

I am become cynical enough to wonder if the new actions are the result of spine growing or Jewish Donor wallets snapping shut.
Either way it is welcome.
Jewish wallets. The Liberal Jew’s Little Golems have come back to haunt them. Kunstler had a good article about it last year – right after the Oct 7 Terror attack. I have posted this before, but I think he makes excellent points, and I think you will see more of this sort of thing when anti-Israel hate rears its head. I am not sure that you will see Jewish wallets slam shut when the protests and disruptions are about the usual run-of-the-mill Woke nonsense. The article was called The Jewish American Dilemma.
” Tikkun Olam means repair the world. This has been driving American Judaism since the early 20th century. Meanwhile, the genocide of the 1940s gave new impetus to next year in Jerusalem for what remained of the European Jews, and thus you get the establishment of Israel in 1948 — notwithstanding the geopolitical legerdemain that actually brought it about. American Jews, while sympathetic to a fault with the founding of Israel, and deeply vested emotionally in its success, had a different agenda in the USA after World War Two. They endeavored to repair America. Tikkun Olam!
Mostly this expressed itself in Jewish support and involvement in the Civil Rights movement, since the end of discrimination against anybody was considered a good thing for the Jews as well as humanity in general. The country needed a moral repair job, especially after defeating manifest evil in the big war. That effort climaxed in the mid 1960s with the federal legislation that ended Jim Crow policy in voting and public accommodations. Much of the actual on-the-ground work to make this happen was accomplished by Jewish lawyers. This is a fact, not an accusation.
This became a growing fiasco for American Jewish liberals, who, by the 1980s, then strove to impose another set of repairs (more tikkun olam) on American society: multiculturalism, meaning it was no longer necessary to promote a common culture that people would be encouraged to assimilate into, to join a consensus of values and behaviors. Instead, all cultures could behave according to their own rules. That hasn’t worked out so well either, and the world repairers have lately had to resort to coercion such as tyrannical diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and the shoving aside of equal opportunity for enforced equal outcomes (“equity”). That business has only produced additional unintended consequences, such as the new epidemic of institutional incompetence and the resentment of at least half the population against new forms of counter-discrimination (cultural Marxism, in short).
Another poorly understood byproduct of this failure to repair the world is the guilt and shame secretly experienced by the American liberal Left over the apparent failure of the Civil Rights movement they fought so hard for, and the subsequent failed efforts to tweak it and save it (still more tikkun olam). Thus, we see the absurd racist “anti-racism” of the universities, and so many other affronts to common sense and reality itself.
But the worst byproduct of all this tragically misguided tikkun olam is that the main political vehicle for it, the Democratic Party, has gone so insane that it now devotes itself fanatically to the utter destruction of what remains of our country. This is most particularly true in the law, which might be considered the backbone of America. Lawfare attorneys such as Marc Elias work tirelessly to turn American election law upside down and inside out so it becomes increasing impossible to know who is voting and if the ballots are legitimate.
The Democratic Party has decided it’s okay to use the law in bad faith to persecute and jail its political opponents. The Democratic Party has destroyed Americans’ faith in the federal courts, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. The Democratic Party allows an invasion of millions of unvetted aliens across the border, quite a few of them possibly bent on making mayhem here as global tensions careen into hot war. The Democratic Party is still pushing Covid vaccinations that are well-understood at this point to be ineffective and unsafe. And the Democratic Party is doing everything possible (with help from RINO Republicans) to destroy our financial system. You could easily make the case that the Democratic Party is the anti-American Party.
If they really want to repair the world, it’s time for Jewish Americans to get out of the Democratic Party and re-assimilate into an American common culture — a consensus about reality — that is consistent with running a successful, orderly, and just society.
Floyd – I recall reading that when JHK first published it. As usual, he expresses his ideas in an inimitable way.
Oldman– I wasn’t aware of the article till Floyd mentioned it here. Following on your remark I just looked it up and agree that it is thoughtful and compelling.
Floyd: “You could easily make the case that the Democratic Party is the anti-American Party.”
+++
I think you have done a good job of making that case. I no longer think of Democrats as loyal opposition but as evil. The days of men like Moynihan and ‘Scoop’ Jackson are long gone.
The lunatic fringe that turned the 1968 Chicago convention into a disgraceful riot has grown and swallowed the entire party and too much of the federal administrative state.
As for American Jews I am disgusted that so many have turned their backs on Israel, the one bright and inspiring light in the Middle East. As for Israel being brutal in Gaza I think they have been too humane. Early after the horrors of October 7 I realized world opposition to Israel would build if retribution were too drawn out. I wanted them to carpet bomb all of Gaza, finish it in a day. There would be outrage but in a week everyone would go back to fretting about the eclipse and climate change. Sometimes the Old Testament is the better guide.
“As for Israel being brutal in Gaza I think they have been too humane. ”
I agree. The Gazans voted Hamas into power, so since they like death and mayhem so much, let them enjoy some death and mayhem. The only thing missing is Israelis out in the street celebrating the deaths.
Floyd: “The only thing missing is Israelis out in the street celebrating the deaths.”
And they wouldn’t. Israelis celebrate life, Gazans celebrate death.
Only three were expelled? What about the many others observed to be playing follow the leader?
Right now two parents are being sentenced for the action of their child, I both agree and disagree. Will this now be the model/precedent for any future actions by courts concerning the conduct of children? Will parents of college students be held accountable when their minor child’s actions at college, if so maybe students will give careful thought before they act? If so maybe parents will remind their children that their conduct away from home could be costly to parents?
@ anonynous, it would be very difficult to hold parents accountable for their college age children since most would be legally adults by then. 15, 16, and even 13 year olds are often charged as adults when they commit serious crimes. Should the parents be included? I think that road is full of bad outcomes. It’s kind of “ guilty for the sins of the son” mentality or guilt by association. Generally that would be a bad idea and is very likely unconstitutional.
Democrats have lost all Americans but they cant seem to understand that since all they have to offer Americans is “Trump = racist”, Americans walk away unimpressed
Axios is shocked, SHOCKED, that Hispanics prefer Republicans over Democrats. Ive been saying for years that Hispanics immigrating into America today are not supportive of Democrats Left wing ideologies. Violence by Hamas / Gaza apologists under the guise of “protesting”, Antisemitism, militancy with pronouns, castrating boys, offering mastectomies for girls, gender hormones reassignment without parental consent, kiddy porn books in schools, drag shows in children venues (or anywhere really), BLM ANTIFA Black violence couched in terms of reparations, etc.
Democrats only have two audiences that support their leftism: liberal whites (mainly atheists) and blacks who want government to float their existence. Blacks who believe in family values, embrace work to get ahead education to better their children, and hold Christian principles as important, largely reject Democrats recent leftward lunge. Blacks from other countries in Caribbean and Africa get offended when compared to blacks in America which is why these immigrant blacks do not vote Democrat
Democrats can only win by rigging elections like in 2020. They are doing it now with recruiting voters without identification cards. I should hope these violations are thrown out before elections.

Axios Dishonest headline removed
“The poll also finds that Latinos tend to prefer Trump when it comes to the economy, crime, and immigration, but prefer Biden when it comes to abortion issues. When asked who is better for the U.S. economy, Latinos prefer Trump (42%) over Biden (20%). On crime and public safety, Trump (31%) also outperforms Biden (20%).
That said, 64% support giving the president authority to shut U.S. borders if there are too many migrants trying to enter the country. A minority supports building a wall or fence along the entire U.S.-Mexico border (42%)
A majority of Latinos say they think that improving border security (62%) and reforming the immigration system (70%) is important for the U.S. government to prioritize. Around one in four say that improving border security (24%) or reforming the immigration system (26%) should be the most important priority for the government.”
https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/latino-americans-arent-favorable-trump-or-biden-feel-democratic-party-better-represents-them
The poll was injected with phrases laced with ethnocentrism: placing Left wing constructs onto Hispanics and twisting questions to elicit responses favorable to their Leftist causes. Issues like abortion, sending all Hispanic immigrants back to their countries, whether they feel positive about America’s future (no one does!), all bogus questions to lie with their polls
Estovir,
The Free Press has ran a number of articles about Hispanics ditching the Democrat party, Asians identifying with MAGA as Democrats discriminate against them for being successful, and even Blacks who are not voting this election and some considering voting for Trump.
Genocide Joe is not helping Biden at all.
Axios is shocked that they are wrong? Imagine that.
Did you see this one?
I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust.
“Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think.”
https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust
Good article. I stopped giving money to NPR several years ago. Similarly, with AARP. I liked this excerpt:
In February, our audience insights team sent an email proudly announcing that we had a higher trustworthy score than CNN or The New York Times. But the research from Harris Poll is hardly reassuring. It found that “3-in-10 audience members familiar with NPR said they associate NPR with the characteristic ‘trustworthy.’ ” Only in a world where media credibility has completely imploded would a 3-in-10 trustworthy score be something to boast about.
Floyd,
Yep. I liked his honesty. Yes, NPR always had a slant, but for the most part you could still get the news and some of the articles were good.
Then 2016 happened and they went all in on the advocacy journalism. Everything was severely slanted against Trump, Republicans, conservatives and any one to the right of Bernie Sanders. It was nauseating.
Then I recall them advertising for a article they would have on All Things Considered on health and exercise. Okay. I was interested. So I tuned in.
It was about exercise and dieting was related to white supremacy. The US has a serious obesity crisis that is costing American’s thousands of dollars a year and they want to link exercise and dieting or just eating healthy to white supremacy?
It was one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
Then again, Time magazine had something similar.
The guard opened the door and invited them in. Once in they just waked around like normal visitor.
Sammy=moron.
You must have watched a different video. He didn’t invite them in, and they didn’t just walk around. He tried to stop them from coming in and they overpowered him.
@Sammy…
Trying to be a defense attorney?
The guard spoke to a student who was trying to get him to open the door for her.
As she held the door open, then other students came up and bum rushed him.
The video shows that they pushed their way in after he tried to stop them.
They should be expelled.
To be clear, all of the protesters should have been expelled.
-G
Sort of like January 6th? Just “walked in”!
If that is what you saw, then I now understand how you think there was an insurrection.
Not only are your critical thinking skills in question, but your observation skills as well.
You should not be allowed to operate heavy machinery either.
Each time I read about disruptive college students I see a need for an active military draft and the return of hardcore drill sergeant’s. They want their education loans forgiven, three years of active military service for college men and women will provide them forgiveness. Life in a bunker in the bush has a profound effect on a person.
Margot,
Well said and I agree.
Then, I just might support direct, troops on the ground, US involvement in the Ukraine.
Watch out Upstate, you may trigger the troll with ED (estovir derangement).
Margot Ballhere said: “I see a need for an active military draft”
Please show me where the Constitution of the United States authorizes the Federal government to conduct military conscription. Article I, Section 8 authorizes Congress to raise armies, but there is no language there that even remotely implies that service may be involuntarily imposed, and a good bit that implies the opposite. Then there is the 13th Amendment, that states: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Please do not trouble yourself to try to twist words in an futile attempt to deny that military conscription constitutes “involuntary servitude”.
Your suggestion that *voluntary* military service be made a condition for the discharge of student loans may have some merit, but I am generally opposed to student loan forgiveness.
Agree with your comment Number 6…
The other day I had a (civil) comment deleted (censored) on a “free speech” blog.
Then I noticed that many (most) posters disappear after five in the afternoon.
Now I understand why… and who might be their most likely employer(s)…
My god, is that security officer going to be OK!? That was the most vicious assault I have ever witnessed. I can only imagine the years of physical and mental rehabilitation this poor man will require after such a brutal attack!
The assault happened off-camera, genius.
If the guard was going against Republicans he would be on MSNBC crying with Adam K and Cheney.
LOL…
Define assault.
Ooops.
There you go… while he was attacked off camera, the video shows the guard trying to stop the students who then rushed in.
If I were that guard, I’d have pushed a bit harder on the initial students, sending them flying backwards. then closed the door.
Of course then I’d be sued by the students.
Truly, it just dawned on me (I am a little late coming to this notion) that if you fill up a majority of our essential government positions (from local dog catcher to Attorney General) with less that stellar DEI graduates you would get those who would be easily indoctrinated and become stalwart soldiers in the army of the progressives in their “fundamental transformation” of this nation. What an ingenious plan and how stealthily it was administered over the years from the 60s to now and look just how deeply embedded these half-backed functionaries are at this point. I doubt even dynamite could blast them out of these sinecures.
Yes, one of the problems with progressivism is that it FAILS.
It fails because the ideology does not work.
It fails because it puts people into positions of power – both great and small who are incompetent.
While I am surprised at the speed and scale in which The Biden administration has failed.
And I am surprised given that scale that ANYONE is willing to vote these people back into power.
The failure was inevitable.
The right attacks Biden for Senility – which appears likely to be true.
But it is no better if Biden is Competent.
Senility is atleast an explantion for the long series of very bad decisions.
Personally I attribute those tot he children running this administration.
We are getting the evidence why you do not put toddlers in charge of anything much less the US government
It’s more about narrative control than people acting properly.
Once these colleges start losing too much money,
the pendulum will swing back the other way again.

What craven coward blurred the faces of the criminal students?
Their identities were kept hidden because they have not been convicted yet. They are presumed innocent until conviction by a court.
How many videos of J6 people have you seen without some of them being charged or convicted? Why lie when it is so easy to be refuted? Oh I get it, it is a Biden thing.
Many Jan 6 protesters filmed themselves doing their “adventure” live and others posted their alleged crimes before they could be charged or found guilty. Law enforcement used those selfies and videos to identify protesters and THEN were charged accordingly. Once they post on social media they have no control over who sees the images and how they are distributed. It was stupidity at its finest.
George said: “Once they post on social media they have no control over who sees the images and how they are distributed. It was stupidity at its finest.”
That is an evasive response, at best. The J6 security camera videos that were initially released publically blurred no faces. Furthermore, the timing of at least the initial release would very much appear to preclude any evaluation by authorities about whether one or more protesters shown in those videos did, or did not, forfeit their right to privacy by posting their own videos of the incidents on social media.
@ Number 6, with all due respect the Jan 6 security videos were not released before most got charged or indicted. None of the Jan 6 protesters/rioters had any expectation of privacy while inside the Capitol building. Almost everyone was filming themselves and the event. News organizations were covering it and there was plenty of footage that was publicly available before the release of the security camera footage.
Let’s also keep in mind that states have different statutes regarding consenting to video. We should also keep in mind that Vanderbilt is a private school. They could be liable for exposing student identities before being charged or convicted. Some students could be found not guilty and with their identities exposed by the school’s security cameras could be used by the students to sue.
Just to recap, Jan 6 protesters/rioters had no expectation of privacy and they were filming themselves and were being filmed by the news. The Vanderbilt student protesters were filmed by a private entity and their actions shown before being convicted or acquitted by a court. Blurring their faces has a specific legal purpose.
While you are generally correct – these students do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy either.
They are acting in public.
The privacy rights of students at vanderbuilt are higher than those at the Capitol.
At the same time the seriousness of what we are watching is worse.
The US capitol is the preminent forum for speech in the world. It is also the preminent place to petition government.
The capitol can not be constitutionally denied to the public while congress is in session.
There is no right to enter A locked building on vanderbuilt campus.
I was not implying the Vanderbilt students would have a reasonable expectation of privacy. I was pointing out that Vanderbilt, as a private school can be liable for exposing students to claims of guilt or acts that have not been determined in a court of law. They are presumed innocent until they are deemed guilty in court or by a jury first.
They did not enter thru a locked door. In the video the security guard opened the door. It was then when students forced their way in.
The Capitol is indeed the preeminent place to petition government and exercise speech. By the chose representatives. Not mobs who violently force their way in and engage in destruction and theft of property. There is an established order to petition government. Assaulting law enforcement officers and destroying property and engaging in violence is not. Otherwise they are no different than the students. If it is ok for Jan 6 protesters/rioters to set the example for students, then they may be somewhat justified. It may be a private school, but the intent of their protest is the same.
George said: “Almost everyone was filming themselves and the event.”
I guess I will (reluctantly 😉 give you that one, As I have mentioned elsewhere, I am generally reluctant to rely on video footage as a presentation of fact, absent a good bit of detailed corroboration from other sources. As a result, I was unaware that the J6 protestors had almost without exception published their own videos prior to the initial release of the video cam footage. I do seem to recall, however, that one of the principal actors in that release (could have been SoH Johnson, not sure) had said, just prior to the initial web availability, that there would be a brief delay attributible to the need to blur faces, which I recall that I thought was quite odd when I began viewing those videos, and no faces had been blurred.
Number 6, a lot of Jan 6 protesters/rioters were streaming live from their phones. Others were posting on instagram and Facebook live. Then there’s of course news crews with higher resolution cameras and equipment filming and broadcasting live. All the video of that day became instant public record without the blurring of anyone. That’s why there’s no blurring of faces.
You’re aware that hundreds of people who have not even been charged are shown on the news EVERY DAY? Many innocent people have had their lives turned upside down by widespread news reporting with their image.
News reporting means it’s a very public event filmed in a very public situation. Where people have no reasonable expectation of privacy there is nothing they can do if they are filmed by news organizations or even private individuals. In some states it’s illegal to film other people without their consent, but that depends on where the filming occurs.
Imagine hundreds or thousands of people being filmed at a music concert, a riot, protest, a football game, or any outdoor sporting event where everyone and everything is filmed. If a brawl breaks out in the stands everyone, the innocent and the guilty, is going to be on film.
The important thing is that Universities are starting to act like responsible educators and getting rid of the destructive narcissists and performance idiots on campus. The tide has turned. Let’s see more of this.
I would image that it depends on the ideology of donors to each institution. Those who still have common sense are leveraging their donations to achieve change. Prog donors will continue the finding of chaos and disintegration.
The number of students seeking college is declining each year due to demographic changes.
That means colleges must compete for students.
Ordinarily the elite institutions are at an advantage.
But as the “best ” colleges int he country destroy their reputations, donors, parents and students are going elsewhere.
Free markets work.
It’s due to the rising cost of college and the value of certain degrees. A four year college degree is not as valuable as it used to be unless it’s a very specialized field or highly technical career. But it seems it’s mainly cost. Student loan debt is getting worse and worse. Students are getting degrees that cost thousands of dollars and don’t often produce a return on the investment.
Schools need to lower tuition or find ways to to attract more students and offer degrees that will hold value instead of useless “liberal arts degrees” and such.
Two year associate degrees and technical schools seem to offer better return for their investments and don’t accrue major student loan debt. University used to be much more affordable when states paid a much greater percentage of the cost and making tuition affordable for a lot more people. That is no longer true. In Europe it still is to a greater degree. Here it is becoming the reality that a college education is only going to be accessible to the well off, those who can afford it. Just as it was before public education became a thing.
“Students from the other Claremont Colleges will be banned from Pomona’s campus”
That is the exact opposite of what is best for students at the other 5Cs.
I’d implore you to trust a student activist . . .
LOL!
Don’t beleive your lying eyes.
