EDITORIAL: Brown’s Pass-Fail Protest — Paxson Keeps Her Job

For the Presidents of elite northeastern schools, it is a big win if you still have your job after the spring of discontent, and pro-Palestine, and too often, anti-Israel protests.

Harvard, Penn, and likely Columbia are posting their top job on Indeed. GOP House members hammered the top-tier presidents for their inability to answer most any question about anti-Semitism on their campuses other than name, rank, and serial number.

Brown wasn’t important enough to be hauled before Congress.

In Providence, Brown’s Christina Paxson lives to fundraise another day.

Brown has been rocked by protesters against Israel for months. Just days after Hamas invaded Israel, killed 1,200 civilians, gang-raped hundreds of women, and killed children in front of the parents and parents in front of their children, Brown students were protesting Israel’s cruelty to the Palestinians.

Forgot to mention, some of the atrocities were live-streamed using the victim's social media.

At Brown, there have been two rounds of arrests — Brown students for trespassing in Brown buildings. The Providence Police had to come to do the dirty work.

Brown dropped the charges on the first group of 20+ protestors. 

The charges are still pending on the second group of 40+ individuals. 

Brown will be sure to drop those charges to — heck, those kids need a job at a good hedge fund just like the others.

Now, the protesters got the promise that their call for divestiture from leading U.S. companies involved in supplying the Israeli defense forces by the Brown Corporation will be "taken up" for consideration.

The local targets have been Textron, Raytheon, and others.

At other colleges, protesters have different lists.

But, at Brown, the protests dubbed “Anti-Israel” by the University’s Rabbi Josh Bolton, life will return to normal.

Get the LBD out for Campus Dance. Thankfully, the protest did not last too long to damage the grass on the Main Green and everything will be fine for commencement weekend.

Is Yasser Arafat available to speak this year? Oh, wait, he is dead.
