Request for disciplinary action against the Columbia University students who assaulted Jim Gilchrist

"If they aren't disciplined for such unfair, aggressive disruption, then WHO gets disciplined AND FOR WHAT if not this? IS there no discpline at Columbia? Their behavior was rude, childish, and against the spirit of free speech that schools like Columbia s"

"Is this what colleges have degenerated into?"

"This is basic freedom of speech. These kids should face disciplinary actions."

"Columbia MBA, 1979"

"В"

"This just goes to prove that illegals ARE criminals who threaten our very way of life. The first thing they want to do is to get rid of free speech, such as in this case. We need to put them BACK into Mexico before we BECOME Mexico!"

"Your students actions were a disgrace to your University and some disciplinary action should be taken to maintain the schools dignity."

"both sides must be heard!"

"Being a former Nam Vet , expulsion is the least that should be done to these criminals."

"Simply imagine what the university response would've been had students attacked a guest speaker from Amnesty International, the Nation of Islam, Greenpeace, or NOW. Now apply that punishment to these students."

"They only want to hear from people who agree with them. If they cannot win a debate on any given subject, then they just want to shut them down. So much for free speach."

"It is a shame that we even need to write this petition. These animals need to be suspended until they learn to conduct themselves as human beings."

"The "protesters" (bullies) claim they were only exercising their free speech. Their actions translate to free speech is Ok if you agree with their agenda. It's apparent these students have alot to learn."

"These students should be suspended, if not expelled, and sued for their contemptible behavior."
