Oh look, consequences for actions. I can't blame the school for suspending them. I can't blame the kids for protesting. Sometimes when you protest, you know you're going to be arrested.
Which should have no relevance to your status as a student. Unless you've been convicted of something which would affect your studies/fellow students, this should not be a thing.
They are, among other things, trespassing on university property. Even if you don't think their message is objectionable, their delivery of it does affect the university.
Trespassing? They pay to fucking be there.
That doesn't mean they own the place. The university still makes the rules.
I paid for the unlimited soup and salad at the Olive Garden, I should be able to piss in their fountain!
If they were pissing on the lawn sure, tough on them. But they weren’t. They were sitting on the lawn. That they paid to sit on? This is a strawman argument
