Boston College students face discipline over protests

The Boston Globe reports:

Seven Boston College students face disciplinary action, including possible expulsion, for organizing two peaceful protests following the election of Donald Trump, the students said Monday.

The unofficial student group Eradicate Boston College Racism helped organize two recent rallies on campus, one Nov. 14 against all forms of hate and another Dec. 1 that was part of a national college campus walkout in support of undocumented immigrants who fear deportation under the Trump administration. At the rallies, students gathered on O’Neill Plaza on the BC campus, holding banners and candles and speaking against what they perceive as various forms of injustice and hate at BC and beyond.

A college spokesman said the students are not facing discipline for participating in a protest, but for failure to comply with “a well-established policy regarding campus demonstrations.’’

The socialists take one on the chin.
