Whiny Protestor Karen Demands Columbia Cater Their Protest
At Columbia University, student protesters have escalated their demands, now insisting the university should provide them with basic necessities such as food and water. Johannah King-Slutzky, a spokesperson for the People’s University and a PhD candidate, framed this request as a fundamental issue of human rights, questioning the university's commitment to its community. "It's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students," she argued, stressing the severity of the situation by asking if the university would allow students to suffer from dehydration and starvation.
During a press briefing, when challenged about the contradiction in the protesters' position—demanding revolutionary change while simultaneously requesting provisions from the institution they occupy—King-Slutzky defended the protesters' actions. She asserted that they were not asking the university to provide the aid directly but to not hinder their efforts to secure basic humanitarian aid. She mentioned an attempt by the university to placate the protesters with $80 GrubHub gift cards as a form of bribery rather than genuine support.
King-Slutzky, who was arrested and suspended earlier in the month, emphasized the sacrifices made by the protesters in pursuit of their cause, relating it to broader global injustices. She highlighted the dire circumstances in Gaza, drawing a parallel between the perceived minor risks taken by the students and the severe conditions faced by people in conflict zones. Her involvement in activism is extensive, with previous roles that include union stewardship and producing social justice-oriented content.
This confrontation at Columbia is part of a larger narrative of student activism that challenges educational institutions to reassess their roles and responsibilities towards their students, especially in the context of global social justice issues.
