Families, communities, and nations are stronger when the rising generation are reared to accept personal responsibility for their words and actions and obedience to laws. The scenes on university campuses show out-of-control youths who are rioting because they are not getting what they want. Temper tantrums should be corrected while children are still little.
According
to Andrew Chapados at The Blaze, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)
(D-N.Y.) criticized the police for holding rioting students at Columbia
University accountable for their words and actions. She claimed that the police
made a “horrific” choice when they enforced the law against the students. She
responded to the deployment of counterterrorism units to the Columbia
University campus to disperse pro-Palestinian protesters.
“Not only did Columbia make the horrific
decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have
some of the most violent reputations on the force. NYPD had promised the city
they wouldn’t deploy [Special Response Groups] to protests. So why are these
counterterror units here?” she posted on X.
Chief
John Chell, the NYPD’s chief of patrol, did not like what AOC wrote on X and
responded with a sarcastic tone.
“Truly amazing! Columbia decided to hold
its students accountable to the laws of the school. They are seeing the
consequences of their actions. Something these kids were most likely never
taught. Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law. I am
sure you would agree that we have to teach them these valuable life skills,” he
said, referencing Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks.
“Secondly, I was with those ‘units’ last
Thursday that you describe as having, ‘the most violent reputations.’ These ‘units’
removed students with great care and professionalism, not a single incident was
reported,” the chief continued.
The chief then made remarks about “anti-Semitic
speech” and “vile language” toward police officers. He then asked whether AOC
agreed that “any hateful speech is unacceptable.”
Chell went on to say that “hate has no
place in our society.”
AOC
did not like the response of the police chief and mocked it: “‘Laws of the
school?’ That’s not a thing.” She continued:
“The inaccuracy of what constitutes a law
in your statement is highly concerning, considering it is law enforcement
putting their hands on kids. NYPD promised to not call counterterror SRG units
on protests. It’s time to keep your word,” she added.
Mocking
the police response was not all that AOC did. On the next day, she visited the
protesters on Columbia’s campus. Reports are that she praised the leadership of
the pro-Palestinian camp.
“The leadership you have is so fantastic,”
AOC said, according to reporter Danny De Urbina. The reporter alleged that one
of the protest leaders has been shown on camera calling for the deaths of “Zionists,”
equating them to “fascists” and “Nazis.”
Ocasio-Cortez also supported Speaker of
the House Mike Johnson getting booed at Columbia, saying that it was “good”
that the speaker was being booed because “he’s trying to take all their
reproductive rights away.”
“Why would I ever listen to a man that
thinks he should have more say over my body than I do? NEXT,” she added.
The
rising generation needs to be taught about personal responsibility in their
parental home – before they can come under the control of radicals like AOC and
liberal college professors.
When
parents teach correct principles, it is more difficult for other people to take
over. Parents and children with strong principles help to build strong
families, and strong families strengthen communities and nations.
