After Bangladesh, now the student movement is gaining momentum in America. The pro-Palestine student organization The Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) has announced a class boycott during the upcoming academic session as part of its strike. YDSA has said that students will study from home during this period and boycott universities and colleges. These students had continued their movement in the last academic session as well.
The YDSA, the youth and student wing of the far-left Democratic Socialists of America, published a new resolution just last month calling on members of its more than 100 university chapters across the country to stage a “Student Strike for Palestine.” The resolution “calls for participation in the movement and urges them to boycott universities from the start of the academic year 2024-2025,” the press reported.
The report said that student organizations have been called to strike in their respective academic campuses to advocate for a ceasefire and freedom of expression in Gaza. However, the students have not been given a clear indication of how long their strike will continue as an anti-Israel protest. Let us tell you that the action taken by the leftists in the college campuses of America is the latest in the development of their movement. These student organizations are protesting against Israel's aggression against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and raising their voice for Palestinian citizens.
In the last academic session too, students created a ruckus in American college campuses. These movements are called anti-Semitic. Meanwhile, violent clashes also took place in many universities. Students of Columbia and California University created a lot of ruckus. Meanwhile, three university heads have resigned from their posts. Columbia University President Minouche Shafiq resigned from her post on Wednesday, a few weeks before the start of the new semester. In the last semester, Columbia University's college campus became the arena for student protests after Hamas attacked Israel.
Before Shafiq, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigned in December last year after less than two years on the job. Harvard University President Claudine Gay also resigned in January.
