These photos are so brilliant! Thank you thank you for such vivid and thorough documentation. To all who would like to continue student solidarity work between schools, my name is Conor, and I was one of the City College kids outside leading chants Thursday night. Please contact me so we can plan activities for the Spring!!!

Yes, these are excellent photos! They are the best ones I have seen of the event, both indoors and certainly outdoors where I cannot remember seeing any of what was happening outside. You are also very generous in using a Creative Commons license, I would like to use a couple perhaps, on my blog (which is also Creative Commons licensed) with full attribution of course.

Thanks Max and Conor. Go ahead and repost, though track back to here, in the service of clarity and fact checking more than anything.

That is amazing. Every time I see photos and read about events like this it reinforces my drive to protest. CAN (Ole Miss Chapter) plans to do a similiar demonstration at the University of Mississippi. Unfortunatly I do not think the police will be as “peaceful” with us, as they were with yall.

This is sad. These people probably feel like they are making some kind of difference in the world. Its comical how self centered they are. All that… for what?

Why are you so skeptical, Stevan? What do you know about the situation?

If this much energy and determination was put to proper use, for people who desperately need help, think of how much good could actually be done. not just a bunch of privileged kids getting their way at school.

Of course, and there are many time in history when it has. I did not realize that this was an event of privileged kids getting their way. What are you basing that statement on? While there are many grounds upon which to criticize the New York Times, I was impressed with this article that came out last night. The events on Thursday night were certainly the most rowdy and high profile. A lot of people are upset at the New School.

I believe that these students, once grayed and matured, will look back on these events with a mild embarrassment and realize that there are less dramatic and far more effective ways to remove a leader. A Majority of these students are most likely enrolled here based on the advertisements and publicity that this business minded greedy leader paid for. Now he is in the New York Times… for free. Perfect.

I respect your skepticism about the tactics used, but I don’t wish embarrassment on anyone. That won’t make the New School a better educational environment.

I agree that this is the best collection of photos I have seen. Great work. Thanks for being there. It was a memorable event, whether for the sake of “a bunch of privileged kids” or not. I think that this is what we call a successful step in the left direction.
