So, in the wake of anti-Semitic activities at Columbia University, it seems that ICE has arrested one protestor, a Syrian on a student visa, and is holding him in a facility in Louisiana.
That seems a bit harsh, moving him to Louisiana, but I'm okay with it. Other students are planning walk-outs in support.
I taught at the college level for a couple of years, Into to Law Enforcement, very basic stuff. I was never faced with protests, but I was asked once how I would deal with a student missing a test.
"That is simple", I replied. "If you miss a test, you get a zero for that test. The only excuse I will accept is if I happen to look out the classroom window and watch you get run down by a garbage truck. But, I will also require documentation from the emergency room that treats you."
If students want to protest, let them protest. It is their right. But, I would schedule a major exam on those days to help them choose.

Harsh? The derpbag should’ve been beheaded on the spot.
I currently teach a college class. I had scheduled an exam and had a student ask for an exemption because he had to leave for a drill (Reserve) weekend. I told him no problem, just have your First Sergeant sign off on an excuse for you....😁 Guess who took the test on time?
The buzz on the internet is that he was moved out of NY so the liberal NY judges had no jurisdiction and had no-case for putting a stick in the spokes of the extradition.
