Is Columbia University in NYC the next college to experience a wave of protests and walk-outs?
Maybe so. This is what a speaker reportedly said on Thursday during a rally in solidarity with students at Missouri and Yale:

LOL.
The Frisbee playing students quickly left the lawn after getting called out. From the New York Post:
Hundreds of Columbia students gathered at the South Lawn Thursday, and some speakers heckled bystanders who did not participate.
“Look at those guys playing Frisbee — that is the definition of privilege,” said one speaker.
The students stopped playing Frisbee and left the area.
Also reported at the rally, a chant that included lines of “I love black people who steal” and “I love black criminals”:
