The guy who wrote Strawberry Statement**...

 ... the book about all the kids who "took over" the Columbia president's office back in the 60s -- Andrew* Simon Kunen -- and a lot of those hipppies that were disrupting streets, college campuses, doing drugs in public, and generally "disrupting" other people's lives to "protest"... lot of em were Jewish, weren't they?

Kinda funny how now it's a crime to shut down Columbia's campus and keep kids from going to class.  Lol.  In America, we just don't buy that Jewish people have special protections under the law.  #Truth

* James rather, not Andrew.

 "Whether students vote 'yes' or 'no' on a given issue means as much to me as if they were to tell me they like strawberries."

The book's title was a reference to a statement made by Herbert Deane, vice dean of Graduate Faculties, in an April 1967 interview with Columbia Daily Spectator, the student newspaper. Speaking about the role of students in university policy, Deane said that "student or faculty opinion should not in itself have any influence on the formation of administrative policy". "A university is definitely not a democratic institution," he added. "When decisions begin to be made democratically around here, I will not be here any longer."[2] Deane concluded with what students widely mocked as "the strawberry statement": "Whether students vote 'yes' or 'no' on a given issue means as much to me as if they were to tell me they like strawberries."[3][4]he book's title was a reference to a statement made by Herbert Deane, vice dean of Graduate Faculties, in an April 1967 interview with Columbia Daily Spectator, the student newspaper.
