Columbia Law Students Embarrassingly Demand Exams Be Canceled, Put Weak Mindset On Display

Columbia University law students are attempting to make sure a good crisis doesn't go to waste.

The Ivy League school has been embroiled in controversy after an anti-Israel mob gained control of large chunks of campus and seized a university building.

Police were called in earlier in the week to regain control of the building and arrest those who refused to leave. It's been a situation that is utterly embarrassing for the school, and it's somehow getting worse.

Columbia law students want exams canceled.

The Columbia Law Review admin board of student editors released a letter demanding exams be canceled in the aftermath of police clearing people out.

"As the Administrative Board of student editors of the Columbia Law Review, we urge the Law School to cancel exams and give all students passing grades for their work throughout the semester. In the alternative, it is our view that the Law School at the very least observes the community's overwhelming call for mandatory Pass/Fail during this horrific time for our campus. the violence we witnessed last night has irrevocably shaken many of us on the Review. We know this to be the same for a majority of our classmates," the statement reads, in part.

Columbia students put weak mindset on display.

This is beyond pathetic and embarrassing. Who is going to want to hire a lawyer who was so mentally weak they couldn't take exams due to a riot that unfolded on campus?

Let's take a look at the facts. Students and agitators were told to get out, they didn't leave, eventually took control of a building and the police then cleared them out.

There's no right to break the law and just claim it's protesting. That's not how it works. You'd think a bunch of people in law school would know that. Apparently, that's just not the case.

If I was on trial for something and I found out my lawyer didn't even have the spine to take their final exams, I'd just assume I'm absolutely cooked. Aren't lawyers supposed to be badass and gritty or is that just what Hollywood has convinced us all?
