BDS Boycott Divest Sanction, Soft Intro

U.S. universities and colleges have been known to have become a pooling of the monies of some of the wealthy elite. Some, maybe many, not all members of the high wealth and oligarch class, are active proponents, supporters and direct funders of genocide and violence against people in Palestine, The DRC, Kashmir, Haiti and other violently oppressed places. Students are organizing to call for an end of alliance with oppression and mass murder funders, seems quite reasonable. We can’t forget the legacy of land theft from the First Nations People, which has still not be materially addressed by most, if not all, U.S. colleges and universities, and violent abuse and sometimes direct enslavement of Africans and their descendants by universities. Could this be the beginning of a return of learning to the people and divestment from colonizer brutality? Universities in other nations were not always genocidal profit and labor machines until Western Hegemony took over them for industrialized colonial ventures.
