UC David chancellor won't step down over pepper spraying

Linda Katehi represents the very worst of the UC system's hypocritical trend of pretending support of the right to dissent while dismantling our finest public forum to a silenced venue.

Shame on her.

Our universities are the last bastion of robust free speech. The collective voice of our youth are our society's conscience. We should shield it, not suffocate it.

Oust Katehi.

Absolutely ridiculous! These protesters are beyond obnoxious. There's no reason for the chancellor to step down whatsoever, and the police officers clearly did what they had to do.

Stupid. Why should the Chancellor step down or be held responsible for whatever the police do. He has no control over the Police. Additionally their little babies would not have been pepper-sprayed if they had stopped their illegal protesting and done what the Police ordered them to do. These kiddies were handled with kid gloves IMHO. Back 40 years ago or more even the very best and finest police Departments did not have all this non-lethal stuff and we had to wade into the demonstrators and physically removed the leaders of these protests by any and all means short of deadly force which mean nightsticks, saps, fist etc and many were badly hurt on both sides. I have no problem with peaceful protests that are legal under our constitution but these illegal "Occupy" BS has gotten out of hand with no real reason to protest.

Another story about uppity liberal higher education types who hate law enforcement! Yawn!
