  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

President Donald Trump said earlier this week that 'Federal Funding will STOP for any ... University that allows illegal protests'​


The New York Police Department took multiple protesters into custody at Barnard College late Wednesday when the occupation of the school library to protest the expulsion of three students who expressed anti-Israel views was broken up over a bomb threat.

On Wednesday evening, the NYPD was called to the Milstein Center on the prestigious campus after a bomb threat and hours of anti-Israel agitators demonstrating inside the campus building.

"Anyone who refuses to leave the location is subject to arrest," the NYPD said in an X post. "Please stay away from the area."

Sources confirmed to Fox News that at least 10 people were arrested. The NYPD declined to provide information on their charges.

The arrests came only because of the (fake) bomb threat and the need to make sure the people (and building) were safe. This is how you can now veto a non-violent protest you don't like. Just commit a crime.
