This latest outrage from UCLA makes it clear that the brown shirts are taking over our campuses. At UCLA, candidates for student government office are being asked to sign a pledge that they will not takes trips to Israel funded by pro-Israel organizations.

1933 German shoppers take the pledge not to shop in Jewish stores
This is something that the chancellor of UCLA, Gene Bloch, should make a firm statement against. In all likelihood, he won't, however.
And a note to the Armenian Students Association: If you want to garner support for the recognition of the Armenian Holocaust on college campuses, this is not the way to do it.
Side note: I see that UCLA's Olive Tree Initiative appears to be left unaffected by this. Maybe it is because it actually favors the Palestinian side.

Being asked to sign a pledge is not ipso facto "Brown Shirt" intimidation. And as your later piece triumphantly reports, people who declined to sign the pledge seem to have gotten elected.
Now if anyone who didn't sign the pledge was removed by force from their dorm room, their personal effects piled up and burned, and then was sent to a labor camp, THAT would be "Brown Shirt" tactics.
Like leftists who proclaimed that within three years the government would round them all up and put them in concentration camps... you too Gary have a lurid longing for martyrdom.
The brown shirts were formed years before 1933 and before they had the power to send anyone to any camps.
Prior to 1933, the brown shirts were known for rather more muscular activities than asking elected leaders to sign a pledge. Years before 1933, they were removing students from dorms and people from homes, burning personal effects, and creating general mayhem. Camps, of course, came a bit later.
