Today is National Walkout Day (According to Students for Justice in Palestine)

 Breaking!!!!

Yes, folks, today has been proclaimed National Walkout Day (for Gaza), according to the little rascals at Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). Accordingly, at UC Irvine, the entire student body is apparently expected to walk out of their classes and meet up somewhere in the vicinity of the Cross-Cultural Center (which is the SJP/Muslim Student Union clubhouse, for lack of a better description) at 12:30.

I assume the professors who belong to the recently-hatched Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP) will walk out as well. Maybe they will give speeches to the assembled masses. If so, you can expect them to preface their words by reminding the crowd that they are all standing on land stolen from the various indigenous tribes before going on to talk about Gaza.

Just another day at school.

*Update: The Big Walkout at UCI turned out to consist of a few dozen students. mostly females. They gathered outside the Cross-Cultural Center, and a handful of students gave the standard speeches about the "plight" of the Palestinian people, blah blah blah. They chanted the same old chants and scrawled Free Palestine messages on the sidewalk with chalk.

ZZZZZ.
