Joe Biden is bringing some balance to the area. It seems that your news outlets ynot reporting on all of the work that is going on behind the scenes. It is a shame that the Republican party has decided to act as instigators instead of Peace advocates. The students are protesting against the schools for having investments in the war machine that is supplying weapons to Israel. Those weapons are mostly killing innocent civilians. Is no different than Vietnam War protesting at college campuses.
Remember, Americans. We are the ones who will be paying off their student loans.

Senator Katie Britt , as an Israeli I would like to thank to speak so passionately about the safety ( or the absolute lack if) of Jewish students and faculty. It’s hard to believe that these kind of things need to be dealt with in 2024 , especially in the US. Nevertheless, much appreciation for your unequivocal stance on this matter. God bless you
Send home any/all foreign students who are demonstrating or protesting!!
The Education Sec. just oozes incompetence
Kudos you her👏
I hope this lady's husband knows how blessed he is...
These student if arrested should be placed on watch list and no flight lists. If they are foreign students the visa should be reminded and the offender deported. Cheers from the UK.
Cardona is a policltical hack and needs to go. Is clueless and not fit for the job.
I love this woman!
Ooh, they’ve “drafted a letter”. That should fix it!!! Imagine how much we pay him to draft letters. Your tax dollars are being wasted.
"It's time for action, not investigations." Now what could possibly go wrong with that idea? If you don't know the answer maybe you can ask some of the folks still awaiting trial (or dismissal) for January 6th accusations. In their cases the government said, "Time for action! Arrest them all and let God sort them out in 2024. While they are waiting in custody we'll do the investigations to determine if they actually committed a crime." I don't know what people want the federal government to do. The governor to send in the National Guard to the University of Alabama to support the Triple-K and President Biden to send in the 2nd Infantry Division to defend the victim students as happened with Gov. George Wallace and President John Kennedy in 1963? Have the governor send in the National Guard as was done at Kent State, Ohio in 1970? Kent State, especially, didn't work as planned, did it? The truth is on the whole neither the military nor federal law enforcement is equipped and trained as first line responders to handle large out of control protests or riots. Local law enforcement, on the other hand, is equipped and trained for that specific task. They handle the heavy lifting. Federal law enforcement, if federal jurisdiction can be established, investigates once the situation has been defused. You know what virtually ended campus riots in the 1970s? During the spring semester of 1970 Governor Ronald Reagan of California shut it down for the rest of the academic year. He closed all UC and Cal State universities, sent the students, staff and administration home and it was done. No further damage, no one was injured or killed and law enforcement got back to regular duties. And boy, howdy did that piss off Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn. Why? It has to do with the actual definition of terrorism. In part terrorism is defined as a politically active group posing a community threat in such a way that the general public perceives they could be next when in fact the threat is limited to the campus (in this set of circumstances). Governor Reagan called the bluff. The Weather Underground was for all intents and purposes history from that point on to today. Billy and Bernie left the Bay Area and moved to Chicago to become professors.
Then do something about it!
Why have hearings ...no consequences
Always asking for more money..
Money won't fix this mess law enforcement is the only way to do it
I think we may be past the investigation stage.

For a senator Katie seems quite uninformed. There are many things going on behind the scenes that you should be aware of. Why then does she bring talking points from Fox News? The Middle East is a very volatile place. Instead of adding a voice of calm and reason, she is adding misinformation and fear and blame. Do you really want a regional war in the Middle East? Will that bring you satisfaction? Will that bring the world closer to Harmony? A politician is supposed to stand above the fray and help bring reason and justice. Katie is not helping in the least.
Real disgrace for America 🇺🇸 with all that is happening in the universities this is not acceptable at all we are jot middle eat here, and how come America allow those rubbish to shout and chant from the river to the sea, the killings of jews and the non respect to our country......this need to be dealt severely.
May God Bless you Senator! For your courage and forthright effort to confront this administration challenging them to stop timidly and dismissively talking about "looking into it" ( the outright lawlessness and anarchy that is occurring right now on college campuses and exhort them to Do Something!!!

Here's a simple solution. If universities allow this level of vile behavior to get out of hand, they loose all federal funding. For Columbia, that would mean about $500 million in research funds. They'll change their behavior real quick.

Until they can SHOW they have ACTUALLY done something to protect the students being harassed, beaten, berated….then not another stinkin dime! Like the Bible says unless you are faithful in the small things, don’t expect bigger things to be offered you…in fact if you are unfaithful in the or with the small things what you do have may be taken from you! So, you go take care of the THUGS…AND THE THUG PROFESSORS first, then we’ll talk money.
She should have asked - when? Here is this dialog decoded: -Hey, there a breach in the hull, water is gushing in, the ship is sinking! -I know, we are investigating, we are looking at the water. -How long are you going to be looking? Are you trying to figure out how wet the water is?
No more requesting shit, we know that means more $$$$, no more $$ just FIX IT
Disband the DoE! Vote Republican!
What happened to the Title 9 discussion?
She asked a good question and gave good rebuttal at why their response is lack luster. This chick needs to learn not to smile so much; its a disingenuous habit that she practiced when growing up. She's smiling while calling out bad behavior; my brain superficially sees it as though she's enjoying it. But I know she's not because I'm smart enough to know the quirk because I saw it after the [ State of the Union Address ] speech. Its give me a red-flag, like when I see someone frowning while eating birthday cake; I assume something is totally wrong and I start investigating and looking for the bad. There's nothing terribly wrong with her, but her physical signaling has a high learning curve. She'll need way more national exposure if they want to boost her as a super political personality and seat runner. After her [State of the Union Address] post-republican speech, I had to do research on her just to make sure she was legit (and hasn't been voluntarily committed before). She's giving off abnormal facial expressions. P.S. I'm an engineer and computer scientist for the medical field (focused on psychiatry (hence the "I've seen that face before" vibes)).

OMG this lady is fantastic. Her line of questioning was brilliant. So much common sense.
I graduated high school in 1988.
I would like to ask. All those students: What did you do for USA, what did do your parents, grandparents for your today first amendment rights. I’m so confused. Did they sacrificed any drop of blood, any drop of sweat. I don’t think so. I didn’t even heard any Muslim fights for American freedom. American today. You’re just passengers on the American land. You have no right to tell People of America what to do… just learn go back to your own country and teach what you did learn in USA. Look like you do learning how to protest. But could you go back your country and do it as same as in USA.
We have vey weak people in these positions. They have no guts to do tough action.
When I first heard her question officials in Congress I thought she sounded passionate. Now I can't listen to her. I like her positions, but she needs to talk differently.
How appropriate that the Senator from Selma, Alabama would be calling for the repression of peaceful protesters.

Oh my God ! Thank The heavens (said tongue in cheek) he is drawing a line....somewhere.....with a blue crayon ....when things get out of hand-that's really going to help the jewish students under siege. No Iron Man hero coming, no expulsions and no physical protections nor aides to just get those students to their payed for classes, She keeps saying "Where's the Beef ?", and he keeps dancing under the flag of his "fatherhood caring". She makes a good point , and I say this as a registered democrat; this issue could be the one that loses it for Biden if that don't put some caffeine in their tanks. Thank you Katie Britt for putting it out there; your passion is indeed appreciated-this is not the USA we all know.
Education sectetary replies, we are trying to identify students who are protesting and disrupting college campus to provide financial benefits and support to continue their activity. We will also wave of their student loans now only because anyway they are not going to repay anytime in future. 😂

Also, she freely admits her ignorance on the process of investigation and disregards his response to less workers being able to investigate. Which would be fine if she asked follow up questions to understand. Her performance is obviously not coming from a solution oriented approach. If she really cared about reaching a solution, she would listen and therefore acknowledge that the education department is being stretched thin with 3 times the amount of cases to investigate. If she wants action, it starts by her asking questions on the process involved in investigations and ways they can help streamline and speed up the process. Not deflect concerns from him so she can speak about her kid and lead that into another issue without even trying to solve the first issue she brought up.
