Summary

It's a Novel Idea: Let The Students Speak

On this week’s episodes of Michael Moore’s podcast, Mike and his crew disobey the college presidents and NYC’s Mayor Adam’s orders to “outsiders” to stay off the campuses and to stop trying to “radicalize” our youth (because young people don’t have a mind of their own). Mike’s crew (Angie, Donald, and “Anonymous”) paid a visit to protest encampments made up of students from Columbia, City College, City University (CUNY), NYU, etc. to hear directly from the brilliant student organizers of these historic demonstrations. These are the voices you won’t hear on the mainstream media. Listen here to their eloquence and passion as they take a stand for the Palestinian people.
