I have a hard time understand how this is a ‘victory’ for those involved in the protest. The school will not remove recruiters just because 50 members of its activist community were making out in front of their booth and screaming nonsense.
If they really wanted to challenge the role and methods of military recruiters, they should have tried to organize a civil discussion with them. The protest however only went to reinforce the rest of the school that there are those within who are actively trying to curtail their rights to gain information.
If you don’t want to be part of the military, then don’t join. It really is that easy!
