The school year has begun. My teenager trots off to class in a school uniform, backpack stuffed full, water bottle filled. Early morning and afternoon traffic serve as reminders of the school calendar. kAm$@ 5@ ?6HD C6A@CED] pD C68F=2C=J 2D E96 D49@@= 36== 368:?D E@ C:?8[ E96 D49@@= D9@@E:?8D DE2CE] %9:D E:>6[ 7@FC A6@A=6 — EH@ DEF56?ED 2?5 EH@ 25F=ED — 2C6 5625 27E6C 2 `c\J62C\@=5 F?=@2565 2? p#\`d\DEJ=6 H62A@? 2E pA2=24966 w:89 $49@@= :?

Having wreaked havoc on college campuses across the country, pro-Palestinian protesters are taking their show of grievance and nihilism to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
