It is so disconcerting to see young students burning school chairs inside their very own university campus. This is an act of violence and this was never taught to them by their professors. Who instigated them?
Why were students, who were supposed to be in their classes, outside denouncing their school and that of suicide victim Kristel Tejada’s? I think some groups found “a lode of gold” in the issue and mined it to create trouble for their school, for the University of the Philippines and for the government. These vandals should be expelled, they are setting a bad example.
Pity those students who can hardly pay their tuition and who have more needs than them.
The vandals should be criminally charged. They destroyed school property. Money, which otherwise should have been spent for scholars of the school, will now have to be set aside to replace the property. There is something terribly wrong here. I just hope any school should have a way of identifying real students from fake ones. Admission to school should also include some security checks, or our schools will fill with leftists and their supporters.
