Roadhouse Flashbacks

there was a recent student protest at usc against sweatshop labor-produced items being sold at the usc bookstore (more specifically that usc is a member of a particular labor watchdog board that apparently is not as tough as another particular labor watchdog board). a group of students conducted a sit-in at the president of the university's office. they were given personally addressed letters informing them they would be expelled from the university and would have to leave university housing by the following day. their parents were also called and informed of the sit-in. they promptly disbanded the protest. now the administration building is on lockdown for the remainder of the semester. anyone entering the building must be checked in and possibly escorted by the department of public safety. is this not the most ridiculous waste of security? shouldn't they be keeping the students safe instead of checking ids like some sort of group of bureaucratic bouncers? and this is not even mentioning the unbelievable overreaction to a peaceful student protest. facists.
