The New School In Exile

Today a public forum was held to discuss recent developments following the occupation in front of the 65 5th Avenue New School campus. Students, faculty, and activists voiced their concerns against New School president Bob Kerrey and expressed their disgust at the way the NYPD have handled themselves. Students shouted situationist-inspired slogans and jokes as the discussion moved towards civil disobedience, blocking traffic and taunting police.

As the mob was dispersed by police it moved to Bob Kerrey's 11th street home until was was again moved and relocated to the site of the New School occupation last week. Marchers linked arms and blocked traffic until the police arrived and made several arrests.

Again the crowd moved, this time to the site of the NYU occupation where Reverend Billy was scheduled to perform an exorcism on the NYU building. He held the attention of protesters for several minutes until some students with a megaphone began shouting at him to stop distracting attention from the actual demonstration. I'm not sure if he finished because the original march moved again to the Sixth Police Precinct to support those arrested in front of the New School building.
