Pro-Hamas protesters at UCLA started issuing wristbands to people they approve

Here's an audio recording of a phone call from a parent where the UCLA police
department admits they're intentionally violating dozens of federal civil
rights and equal access laws, not to mention the Constitution itself, by
allowing this to happen:

I feel obligated to wear the yellow armband with star of David in
solidarity with the Jewish students who are being discriminated against.

I wouldn't do that but if I needed to get across the campus and the
quickest path way was through their encampment I wouldn't hesitate to
walk through it. All without wearing any sort of arm band marking me
as being with them or against them.

Imagine if a bunch of white kids had seized half of UCLA and were only
allowing white people in; excluding blacks from the classes and facilities
they'd paid tuition for. Does anyone think the UCLA police and/or
administration would be sitting on their hands then?

Sadly that's all too true. We've been conditioned over the years to
over-react when it comes to the mistreatment of blacks.

But when it's Jews, it's totes cool, even down to identifying the Jews based
on what they're wearing or not wearing. That doesn't sound Nazi-esque or
anything.

And all this from 'progressive' Democrats who've spent the last four years
braying that Trump that was going to destroy 'muh democracy'.

People aren't perfect. Hopefully someone in the administration comes
to realize the problem with treating one group differently from the
other.
