Students have every right to voice their grievances.  The speech most in need of protection is that with which we most vehemently disagree.

“I just don’t think that an institution that, you know, prides itself on diversity and inclusion, and like, offering such a rich liberal arts program can do both, like, I think you have to choose one or the other, and it seems like Hofstra is perfectly content with choosing Thomas Jefferson over literally everything else,” added the student.

It’s like, you know, like the university should like literally pride itself in its English rhetoric program, because, like, their students literally sound like literal idiots.

It’s nice that we are raising such historically ignorant yet militant Taliban wannabes.

Yet, like, they don't allow like conservative speech, you know like Ann Coulter, or anyone that isn't far left progressive, you know, like Bernie.

Who’s saying they don’t have a right to “voice their grievances?”  That doesn’t mean that the school needs to indulge their moral preening and take down a statue of one of our founding fathers. These Little Talibans need to be treated like children and hear “no” every once in a while when their requests are ridiculous and damaging to the rich history of our founding.

^^^^This.  Why should the University cave to a few students?  Why should our Founding Fathers be demonized by the Left?  Oh, some of them owned slaves?  Well boo, effing hoo.  So did a lot of people in that era.  Everyone could be demonized in history. 

The Italians, Irish, and Jews were spit upon, ridiculed, not given jobs, murdered, etc by city people who's ancestors are now big liberal/progressive, far leftists.  Let's hold them accountable for those atrocities.

There are students defending the statue of the former presdient.  Predictably, they have been accused of being racist white supremacists.
