- IMHO, they (the students) should have walked out in protest of Android lockdown, AI, google ads, enshittfication, spying, profiling, and 100 other reasons the Google CEO is directly more responsible than having Israel as a client. I'm not saying protesting what Israel did and does in Palestine isn't a valid reason, but... they're so ignorant of all the rest of bad things Google does, things that affects them directly.by M95D

- This is an effective form of protest. It causes someone who is clearly courting public affection to see they won't get it. It doesn't interrupt the speech for others who want to hear. But it's also not going to be missed by anyone at the assembly. Moreover, it communicates to the administration–who are also courting donations and prestige–that this gets more difficult when there is a massive gap on an issue students care about between them and leadership.
My only gripe is the lack of a clear ask. But perfect is the enemy of good.
