Sadly, violent anti-Israel protests are even happening here in Texas.
Nearly three dozen arrests have been made at a protest at UT, with one radical left agitator throwing poop at police.
Texas State Troopers and the Austin PD were called in, and appeared to have things under control after ordering the crowd to disperse, but the protest has continued.
According to reports, students at UT walked out of class this morning and gathered at the gym.
However, university officials stated that the protest is not authorized.
A letter sent to the Palestine Solidarity Committee on Tuesday by the Office of the Dean of Students said the event would not be allowed to "proceed as planned."
"Simply put, The University of Texas at Austin will not allow this campus to be 'taken' and protesters to derail our mission in ways that groups affiliated with your national organization have accomplished elsewhere," the letter reads in part. "Please be advised that you are not permitted to hold your event on the University campus. Any attempt to do so will subject your organization and its attending members to discipline including suspension under the Institutional Rules."
The letter also noted that attendees not affiliated with UT will be directed to leave campus, and refusal to comply may result in arrests.
UT's Division of Student Affairs also released a statement:
"UT Austin does not tolerate disruptions of campus activities or operations like we have seen at other campuses. This is an important time in our semester with students finishing classes and studying for finals and we will act first and foremost to allow those critical functions to proceed without interruption."
This is a developing story.
