Pro-Palestinian protesters have now taken over college campuses across America, from Columbia University in New York to the George Washington University in D.C. and Cal Poly Humboldt in California. The protesters spent the past weekend setting up autonomous zones...

Pro-Palestinian protesters removed the American flag from UNC's quad on Tuesday afternoon and replaced it with the Palestinian one in what was the latest disruptive incident on campus.
