Again, you have your opinion and we have ours. Welcome to America. Yeah the Department of Justice is also biased too.

We aren’t the New York Times. Just a blogger that believes in justice. Thanks for the comment.

It is very hard to comment on a blog that has an agenda. Please, do not report things as true when you are yourself “pro-huelga.” This is not an objective forum by no means. I totally agree with Wilfredo Ramos. The student have the right to protest but they are themselves infringing the rights of those who want to study. Nobody is trying to shut them up because they have the right to fight for what they believe in. However, these students have to understand that by them speaking of their freedom of speech rights, they have to refer to ALL THE STUDENTS EQUALLY. I was a part of the UPR from the 7th grade in the UHS until my graduation. I have seen great strikes that I was a part of and the most senseless strikes , most of them led by students who just want to sneak in political ideals and have nothing to do with representing the student body. I have been in assemblies where the “huelguistas” have attacked other students when the vote came out (by a vast majority) against the strike. And please, don’t even try to say that this did not happen because I was there and I lived it. I have been insulted during class because I would not support the strike. These extremist groups have the entire student body scared to speak up. And even the funniest thing, no matter what happens the strikes are not about negotiating, the strikes are about the administration giving in to the demands of the students. That is no negotiation, that is extortion.

Socialism? Can you prove that? Give me accountable and verifiable proof that socialism is now taking over the island and I will gladly report it. In the meantime, I find it hard to believe that a student in Mayagüez is having problems going to school in Mayagüez when the disturbances are happening in Río Piedras. So the UPi system is shutting down in Mayagüez because of a minority of students in Río Piedras? Again, send me links and proof and I will gladly report. And if you could get me to the anti-strike spokesperson, that would be great as well.

Yes, you have the right to attend the school, but people who have issues also have the right to protest. They don’t have the right to get brutalized by the police. I though Puerto Rico was America or are we really part of Latin America?

In PR are violating civil and constitutional rights to thousands of students who wish to complete a career and so-called students ‘huelguitas’ are directly responsible for wanting to strike as if the UPR was an employer and they like working with the right kind to strike, our constitution gives them the right to protest, but not to prevent those who wish to study the course and see their normal duties affected by the demonstration, because a noisy minority, hidden and politically motivated by believing groups seeking to impose socialism ideals of a majority of students who take their lives sacrificing forward. 10 of the 11 campuses coexist with the police within the campusses. Only in Rio Piedras establishing these disturbances. Are or are a minority group, tell me, please.
