A Chinese proverb says an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but never be broken.

Columbia University has just set a terrible and dangerous precedent. Speaking out in anguish against war crimes is what we should all be doing. And yes, it will break a few rules. Students should not be punished and silenced for acting based on their conscience.
