University students are not the only ones protesting the Israel-Hamas. Columbia University has emerged as the epicentre of demonstrations that spread across the country after the college's president requested earlier this month that protesters there be removed, leading to arrests.
At a high school in Austin, Texas, around 100 students walked out of class yesterday and marched around their school campus chanting: “Students together can make the world better", according to local outlet Austin American-Statesman. Over the past 24 hours, dozens of the pro-Palestinian protesters have escalated their demonstrations by occupying an academic building on Columbia's campus, Hamilton Hall.
Others in the Austin high school district also protested in support of Palestinian people, the news outlet said. Columbia has urged staff and students to stay away as the group has barricaded themselves inside the hall. They have limited access to the campus to students living in residential buildings there.
They were joined by high schoolers in the western state of Washington who also walked out of class today in protest. The takeover began after Columbia started suspending students who defied a deadline of 14:00 EST (18:00 GMT) on Monday to leave their two-week encampment nearby.
