johnray Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Schools are for learning. They should protest outside. The noise is ridiculous when people are trying to take exams. There's always some <deleted> dressed as a dragon and banging drums or something on a normal day. Edited July 22, 2020 by johnray 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Another spineless dean or his pampers are overflowing with manure from Bangkok. I suggest the students then congregate outside the campus so the face of the dean and the university is saved. I assume that this particular university does not offer study courses in political science - or am I wrong again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Whatever and wherever protests take place, there's always a law prescribing it in one way or another.it A private place, a government area, obstruction of a public highway or place, riotous assembly, covid rules. But protests are permitted, once permission has been granted, after a risk assessment, agreement of the landowner, etc..... The man has the sheep by the short and curlies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Protest is a sign of a healthy democracy, where different views can be expressed. A university is one place that should allow free expression to develop questioning minds, not cannon fodder for large corporations. Mahasarakham obviously not read that part of the good education handbook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete BS I guess the directors had a phone conversation with someone.. Students know what to do now... take it to the streets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I suggest a new location - in front of the Dean's house. If anyone want to cite emergency decree laws and possible spread of non-existing Covid-19, drive around in a parade of motorcycles and cars without physical contact. Imagine that would be funny.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
