It’s time for college students to rethink how they protest, says Eboo Patel, founder of Interfaith America, a nonprofit that works with hundreds of campuses to foster healthier dialogue. In a wide-ranging interview with Ian Bremmer for the latest episode of GZERO World, Patel criticizes the confrontational culture on campuses, urging a shift from romanticizing conflict to embracing cooperation. He challenges the dichotomy of oppressors and oppressed, advocating for a more nuanced approach to diversity that resembles a potluck of ideas.
“We absolutely need to change the default setting on campuses from confrontation is romanticized to cooperation is the norm."
College campuses are actually the perfect venues for this kind of dialogue, Patel says, and professors and administrators can leverage their intellectual backgrounds to foster the kinds of productive dialogue that students need more than ever. Everything else, like demanding the disbanding of campus police, Patel says, is nothing more than a distraction.

If I hear one more "all cultures are beautiful" I'm gonna throw up
I don't understand why people would shut down a college in Michigan over a war between Israel and Palestine on the Gaza strip. America has a military alliance with Israel but Israel is it's own autonomous country with it's own military industry and objective's. Protesting in America won't change that.
Israel is free to do whatever it wants, but not on America's dime. You want to be autonomous, do it with your own money. I don't understand people that think Americans should accept another country like Israel geopolitically weakening our country. When Israel officials troll the US on twitter with things like "Hamas
It's noxious hearing wealthy trust-fund baby capitalists talk about romanticized grassroots activism.
Ian is way out of his bailiwick here. Go back to romanticising unchecked board room greed.
1:20 - He missed the metaphor completely.
What about the caste system, slavery, or cannibalism. Are these cultures still beautiful?
