Amid anti-Semitic protests last week at Arizona State University, twenty student robots were suspended, all of whom probably couldn't find Gaza on a map. In the wake of this event, a judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona denied a motion to lift the suspensions on Friday [H/T ABC 15].
The defendants filed the lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents on Tuesday. It alleged that the suspensions from the university is causing "irreparable harm" due to their inability to enroll in classes, evidently to study Marxism and How to Protest. They claim their suspensions violate their First Amendment rights, in spite of them violating the rights of Jewish students and professors to get to class.
The students are charged with trespassing.
Approximately 72 unwashed were arrested on Apr. 26 and taken into custody while continuing protests on the Arizona State University campus.
Police officers cleared the Old Main lawn area overnight — those arrested included both students and Marxist, anti-Semitic faculty.

Judge John Tuchi ruled that the students did not provide sufficient evidence that their First Amendment rights were violated, nor that their suspensions was causing "irreparable harm."
The trespassing charges at the heart of the lawsuit have yet to be brought to court.
Students and faculty have demanded the university drop any charges against the protesters with ongoing demonstrations since the arrests and that vegetarian pizza, sunscreen, tampons and water be delivered to the campus immediately. Interestingly, there were no demands for soap.
University president Robert C. Robbins said in a May 1 statement that he directed university officials, campus police, Tucson Police and the Pima County Sheriff's Office to "immediately enforce campus use policies and all corresponding laws without further warning."
Water cannons were not used as it appears some of the students may be allergic to water.
State troopers were seen on campus with pepper ball guns and gas masks. Demonstrators were initially given a 10:30 p.m. deadline to leave or face arrest, although arrests did not begin until much later, as has been the case all over the country due to the time required for school officials to locate their backbones.
