'SNL' takes aim at Columbia University students squandering tuition by skipping class to protest

"Saturday Night Live" humorously addressed the ongoing anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, highlighting a fictional parent's frustration over his daughter potentially skipping classes to join the protests. Kenan Thompson portrayed a father who emphasized the importance of education over activism, expressing his determination to see his daughter graduate despite the high tuition costs and the disruptions caused by the protests. The skit captured the conflict between supporting a cause and ensuring personal responsibilities, such as education, are met.
