Saturday Night Live tackled the college campus pro-Palestinian protests by taking aim at high education’s high tuition costs and questionable payoff.
Rather than tackle the Gaza issue itself, SNL instead went with the POV of parents, featuring a NY1 roundtable of parents concerned about their children attending the school.
While two of the parents earnestly expressed concerns over their kids participation in the demonstration, Kenan Thompson played a father of a daughter, an African-American studies major at Columbia University, who would have none of it. He groused about the idea that graduation ceremonies would be canceled.
“This girl started her college during Covid,” he said. “Had me out here paying $68,000 for tuition, and she is at my house taking classes on Zoom, learning about the applied history of the BET Awards. IF she don’t walk — Columbia is going to be on the news for something else!”
More to come.
