The University of California – Berkeley (CAL) administration recently ignored a student government resolution demanding the school divest assets from companies conducting business with Israel.

So, what does the student government do next?

Target American firms, of course!

Oliver Darcy of Campus Reform files this report:

The student government at the University of California – Berkeley (CAL) passed a resolution last month that would divest their organization from companies involved in the “United States Prison Industrial Complex” including McDonalds, American Express, and Microsoft.

“Prisoners are forced into cheap labor where they have been reported to be earning as little as 23 cents an hour, creating conditions that are a manifestation of modern day slavery,” reads Senate Bill (S.B.) 100.

“Investing in these aforementioned companies makes the ASUC [Associated Students at University of California] complicit in perpetuation of the previously-mentioned form of modern slavery,” it continues.

The resolution, which passed 17-1, listed American Express, Microsoft, and McDonalds as companies allegedly profiting off the labor of prisoners.

According to the resolution, ASUC currently has $127,990 invested in companies profiting from the prison industrial complex.

The student senator who sponsored the bill declined to provide a comment to Campus Reform, despite multiple requests.

S.B. 100 also cited statistics from an unknown source regarding the number of minorities who are incarcerated, appearing to imply the American justice system harbors racist sentiments.

The numbers cited appear to be consistent with the latest data from the Department of Justice (DOJ), however, the resolution neglects to note that the data from the DOJ also showed that prison rates have been on the decline.
