Parents of Columbia University and Barnard students spoke out on the threat facing their children as anti-Israel protests continued.

Columbia University parents are sounding the alarm about the 'nightmare' situation their children are facing as anti-Israel protests continue on the campus. Amy Gallatin told 'Fox & Friends First' that the unrest has led to many sleepless nights. Though her daughter attends Columbia’s partner school Barnard, she lives near the location of the ongoing protests. 'Fortunately, I live very close to campus, but you worry,' Gallatin told co-host Todd Piro Wednesday.

You have to be very careful of where you walk, where you go. And, even just being able to go and choose what dining hall that you want to go to, or being able to go to the gym or being able to go to the library for that matter. … The climate’s been pretty toxic since October 7.' Gallatin said she left the decision of whether to transfer to a different school up to her daughter, who she said loves attending Barnard and worked hard to get there.
