Question of the Day!

I think the same thing that I thought in the 60s when I was just a child. I saw entitled college students occupying buildings that did not belong to them, causing property damage and let's not forget the protest organizations that blew things up in the name of peace. I also remember Alan Dershowitz defending the right of the KKK to march in Skokie, Illinois. That solidified my attitudes towards protest and free speech. The right to free speech is codified in the Constitution as is the right to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances. I will always put the Constitution first and I vigorously defend the right to protest peacefully, even if I hate what you're saying. But I abhor the use of violence and believe that those protesting may not deny others their rights. The infiltration of outside agitators and the anti-semitism evident in these protests is disturbing, to say the least. Many of those protesting don't have a grasp on the issues, from either a current or an historical view. These violent protests are not meant to bring peace, they are meant to cause chaos. Students belong on campus, revolutionaries need to fight in their own spaces.
