Campus protests continue
This week saw increasingly violent protests on college campuses coast to coast as students protest the U.S. support of the ongoing Israel retaliation against Hamas and the Palestinians in Gaza. The What's Your Point panel discusses the civil disobedience, vandalism and violence and how we as a society should react.
As the campus unrest reached a crescendo - President Joe Biden, no doubt leery of alienating younger voters, finally spoke out, " There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it's antisemitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans."
This civil disobedience, vandalism and in some instances, violence has escalated over the span of weeks now. My question - how should we, as a society, react?
