John,
Republican Candidate for Connecticut's 2nd Congressional District Mike France released this statement in the wake of pro-Hamas demonstrations on several college campuses: |
“The behavior exhibited by these ‘students’ is repulsive and doesn’t belong anywhere in a civilized society. Actions have consequences and the calls for violence and other threats against their fellow classmates because of their religious beliefs should be clear grounds for dismissal from their respective schools. These students are entitled to their First Amendment rights, but that does not mean there aren’t potential consequences nor does it guarantee them admission to our schools. I’m also immediately calling on the FBI to place each and every protestor who declares allegiance to Hamas on the FBI’s Terrorist Watchlist. The leadership of these universities is clearly unable to ensure the safety of their students and now we must call in additional resources to ensure that students can safely return to the classroom to continue their education.”
