Campus Pulse: How do you feel about protesting on campus?

October 31, 2019

“Most of the time I don’t agree with the protest I’ve seen at ARC, but I still appreciate freedom of speech. I may have strong feelings about certain topics but it’s important to let people do what they want even if it makes you feel uncomfortable.” – Erin Blackburn | Social Science Major

“I can’t judge people for protesting, it’s their freedom of speech. Even if it’s a topic that I feel strongly about I would still maybe take a moment to sit in and listen to what they have to say.” - Eric Davis | Social Science Major

“When I see people protest about sensitive topics I feel they’re misinformed and spreading that information around ARC. If the protest had anything to do with discriminating against any race or religion that shouldn’t be allowed on campus.”- Mack Eeinger | Civil Engineering Major

“I would be like, ‘what’s going on?’ I would hope that these groups asked permission before protesting on campus. Otherwise I would not agree with that.” Rebecca Littke | Art Major

“We all got a voice, and if we chose to act on it that’s everybody's choice. Protesting should be peaceful because you know what you’re signing up for when doing it.”| Chistopher Lopez | Fire Department Major
