In a statement from the White House, President Joe Biden denounced school murder, but he objected to suggestions to alter his Middle Eastern plan or appoint the National Guard to restore purchase.
From the Roosevelt Room, he said,” Quiet opposition is in the best history of how Americans respond to significant problems.” ” But neither are we a lawless region. We are a civil world, and get had prevail”.
College campuses , across the United States, have seen significant tumult in recent months as a result of pro-Palestinian protests, with kids and other protesters occupying houses and establishing camps that have occasionally resulted in crime.
Biden has been under pressure to define his position on the subject, which he did in notes that lasted for about three minutes on Thursday night.
” Aggressive opposition is not protected. Quiet opposition is”, he said. ” It’s against the law when violence occurs. Property destruction is hardly a peaceful protest. It’s against the rules. Vandalism, trespass, breaking windows, shutting down schools, forcing the cancellation of groups and markings — None of this is a quiet protest. Disturbing people, intimidating individuals, instilling fear in individuals is never tranquil protest”.
Similar to the Vietnam War protests in 1968, where there were widespread protests and, in some cases, panic. Some say that the protests will encourage former president Donald Trump, who won the election in 2016 with a law-and-order message.
Trump fought hard to establish a clear line between First Amendment-protected talk and illegal activity that goes beyond words, backing the protests as long as they adhere to a set of restrictions.
” Conflict is necessary to democracy“, he said. ” But opposition may not lead to dysfunction, or to denying the rights of others so students can complete the quarter, and their school knowledge”.
He denounced hatred along with Islamophobia, saying it is” no place for love speech or crime of any kind” in the U. S.

” Make no mistake, as leader I will usually support completely speech”, he said. ” As well as powerful in upholding the rule of law, I’ll usually be.”
Biden was asked by investigators if he would change his mind regarding Middle Eastern affairs and if he would support the formation of the National Guard following his comment. His answer to both was,” No”.
