I hope it was a valuable experience for you. While I understand that free speech is a critical tenet of our democracy, I think we all agree on that. I do worry about whether the campus protests we've seen this year veer into hate speech. Thankfully, the protests on the campuses in my district, Pennsylvania 7, which hosts a number of wonderful schools like Lehigh University, Muhlenberg College, Lafayette College, and so forth, the protests have been peaceful and respectful, and I'm deeply appreciative of our students for that.
