Please, I ask this House to join me in supporting this effort to ensure that the institution that we entrust to promote democratic principles remains open for review and discussion. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and help us put the lie to all of these protesters that come down and pretend, or that, through misinformation, believe that some sinister activities are taking place there. Please support this amendment. It's good for the school, and it's good for American democracy.
