It's a revealing position regardless. "Things were fine, but a few instigators decided they wanted their children to attend public schools and all hell broke loose."He never said that black people integrated into white schools were to blame.
He said the act caused hostility.
YOU GUYS took that as "Wait, so you're saying black people were to blame. Bruh. Closet bigot."
Except he never said that.
Holster your weapons. Damn.
This "act" didn't cause hostility. The hostility caused the "act."
To accept that "things were fine and then the Little Rock Nine showed up," you have to accept the denial of human and constitutional rights as "peaceful."
Things were not "fine."
Children attempting to peacefully attend school is not an act of hostility. Denying children this right - whether through violence or intimidation - IS an act of hostility.
If for some reason the university is not permitted to carry out expulsions in this case, perhaps a group of student volunteers should exercise their speech rights and tail these bigoted frat boys to every class and building on campus while shouting "racist." We'll see how quickly the volunteers are forced to leave to preserve the sanctity of the learning environment.
