I took part in a demonstration today organized by our CSULB Campus Coaliton Against Hate group(11/13) we protested the visiting and debate of Jim Gilchrist and his Neo-Nazi group the Minutemen because we in no way believe that dehumanizing immigrants, recycling racist fear, and promoting hatred against communities of color are valid arguments that should be tolerated or spread on our campus. I witnessed the passion at which me and my fellow students and faculty stood together in solidarity in a non-violent protest against this person and the spread of his ignorant and close-minded ideas. I would like to point out that (according to a flyer past out, author unknown), "the protest was not about restricting free speech- we respect the right for controversial and challenging discussion. We are opposed to the validation of the Minutemen as a legitimate contributer to academic discourse." Being Latino and both of my parents immigrating to this country for a better life, I believe that no one should be denied the chances and opportunities that I was offered in this country.
