After more than a week of silence, President Biden addressed the growing campus chaos on thursday. Theres the right to protest but not the the right the cause chaos with. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations, none of this is a peaceful protest.
