We did not approve of the negative protest that took place on our campus on Monday, and was organized by an external group. However, as a public institution we are legally bound to allow any group to assemble and exercise its 1st amendment rights. Despite very negative rhetoric, our students, faculty, staff and public safety officers were professional and restrained. As difficult an experience as this was, we were encouraged by the support, concern, and love shared by those who were victimized by this affront on decency. That said, Camden County College is proud of our students who, the very next day, organized a peaceful gathering in the same courtyard. These photos exemplify what Camden County College does support.
