Governor Ron DeSantis, "You Don't Have a Right to Pitch a Tent in the Middle of Campus!"
Governor Ron DeSantis underscores the balance between free speech and respectful conduct on Florida's university campuses. He pointedly addresses incidents at Florida State and the University of Florida, where unconventional protest methods like pitching tents on campus were met with practical responses such as turning on sprinklers. His firm stance supports free expression but draws the line at commandeering property or harassing students and faculty, emphasizing that educational institutions are places of learning, not daycare centers.
You have a right to support or not support Israel. That's a First Amendment right. You don't have a right to pitch a tent in the middle of campus and commandeer some of the property. And so what we've seen is, when students—and look, there haven't been that many in Florida, I mean, it's much smaller compared to these others—but when you go and you're bringing a tent or something on a campus lawn, you know what they did at Florida State and University of Florida? They turned the sprinklers on and said, okay, you know, you want to have so that's just how it's going to be. But it's about conduct and it's about making sure you're doing the code of conduct. So you can say whatever you want about Israel, pro or con. What you don't have a right to do is commandeer property. You don't have a right to harass individual students or faculty members. You know, in Columbia, they were blocking a Jewish professor from being able to cross into a building just because he was Jewish. They were targeting him for that. That's different than having an opinion on something. And so, no, what we're doing is absolutely right. I think the University of Florida put out a statement yesterday saying, you know, people can have the views that they want, but the University of Florida is not a daycare center. Like, we're not going to be sitting there and indulging this.
