Quote of the Day
“We have a right to protest in this country, including on college campuses. It is also the case that there is a difference between protest and violence, and threats of violence and disruption of students' access to safe education," the governor said. "It's important that we engage in a civil way and debate and have discourse and discussion in this country about policies -- that's really important, that's who we are as Americans." "I think the president has been clear on calling for a ceasefire -- something that I support," Healey said. "I think it's also clear that we should continue to support Israel with that funding.”
Healey voiced her support Friday for how police were deployed to clear recent pro-Palestinian encampments at Northeastern University and Emerson College, part of a national wave of protests and subsequent student arrests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war.
