| 1158 | David Mueller | To charge these students so harshly, for their actions in a non-violent protest, makes a mockery of the reverence for non-violent civil disobedience that thrives in the classrooms of Penn State. Part of civil disobedience is accepting consequences, and these students were clearly aware of that, but that does not mean that the Penn State community must stand idly by while the University sees to the most harsh possible charges. This is not the way that a world class university behaves. |

And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

| 1175 | Jeffrey Skakalski | First, I cannot believe that this school's administration would ignore the very troubling issues these protesters want addressed. Sweat shops should never be used to produce apparel with a Penn State logo.
Second, the students were out of line by staying in the building after hours, but it does not warrant the dramatic fines and sanctions the school wants imposed. |

| 1177 | Terrence Burke | To give them jail time for a sit in is ridiculous! They are fighting for civil rights and get arrested? Where is the dialogue? Where is the compassion? |

| 1188 | Josh Macel | I think that these kids did inappropriate things, but in no way is it okay to press charges. If you cannot come to a compromise with these kids I'm not sure of your ability to operate a college. Also, there is no reason to buy sweatshop items if the clothes are in fact sweatshop items; people will buy shirts no matter what. |
| 1189 | Julia Kraut | As an institution of higher learning, Penn State has a responsibility to call others to higher ethics and consciousness of human rights. Ignoring the protest of these students perpetuates the worst in humanity: a tendency to ignore our fellow human beings when they are in need. Penn State has a position of power to bring out the best in students, to educate and equip them to reach out to the needy and to give back to the global community. How are we missing this opportunity to be a positive influence on the world? |

| 1195 | Robert Martin | How can we treat our own students like common criminals? The students charged lent their voice for those that have no voice. Those unselfish acts are a rare trait in our society. These students will likely be difference makers in their communities. Do we really want to hinder them with a criminal record? As a graduate student, I have the additional perspective of my own college experience. There needs to be a more open dialogue between the students and the University in the future. However, prosecuting these students is not the answer. |

| 1197 | Shanna Bowersox | I find it extremely sad and dis-heartening that a group of motivated individuals who were trying to make a difference were treated in such a way. What is our country coming to when citizens are not even allowed to exercise their rights granted by the Bill of Rights in the Constitution? Please end the punishment of peaceful protesters! |
