Like President Cabrera reminds us all the time, we are a university of inclusion. No one deserves to be treated poorly or feel uncomfortable on university grounds (or anywhere, for that matter). We must take the high road and lead by example. George Mason University is a hate-free zone.

I would amend this to further not "hate-free" but being open to cultures and identities that we don't know personally but are willing to learn about and be educated. We have incredible diversity in this area and while it is not possible eliminate hate, we can always focus on increasing the love and peace among people.

College students are right to take a strong stand against prejudice and show the rest of the nation what real courage is. Hate mongering is based on exploiting fear.

Hopefully this might also mean that I will no longer have "you deserve hell" being yelled at me as well as the awful signs they hold up in front of the JC
That NEEDS to stop NOW.

GMU—of all places and spaces—needs to be (at the very least) a physically safe space for my Muslim peers.

While I am a firm supporter of free speech, I am confident that individuals at an institution of higher learning can vigorously exchange ideas and viewpoints in a respectful and appropriate manner. I firmly support these efforts to make our community a SAFE place to learn free from hateful speech.

We must stand for equity and justice for all, and most particularly in these current times of such global unrest.

Hate has no place in our school or our society. We are stronger when we celebrate our diversity and listen to each others stories. We are better when we support each other in with respect and compassion.

Supporting the initiative to support our students and faculty, to build and maintain a dialogue, and also the call to address systems of oppression and privilege with respect to differing capcaities and mental and physical challenges.
