Honestly, the idea of sending the National Guard to college campuses to control protests feels like a massive step backward for our democracy. Senator Kaine's comparison to the Kent State massacre isn't just historical reference; it's a stark warning of how quickly things can escalate when military force is used against civil protests. We should be encouraging our youth to engage in political discourse, not intimidating them into silence. It's concerning that some of our leaders would even consider such a heavy-handed approach to what is fundamentally an expression of free speech and assembly.
