We, members of the Princeton Affiliated Chaplains, are concerned and appalled by any attempt to limit individuals’ entry into the United States because of their religious identity. We know that the religious freedom of every person in this country is tied to — and guaranteed by — the religious freedom of all. We cannot be persuaded for any reason to exclude or penalize any community. The United States is, and will remain, a place of liberty and equal rights because people of faith, conscience and good will stand in solidarity with any who are marginalized. We stand in strongest solidarity with the campus and broader Muslim community against bigotry in any form, and in support of inclusion, respect and safety.

Encampments are not ‘inherently unsafe.’ Princeton should not arrest or expel students for them.
Daily Princetonian Editorial Board“We urge Princeton to cease student arrests and to refrain from expelling students simply for engaging in prolonged protest.”
