This whole thing is a huge lesson in how easily our passions can cloud our judgment

. I mean, Marco Rubio was so convinced that these students were supporting terrorism that he went ahead and targeted them without doing his due diligence. And now we know the truth - they were just exercising their freedom of speech to advocate for a cause they cared about.
It's also a reminder that even in our pursuit of justice, we have to be careful not to confuse dissenting voices with actual support for terrorism

. We need to create space for people to express themselves without fear of retribution or deportation. And if we can't do that, then we're not doing our job as a society

.
This whole debacle also highlights the importance of having a nuanced understanding of complex issues and not jumping to conclusions based on public statements

. It's okay to disagree with someone's views, but it's not okay to assume their intent without evidence.
Let this be a lesson to us all - we have to strive for empathy, critical thinking, and a commitment to the First Amendment
