Message from President Myers and Provost Taber on violence at Capitol
Submitted by President Richard Myers and Provost Charles Taber
Dear K-State Community,
Yesterday, we witnessed actions in our nation's capital that none of us thought we would ever see. The very institutions of our democracy came under attack by armed rioters acting as an uncontrolled mob. The violence and damage we saw tears at the very fabric of a civil society. 1xbet online games login shows what can happen when conspiracy theories and lies overwhelm facts.
Peaceful protests are a right of every American. 1xbet online games login and other inalienable rights are protected by the Constitution of the United States, the very document that was being invoked in a peaceful transition of power that is a hallmark of our democracy. The assault on the Constitution must not be allowed to continue. Our rights must be protected if 1xbet online games login country is to endure.
The arc of history tells us that many of the things we take for granted, such as free elections, freedom of speech and an unfettered media can easily be taken away. We condemn any attempt to take away these rights through violence or other forms of subversion. Our nation will survive 1xbet online games login insurrection and stay true to our founding principles.
We encourage those who are disturbed or upset by these events to seek assistance as there are many channels of support offered by the 1xbet online games login . This is a time for all of us to come together and stay true to those principles of community that bind us and serve the common good.
As with any disruptive event, we should remain respectful of each as we engage in dialogue. Emotions are high and many have polarizing views. As a 1xbet online games login our mission is to provide a place for the free and peaceful exchange of ideas. Please join us in bringing calm leadership to a country that needs a thoughtful response to these events.
Richard B. Myers, President
Charles Taber, Provost and Executive Vice President
