“To say that I have a right to violate your civil rights because you’re offending me is un-American. It is unconstitutional,” said Carson.

Ben Carson Says College Protests Against Racism Could Spark ‘Anarchy’
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson criticized college students for clampdowns on free speech this week, as racial tensions remained high on campuses.
Carson told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Wednesday night that if university officials do not regain control, “we will move much closer to anarchy.” He called for more of an “open discussion” on the issue.”
“This is just raw emotion and people just being manipulated, I think in many of these cases, by outside forces who wish to create disturbances,” he said.
Tensions have stirred among students at the University of Missouri and Yale University in recent weeks, after a series of racially charged incidents happened on campus.
Protests have spread to a handful of other schools in the past week. The Claremont McKenna College dean of students resigned Thursday after protesters decried what they felt were insufficient administrative responses to acts of racism on campus.
