However, diversity has always helped me to grow as a person, especially with regard to different points of view and stepping in the shoes of others. I guess I must have really different values, especially since I am so much younger than everyone and grew up in a different culture. | ||

I hope the debate inspires us to discuss policy issues instead of whatever outrageous thing said by one candidate or another or, by cursory glance, a 30(?) page discussion on if a poster is racist or not (even if it turns out to be true it's still toxic to read). | ||

Police escorted Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein off Hofstra University’s campus this afternoon before tonight’s first presidential debate. Authorities encountered Stein on the college campus in Hempstead, New York, and asked the third party candidate, who has not garnered enough support to participate in the debates, to show the proper credentials, which she could not do, police said. She was “nicely escorted” off the grounds around 2:30 p.m. ET, a Nassau County Police Department spokesman told ABC News. Stein also tweeted about the incident, saying she was on campus “doing an interview” when police put her and her team “in a van” and escorted them out. Earlier, Stein’s campaign said she had obtained a credential to come in and do interviews at the media filing center in the early afternoon. Stein had planned to challenge her exclusion from tonight’s event by hosting a rally outside the secured perimeter of the debate hall beginning around 5 p.m. ET. She said she will be live on Twitter’s Periscope app answering the same questions as Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump on the debate stage. Stein’s campaign said she will not “risk arrest” this time, because there is an outstanding warrant for her arrest over her involvement in a recent protest against a controversial pipeline project in North Dakota. Still, her campaign spokeswoman Meleiza Figueroa said they will attempt to get the “spirited demonstration … as close to the gates as possible." In 2012, Stein and her running mate were arrested outside Hofstra University when they tried entering the premises during a presidential debate between President Obama and then-Republican nominee Mitt Romney. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/3rd-party-candidate-jill-stein-escorted-hofstra-police/story?id=42372259 | ||
