Umm... go back and read my OP.

Yes I did. You think they are being disrespectful and should not protest but just sit and be quiet and grin and bear it and listen to a man that actively try to deny rights to minorities.
I know you support their right to free speech and protest. Or at least I hope so.
But you told me that was not the point.
Make up your mind.
Um he want to force his morality on them. He wants them to shut up and sit. That to me suggests that he doesn't want them to exercise their right to free speech and protest.
Who does??

This is becoming dangerously close to being a mud-pit thread. I don't want this thread to be suspended or closed. This thread has been good so far despite the mod closing it two times temporarily.

My advice then is if you want to quote someone then take the time to actually quote them instead of misrepresenting what they say to fit your little narrative.

It just depends on how we see it. Some see it as being very disrespectful. Others think it's "heroic". That's why I brought up an hypothetical. It does seem a little disrespectful to me. My parents would probably spank my butt for it if I did that. LOL. But I understand why they did this. Even if I wouldn't walk out, it would be hard for me to stomach listening to him after knowing what he did.

These protesters can cry about how a speaker 'tainted' their 'sacred' commencement by existing, but they destroyed the event for others who really did consider it sacred enough to try and not disrupt it.
