If kids can't learn that the world is full of people who might disagree with them and how to navigate through the world knowing that, they won't make it out here.
Does this apply to people like Milo and Coulter? In a perfect world they'd get their stage and about 45 audience members and they would slink away and whine about how misunderstood they are
The trouble is - they aren't misunderstood. Thus - the protests
See, these kids already know they disagree with them. They have something to say about what these people represent
I personally say let these speakers speak, but I'll be goddammed if I don't understand these kid's motivation
Let them protest. Peacefully

Then I assume you would be perfectly fine with right wing people going in to every feminists indoctrination class and shouting so no professor can teach.
Is a classroom the same as a public performance?

No I dont understand what you are saying because yopu are being intentionally vague.
I couldn't be any more obvious. You just want to argue something for the sake of arguing
Or else you want me to agree with you about how well mannered the protestors should be. I don't agree with you
Are we clear?

Should protestors be able to stop people from entering to hear speakers, in a non violent way (like blocking the door)

Should protestors be allowed to heckle speakers so that they may not speak and people cant hear them.
Did you understand the kids motivations in those cases as well?

but I do not have the right to set in the entire class screaming my protest so that the teacher can not be heard.

You likely agreed to some document during enrollment that stated this isn't acceptable behavior in class, so you would be removed for violation of that agreement.
Now rather that agreement extends to speakers on campus is something else.
At some point illegal actions might be the moral choice. Campus protests? I guess it depends

Nope. Not really possible to do this without assault, which is illegal.
