I protested and demonstrated against Vietnam as a student and I am angry at university officials who have permitted students to abuse free speech. What these students have done with hate speech and ignorant chanting of kill Jews and destroy Israel violates every principal of civil disobedience. They should have been arrested and expelled long ago. They have trammeled the rights of others who want to be educated. Bravo to ending this behavior. Some schools have protested with the dignity of free speech advocates. Too many have violated those norms and deserve what they are finally getting.
