Early in my career I was a counselor on an adolescent psych unit. What I learned quickly was in order to successfully manage the unit, action had consequences. And the more swiftly and firmly the consequences were delivered the more peaceful and productive the program was for all involved. The students involved in these disruptions should be suspend for the remainder and the Dean should be suspended for 90 days. The message sent by the administration should be that we are indifferent about your point of view but it is unacceptable to disrupt a sanctioned event.

The fact that this behavior currently has no consequences is why it will continue to re-occur

Thank you for this encyclopedic update.

I do not take comments from Rod Dreher on free speech as useful given the facts that: (1) he has become a cheerleader for Viktor Orban and his brand of authoritarianism, and (2) his entire intellectual presence was built on “marriage is forever, no matter how bad it gets, and therefore must be restricted from Same-sex couples” and then he divorced his wife. He is no more credible than Jimmy Swaggert.
