Due to some ill-informed judges over the years, some places have lost sight of what colleges and universities are for, what their rights and responsibilities are, and what their students' rights and responsibilities are.
Universities are places of research and education. They have a right and responsibility to make sure their students and professors are safe, and feel safe, so they can work and study with minimal distractions. The students also have a responsibility to the institution, and to the other students, to not be distractions and offenders themselves. Richard Spencer does not have a "right" to speak at the University of Florida, simply because a handful of students invited him, or the auditorium is offered to the public for a fee on some nights. The University has a duty to make sure that its students are only subjected to viewpoints that the University has vetted as informed by the standards of scholarship. But today's judges don't recognize that universities have a right to protect their students from verbal abuse from outsiders. Today's judges say everyone has a right to spew hatred on campus. So, what to do? The only thing left is for the students themselves to give such speakers the heckler's veto. With the encouragement of certain professors, usually. This is a lesson. If the courts won't enforce what's right, usually the people take it into their own hands. These hecklers aren't snowflakes. They're doing the job that judges won't let the universities do. No one "needs" to hear a bigot speak. Herschel Walker's son, a student at UCLA, does have a right to study in peace. Apparently he's being heckled by some of the hecklers who have made it their job to keep the Richard Spencers of the world away. This is another lesson. Any weapon raised will hit unintended targets. Fortunately, UCLA seems to have given him some security guards. They should also punish any students trying to bother Mr. Walker. Judges have also ruled that universities have very little authority to stop students from harassing each other, again, the judges cite free speech. This is also wrong. Anyone who hassles Walker the student simply because his dad is a prominent conservative should be suspended from classes and expelled if they persist. Hassling the relatives of political candidates isn't part of free speech as the founders intended it.
