I thought the purpose of a college education is to send students into the world with minds open and questioning, not closed and self righteous? I would believe that the objective would include speakers with varying points of view on the world.
Essentially what students are doing to people like Mike Pence, Ann Coulter, Donald Trump, Heather Mac Donald is what experts term "linguistic constructivism, which holds that we don't merely describe or represent the world in language , language creates the world and ourselves ( i.e. I identify as)...if reality is nothing more than a mere narrative then we can control what people say or are forbidden to say.
Speech repression comes in many forms such as trigger warnings, microagressions, claims of cultural appropriations, claims of non-binary sex ,safe spaces Gosh with lingusitic constructivism , specious claims can be endless.

The students have heard the words of pence, coulter and trump before. They don't like what those people have to say. They should not be subjected to them at THEIR GRADUATION.
The students also have something to say and have clearly demonstrated that by walking out on the devos, pence, trump, coulter, etc. It is their First Amendment right.
It is clear that trump does not support the First Amendment. He makes it quite evident every time he pouts and calls the news "fake" because he does not like what has been reported about him.
