The students should have been given a chance to air their disagreement with the choice for keynote speaker.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe that the presidential candidate you mentioned did get to speak.

But when that disagreement promotes the silencing of a speaker that has an "opposite" view, doesn't that go against the very heart of freedom and dissent?

You're digging here Wutone for a win, and it's not going to happen.
One might just as easily say that movie critics are silencing our first amendment right to free speech.
Nowhere does she say McCain should not speak or anything of the sort. IMO, she gave a preview and criticism of it. I really think you're digging for your arguments here.

Yes, especially when that speaker specializes at making people question his credibility. I'm pretty sure a lot of those students who graduated from the New School have seen the following vid and countless others. And I believe they're quite mature enough to think and decide for themselves.

Ah, you mention Pearl Harbor. Were you aware of this?

methinks you have quite a lot to fear from the politicians within your government especially when they start lying to you. Lest you forget, the first casualty of war is often the truth.

Well, I suppose that would be a perception thing, because I don't perceive it at all where she is trying to keep McCain from speaking.
My last post still stands. She's not trying to silence him, she is critiquing his speech.
