Charges are being filed against the UC Irvine students who disrupted (and ultimately prevented) a speech by Israeli ambassador Michael Oren. Immediately after the incident, the students claimed implausibly that the disruptions were not organized, and emails later surfaced that proved that the disruptions were organized by the university’s Muslim Student Union.
The real problem here is the death of respect for free speech at our universities. Far too many students seem to believe that preventing someone from speaking is somehow an exercise of free speech. Orwell would be amused.
