LOL
The Emory University website says that the Dalai Lama is visiting. I wonder if this communist will protest his speech too? Ha!
The requirement to submit written questions was to enable as many people as possible to ask questions. This also prevented people from monopolizing the Q + A with long statements and inflammatory comments. It also prevented the taking of time away from others who also had questions.
When the Leftists realized that their tactic to disrupt the Q + A with their inflammatory comments had been shut down with 3 x 5 cards, they decided to take a more direct step: the actual disruption with uncivil action. The result of such a step was a huge mistake. It hurt the reputation of their cause and caused national embarrassment to the university.

What better proof of their two-faced evil? A spokesman for the “National Project to Defend Dissent & Critical Thinking in Academia” brags about shouting-down speakers wiith which he disagrees. US academia really has become sewage. I encourage EVERYONE to not give a dime to colleges who suppress free speech.
” we arrived to the event Wednesday night to a few stacks of index cards with instructions to write our questions down. I believe that it was this situation that led many to shout out, feeling their voices would not be heard otherwise.”
One wonders, if index cards are the norm for all Q & A sessions after speeches at Emory. Any FReepers privy to the answer?
When index cards are outlawed...

I first read muzzied, my mistake, same thing.
