The way to attack so-called human shields is to make them not want to be human shields anymore.
By ignoring them as Greenfield suggests, he allows them to bask in their limelight and feel like they won something. What needs to happen is for reasoned adults to be seen in contrast to them (preferably on the same stage), taking their disrespectful righteously indignant barbs and deflecting them with real-world experiential solutions. These adults must debate the students into logical holes where they become frustrated, angry, and irrational in response. They must be confronted with facts, statistics, prior legislations, and other historical evidence that student minds haven't absorbed yet.
The students must be made to feel embarrassed by their youth and inexperience, as Ronald Reagan once quipped, such that they would think twice before fronting for an issue again until they are mentally and emotionally prepared for the rebuttals, and until they can comport themselves respectfully towards more accomplished people than themselves.

I hear you and don’t disagree. The problem I see is that a high percentage of today’s younger people are disconnected from God, natural law, truths and realities, critical thought. Purposely, to do exactly what they’re doing now.
They have been indoctrinated to a cult-like level (from pubic school, TV, movies, social media, college, workplace) into cultural Marxism. Political correctness. Sensitivity training and concensus building. White guilt. So, we’re not dealing with people with the sensibilities of, say, 1940. They’re emotion-driven.
Our approach to these youth needs to be carefully considered. Or, maybe, mentally brutal, shock and awe. Who knows?
