Yeah, if they "don't want to listen" they can literally go anywhere else.

They are explicitly trying to stop others from speaking and any public university should have them removed, by force if necessary, in order to uphold the first ammendment.

If they actually have a problem with what's being said, and not just the speaker themselves, they should have no problem crafting a coherent argument, being university educated, right..?
