Shades of Protest

As today’s letter in the Yale Daily News suggests, and I believe has been ignored in the debate on this blog, is that there is a huge difference between this exact behavior by Yale students and if this had been a speech outside of Yale.

It was less of a crusading, zealous and pointed protest than a within-the-system expression of disapproval. Hardly worthy of a Mother Jones mention.

Therefore, this “protest” - the actual accomplishments of which I question - is hardly a precedent for anything.
