peter12, I understand and agree with your point of view on freedom of speech, however I think it would be a lot different if you had been harassed by these people, or witnessed it happening to single students who were walking by just trying to mind their own business. In my eyes this has nothing to do with the message they were trying to communicate, it has everything to do with them violating the terms that the University set out for them to follow.
