The point is how hard it is to access perspectives. Have you thought "like a bat" lately? As a country we fail when cannot do that well.

I recommend working to reduce censorship in your universities as a first step.Then you can access many more whilst learning to evaluate them

How do we have a censorship problem at universities? Loud, uncomfortable protests are not censorship.

Yes, if they're a "heckler's veto." I strongly support protest. But that does not involve preventing others from hearing a chosen speaker

Question is where to draw line. California Supreme Ct said: "heckling, interrupting, harsh questioning, and booing" can advance 1st Amnd.

Those are all fine - with proviso that heckling is not so severe or prolonged as to prevent speaker from speaking of others from hearing.

The heckler's veto is not a relevant concept if the speaker can take the stage without fear for their safety-even if they strain to be heard

It's not the speaker's rights (so much) of concern here, but the listeners'. See:https://www.samharris.org/podcast/item/facing-the-crowd …
