I’m not sure that a brief disruption followed by an opportunity for the speaker to say stuff is even “morally wrong.” The heckler can’t veto. But he can heckle.
I agree—it’s a matter of degree. But public lecturers aren’t entitled to rapturous silence from their audience. If the Prime Minister can endure the MPs, I’d think a law professor could do the same with students.
The British HOC is a mad house. I don’t think that example should be followed. People need to give speakers a chance to say what they want to say. If they don’t like it, they’re free to respond with their own counterspeeches. Heckling is undemocratic, obnoxious, immature, & rude.
Hear, hear! (See what I did there?)
Major knee-slapper, lol. To be fair, I admire many aspects of the Westminster System, & I like the expression, “Hear, hear!”. But I dislike the way they interrupt each other. I much prefer the American model in which greater respect is shown to the speaker in legislative sessions
Though I have to admit that MPs actually sit through debates. And I wish we had PM's Question Time in the US.
Of course; I am just concerned that we not mistake this incident for one as severe as what happened at William & Mary not long ago. It was still wrong; it still shouldn't have happened; but degree does matter.
Haha. You'll tell yourself anything. Any intentional disruption is wrong.
