A College professor actively participated in shutting down the speaker. It’s bad enough that callow students interfered with the First Amendment rights of a speaker and his audience, and that College administrators and security stood idly by; but it’s much more serious for a professor to participate in such interference. It’s the professors, after all, who are supposed to be educating the students about their ethical, legal, and civic responsibilities.

Assistant Professor Kristen Parks of the Political Science Department is seen in the videos standing shoulder-to-shoulder in solidarity with the screaming protesters. As she moves next to them, she puts one arm behind a protester reassuringly: Web Link Then she pats another on the shoulder, and stands in silent support for over five minutes: Web Link .

It’s clear from the videos that Professor Parks was not trying to protect the protesters from violence. She even says as much in The Daily Journal: “People were angry on both sides but I don’t think it was violent … I tend to trust that we are safe here”. Web Link
