Noted: Finally, Kremer is proposing to protect speakers on UW campuses by prohibiting students and faculty from protesting. In my opinion, every speaker should be heard respectfully, but responsible free speech by the audience should also not be curtailed. If, in rare instances, students or faculty see a speaker as lying, grossly misrepresenting the facts, or advocating discrimination, they should be allowed to protest, even if that means that views that Kremer might value are exposed to ridicule. That is democracy.
