Agree. He has the First Amendment right to free speech. No one has to listen.

Anything for attention these days.
Protesting is a fad right now.

If these students were mature, they would respect the speaker even if they don't agree with him.
They would stay and listen.
That way they would have knowledge from his view points and they would have reason to have a mature discussion on what they disagree with.

By walking out they are acting like babies and will allow themselves to become ignorant.

Will they do it quietly though or will it be loud and obnoxious like little children throwing tantrums because they didn't get their way? Considering the education system these days, I am sure it will be in stand SJW fashion.

That's their right. It is important they stand up for what they believe in.

Lots of talk on liberal talk shows how it is not okay to boo someone when talking but more effective to stand up and walk out or stand and turn back to show -- I do not support your agenda.

Yes, because... when a progressive disagrees.. it is because they are informed, educated, and enlightened.

When a conservative does, it is because they are backward cave dwellers who are in denial.

Actually by walking out, the students are giving a message to Pence. That is the students' freedom of speech. It is the very fact that these students have knowledge of Pence's viewpoint that they want to give him their opinion.

They are giving a message that they are fascists, unwilling to hear anything other than their echo chamber.

This is why they violently attack people that come to their schools to speak and threaten and intimidate any on their campus who do not fall in line with their ideology.

They plan to peacefully leave. Fascists would force them to stay, wouldn't they?

They are walking out. That is not violent.
