Excerpt from above Justice News Article: "The events in 2017 at Middlebury College are a stark example. Student protesters violently shut down an event featuring an invited speaker and one of the school’s own professors. As soon as the event began, the protesters shouted for twenty minutes, preventing the debate from occurring. When the debaters attempted to move to a private broadcasting location, the protesters pulled fire alarms, stalked after them, surrounded them, and began physically assaulting them. During the melee, one protester grabbed the professor by the hair and twisted her neck. She suffered a concussion and required a neck brace. When the debaters tried to escape from this siege by car, the protesters pounded on the vehicle, rocked it back and forth, and jumped on the hood. In short, to shut down an academic debate, Middlebury students engaged in a violent riot, potentially breaking numerous laws and causing serious injury.
In response, Middlebury merely placed a disciplinary note in some students’ files. Not a single suspension. Not a single expulsion. Not a single arrest. Students physically assaulted their professor, sending her to the hospital, and the most the school could muster was an apology and stern warning. These protesters engaged in allegedly criminal conduct that should have been dealt with as such. Instead, the administrators allowed an unruly mob to run the campus they are supposed to superintend."
