At Florida International University, seven students are being punished for wearing T-shirts. A university banning words and prohibiting expression is contrary not just to the First Amendment but everything that a college is supposed to represent.
In a conversation between University President Jeanette Nuñez and former baseball player Alex Rodriguez, the students silently stood up, revealed shirts that read “ICE OFF FIU” and quietly walked out a few minutes later.
Obviously, we all worry about the deep intellectual loss that could occur if anyone was momentarily distracted from this essential discussion between a university president and a retired baseball player. But we must allow protests to occur that do not substantially disrupt events or prevent them from being heard, even when the events have the utmost global importance.
