I guess it all depends on the cause. If the protest fits into what they support, then it doesn't really matter what they do -- their voices must be heard and heeded. But if the cause isn't one they support then any protest, no matter how innocuous, must be quashed to show that sort of thinking is unacceptable and won't be tolerated.We know J6 wasn’t peaceful because they didn’t set the building on fire.

This is where academic freedom has been skewed. That was raised in another article in The New Yorker by Professor Suk Gersen in January this year. Suk Gersen is based at Harvard Law School and in that January piece she commented that in 2014 she wrote an article for the magazine that was:
about students’ suggestions (then shocking to me) that rape law should not be taught in the criminal-law course, because debates involving arguments for defendants, in addition to the prosecution, caused distress. At the very least, some students said, nobody should be asked in class to argue a side with which they disagree. Since then, students have asked me to excuse them from discussing or being examined on guns, gang violence, domestic violence, the death penalty, L.G.B.T.Q. issues, police brutality, kidnapping, suicide, and abortion. I have declined, because I believe the most important skill I teach is the ability to have rigorous exchanges on difficult topics, but professors across the country have agreed to similar requests. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-w...ademic-freedom

Advocating violence tends to be considered overstepping academic freedom, but when the target of such advocation of violence is Jews, I guess that should be covered under "academic freedom".

Would you care to flesh out your thoughts here? I'm likely to disagree, but I'd like to make sure I'm disagreeing with what you think, not what I think you think."It ain't necessarily so

However, you are welcome to trawl through the site and find actual quotes where anyone described her as "a threat to public order"."It ain't necessarily so

Personally, I'd advice against doing so.

Given the biographies of James Baldwin and Gwendolyn Brooks (two of his influences), that his book revolves around "queerness" (which is political as opposed to merely being homosexual), and the general tone of his WaPo articles, it's not the student indoctrinated the professor."It ain't necessarily so

Broome is not "gay", Broome is "queer" in that the latter has a political implication per queer theory. One can be gay but not queer.P1) If , then I win.
