I think they still should have looked for another speaker to get an honorary degree. there will always be someone requesting someone else, but mass protest like this is completely ridiculous. I didn't know but she was there at people's graduation, would you like mass protest at your graduation or to have to protest at your graduation?
it seems very possible to find someone most people either like and want or can tolerate or have indifference about.
I don't think that comparison is valid. they were boys accused of a crime (and sadly jocks are frequent perpetraitors in rapes due to the group mentality and other factors. there is a correlation), she is being judged on things she has done and has said- on things she admits to. she even rebuked her thousands of protesters.
