But once they did invite her, the students should have sat quietly, hands in laps. They can show disagreement through lack of clapping.

No offense, but it isn't patronizing to tell these adults HOW to protest?  You want them to protest in the least objectionable and disruptive manner.  That kind of defeats the purpose of the protest.  And for the record, not all the students booed.  Some QUIETLY turned their backs.  [/quote]
I saw the video. Sure sounded noisy and rude to me. Some may have quietly turned their banks, but others did not. Since there's no way to know which ones were belligerent, the entire school will look bad to some emoloyers, and it will work against these students. In some cases. And with the job marker as tough as it is, you don't won't to burn bridges before they're even built.

And adults don't protest like that. That's the point some of us are making. These "adults" are going to have a tough time dealing in the real world. Do you advocate them turning their backs on their bosses if they don't like the assignment or process?[/quote]

Why do you think students will somehow be disrespectful to their future bosses? It's a massive leap in logic. Ms. DeVos isn't their boss; as taxpayers, they pay her salary. She's a politician and they have 1st Amendment rights to give her a piece of their mind.

The 1st Amendment doesn't apply in the private sector workplace.[/quote]
