Rick Santorum is no longer running for president but he recently visited Yale to give a lecture. Some students took it upon themselves to protest him and even hiss as he tried to speak.

Alfonse Muglia of the Cornell Insider has the scoop.

Former Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum met avid protests Tuesday evening when he delivered a lecture at Yale University, according to the Yale Daily News.

The protests are causing some at Cornell to wonder what will transpire when Santorum takes the stage next month alongside Howard Dean.

The former Pennsylvania senator was hissed at as he spoke his message of preserving the traditional family despite the government’s attempts to destroy it. Yale students in the audience asked tough questions, while graduate students held signs outside the auditorium that completely missed the point of what Santorum was attempting to convey.

According to the Yale Daily News:

“Tonight, Rick Santorum will take our university’s grandest stage and continue to spew ignorance and hate about all kinds of people, including many members of our community. He may be a guest on this campus with a right to voice his opinions, but that does not mean we have to listen,” the flier reads. “We will walk out and refuse to engage in this spectacle. We ask you to join us in sending a message to Santorum, the YPU and your fellow students that this attempt to legitimize ignorance and bigotry is unacceptable.”

Apparently, this group of students believe that a viewpoint different from their own is rooted in “ignorance and bigotry.” Their response? Refuse to listen and be informed. Ignorance.

It’s a good thing these protesters weren’t on Yale’s campus in Singapore.
