Christina Sommers, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and author of “Who Stole Feminism?” attempted to impart some wisdom to students at Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, Monday, but was met with a none-too-silent minority who decided some singing, chanting, and the old “human microphone” technique from Occupy Wall Street were in order.

Ooh, they look tough.
This is what happened when @CHSommers tried to start her lecture. pic.twitter.com/WJrQGAnmkA

Hey, this “human microphone” thing isn’t cult-like at all, is it?

This is a great clip as a student demands to have the speech halted and her question answered immediately.

Ha, I love the one normal student who says, "It's fairly common to have a speech and then have Q&A after, so this isn't out of the ordinary" https://t.co/pJZ5OfsaJc

Glad to see the number of students calling out their speech-silencing classmates. The Angry Left really are their own worst enemies. https://t.co/D0RyXr7jPN

If these petulant children had done 30 seconds of research, they would know that @CHSommers takes questions and celebrates engagement https://t.co/GAR2DRPaAf

Actually, it looks like most of the students there were prepared to hear Sommers’ speech, but of course, the minority couldn’t let her ideas be heard in an open forum, and certainly not on a law school campus.
Sad to watch college students behave like third graders, and believe they're doing anything but looking like foolish children. https://t.co/7dlUEOxbP6

When you build a "movement" on the crumbling and meaningless foundation of identity politics, this is your result –> https://t.co/Lj7BsmnMrW

The entitlement of these tossers. Not to mention the rudeness of course.
No understanding of anything outside their bubble. https://t.co/rWQufDBaHt

Get this:
Diversity Dean at Lewis & Clark was present.She approached podium in middle of my talk & asked me to wrap up my speech & take questions. I was never able to develop my argument.Shouldn’t the dean have insisted protesters allow me to finish, rather than cut speech short? https://t.co/1d43iDeo7P

Wow, the “diversity dean” wasn’t more helpful? SHOCKER.
Who taught these students to show such contempt for a free exchange of ideas? And why is their argument so weak that they are left heckling speakers instead of engaging them intellectually? The college should be embarrassed. https://t.co/kmXboKqJBi

Since Sommers’s speech was cut short, we’ll let her get in one really solid burn:
