Question

Read the document "Brown University: Protests and Demonstration Guidelines," Why is obstructing the exchange of ideas or the movement of people during protests prohibited by these guidelines?

Answer 1

Answer:

Such obstructions are a form of censorship that also interfere with the right of others.

Explanation:

The policy guiding protests and demonstrations in Brown University mentioned that protests were accepted as a form of expression in the community. However, when this protest prevents others from expressing themselves, that would be a trampling of their rights and this is frowned upon by the University.

So, in a bid to express themselves, others should not be censored, that is, prevented from airing their own views. Interruptions of the speech of others were also viewed as an obstruction of their freedom of expression.
