I Spent A Year Living Next To Brown University, So This Doesn't Surprise Me. At Least The Speaker Was Paid In Advance.

The Brown protesters disgraced themselves and their school in silencing a selfless public servant who has done more in twelve years for New York's poorest neighborhoods than decades of the big government redistribution programs that the Brown hecklers most certainly support. Their behavior represents a failure of civic education and of basic manners, which Brown has apparently failed to correct. (Brown's president Christina Paxson rightly denounced the protesters' silencing of Kelly; too bad there was not adequate security to remove the hecklers before Kelly was so brutishly humiliated.) If the protesters' idea of policing takes hold, however, they better figure out a way to stay indefinitely in the safe bubble of their Providence campus. 

You should have heard what the Brown students had to say about Christianity.  Of course, they haven't had a real Episcopal chaplain in nearly fifty years.
