As a Hofstra alumnus, I was embarrassed by the rude treatment accorded graduation speaker and our guest, E. L. Doctorow. If some wish to remain close-minded to the obvious, that is their choice, no matter how unfortunate. However, there is no excuse for denying others the right to hear what he had to say, and for Mr. Doctorow to be able to say it. John Stuart Mills’ “Essay on Liberty” should be required reading for these boorish louts.
