Eh, I felt the same way about it when Obama faced (much more) opposition to his speaking there 8 years ago. There were vocal protestors, planes flown with banners, a boycott, students that decorated their mortarboards in a specific manner in protest, all sorts of things. Apart from those that yelled during the ceremony in protest, I have no problems with any of it (th eplanes didn't fly during commencement, IIRC).
Personally, and I've had this discussion, the mortarboard decoration is my favorite avenue. Decorating it in such a way that when they are speaking you can either turn around or bow your head and the decoration will be displayed to the speaker. Enough people doing it is a striking effect and it makes a good statement.
