Because they were adults. As I said I have 0 issue with the kids walking out (protesting) or audience members walking out; It's their ceremony. But a handful of faculty chose to make this graduation about them.
If you are just going to keep repeating yourself then I will just keep repeating myself.

I understand some people being sensitive about the people they support being protested, but to suggest that any type of protest at any time is improper is actually kind of scary. Blind obedience to authority leads to a lot of problems.
Maybe you need to brush up on American history before you accuse everyone who ever protests of not being an "adult". In fact it is often the WEAK who are afraid to take a stand.
Blind obedience to authority can be a problem.
