There's far more nuance than the headline suggests. He said he'd stop commencement specifically if the cops came to arrest people. He also asked no one shout down the president.

He did not request zero protest.

Wow, that's not just more nuance; that's nearly opposite meaning. Shame on CNN for their bullshit headline that goes beyond "clickbait" and all the way to "blatantly dishonest."

I see where you're at, but everything I mentioned is in the first paragraph of the article. It's not like it's buried.

Getting people to click with a lying headline and then giving them the truth after you've gotten their webtraffic is horrible journalism and corrosive to civil society

That makes a lot more sense

Thomas said the college would allow silent, non-disruptive protest, even students turning their chairs or theirs backs on Biden – which, he said, would embarrass him.

“As long as you don’t conduct yourselves in a way that deprives others from being able to participate, consume and celebrate this moment,” said Thomas, who has led Morehouse since 2018.

“Silent protests. You want to walk across the stage in a piece of garment that identifies your moral connection to either side of this conflict because we also have Jewish students here, you can do that.”

They'll be a lot of protests, but they'll keep it civil

Those are the protests that have the largest impact. The news won’t have the salacious hook of violations to report, so they’ll be forced to report on the content of the protest itself.
