AMHERST – When three conservatives sought to speak about freedom of speech at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, they drew shouted insults, apparently from students at the state's premier public university.
The event, billed as "The Triggering: Has Political Correctness Gone Too Far?" may have succeeded in proving its point, as people in the audience attempted to deny the speakers the chance to have their voices heard.
BOSTON – Protesters backing an amendment to increase funding for youth jobs programs were escorted out of the gallery in the House of Representatives during the budget debate Tuesday after they began chanting at lawmakers and displayed a banner reading, "What you fund can build or ruin lives."
The group, representing the Youth Jobs Coalition, then gathered at the entrance of the chamber, yelling, "Whose budget? Our budget!" and "What do we want? Youth jobs!"
