Why should they be kicked out? They are practicing their rights. The school allowed someone to come and speak, not everyone should be forced to listen to something that they don’t want to.

The speaker can say whatever she would like to but just because she is practicing her first amendment right, doesn’t mean she gets an audience.

Well, these professional schools are supposed to be repositories for exchanging of ideas as many treatments, diagnosis and protocols are still debated.

Are these students going to throw a temper tantrum when another clinician disagrees with them or an attending physician tells them are are wrong in their thoughts?

Negative Hoss. They are walking out on an educational opportunity, and that is unacceptable given their choice of career.

They are not given seats in their classroom to be political. Nor was the speaker there to discuss politics, the 10th Amendment, concepts of original intent, or Ginsberg's dilemma. She was there to aid in their education.

When/if they have a patient to which portions of the speaker's talk would have applied, they'll have one less arrow in the quiver to deal with the issue.

The Dean should drag their sorry asses into an auditorium, and tell them they have one of two choices. (1) Hear the lecture, or (2) Resign their spot in the class, and it will be filled with one of the 1000 or so excellent candidates who'd give their I-teeth to gain admission to a med school class.
