I'm surprised (not!) that somebody hasn't brought this issue up.

Free speech is one thing, security is another.
I could see this thing quickly disintegrating into at first a shouting match and than something much worse
The hostility is already in place and needs only to have someone light the fuse.
Debate this in Israel or Palestine
Nothing that could be said in our schools will change anything in Palestine or Israel to any great degree.
Should we be able to speak out Yes will it change things NO.

The issue here is not so much that the school decided not to allow him to speak but why they didn't allow him to speak. The concerns over security are legitimate. What is sad is that one group of trouble makers can effectively dictate policy through their actions. These violent protestors are limiting free speech and pushing their agenda the only way they know how - through violence. Welcome to the new Canada.
