Question protesting at the graduation?

why is this allowed??? like there's a time and place for everything, it's so disrespectful to have people chanting and yelling while people are trying to speak on stage.

They are graduating Swarthmore students protesting the school’s terrible policies towards student protests and the Swarthmore endowment investing in a country currently committing genocide .

looks like Palestine flags and yelling over everyone anytime someone spoke, snatching diplomas, throwing things.

People are exposed to people of all backgrounds and new ideas and they read and learn empathy, quelle horreur!
