disagreeing with something is part of discourse? booing is a practice as old as the practice of giving lectures in front of an audience. there's nothing 'newfangled' or 'woke' or 'scary' about booing something.
No, booing is not what is wrong.
I might myself boo at someone trying to glorify an AI-led future.
What is wrong is reporting the new student politics without the appropriate derision for the simplistic, biased views of students, and not condemning their simplistic, biased professors who inculcate only those biased views, who no longer teach students to respect and investigate other views, who instead teach them to violently deny people the right to air other views on campus.
“Hateful woke culture”? You know the “woke” people are on to something when their critics project their own flaws back onto “woke culture” as a means to delegitimize it.

You might have had a point before a certain someone got shot in the neck for saying stuff. You don't anymore.
"Hateful woke culture" is actually a pretty apt descriptor. I've never seen violence being so widely, publicly supported and it doesn't seem far fetched at all to point to the intolerance of ideas in college campuses as a precursor to it. Acceptance of violence as a result to speech is at historical highs: https://www.fire.org/news/student-acceptance-violence-respon...
I'm sorry, can you explain what the link with "woke" is in this video?

People used to treat angry-student politics and the views of the noisiest, angriest students with the correct amount of derision.
That stopped ( as seen here ).
And, worse, social media has let those angry students drive debate, which has led to the rise of the hateful woke.
And, still worse, students are no longer being educated to be critical but to accept one side and hate the other.
And you draw all these conclusions from a 1 minute clip?
Could it be that you are letting your own bias influence you?

“Woke” is a reaction to hateful culture.
“Hateful woke” is the modern “reverse racism”.
