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.
No, I draw it from decades of living life and reading the news.
I remember my college days, when the loony left ran the politics of the place, because normal people were uninterested, beyond having a good laugh at their right-on craziness, that achieved precisely nothing.
Now social media puts their immature views front and center in our politics and their opinions are dragged ever further to the crazy left by professors who are not interested in being - or are even paid to be - unbiased in their teaching.

Who tells you their views are simplistic?
There's only so much you can articulate while being a random person in a crowd and not a millionaire who can spread his ideas as much as he wants.
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?
