actually, to an extent, it IS anti-semitism, since you're essentially- regardless of which side of the pro-life/pro-choice debate you are on- saying the Holocaust was no worse than an individual murder- which implies that millions of jews being killed are equivalent to one non-jew being killed- ergo, anti-semitism.

That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? The group in question calls themselves Genocide Awareness Project - they see abortion as genocide, especially abortion among black people. So, they're not comparing an individual murder to the Holocaust, they are comparing what they see as, well, mass murder of unborn babies.

as fr people having a right to be shielded from all offense, no, they don't, but they DO have a right not to be subjected to distractions when they're trying to take exams. It's the possible disruption to the exams that is the issue, not people being offended as such.

It's a group of people staging a protest in one corner of the campus. If they're distracting you from your exam, don't go there. Don't listen to them, don't check their signs.

Honestly, that's just a flimsy excuse. If distraction during exam actually were a problem, then any kind of public event should consequently be forbidden during that time - protests, public speeches, fairs, concerts...
