AND, she didnt ban them from campus.. She banned them for having an office building on campus.

She had every right to stand up for her school's policy and for what is right. If people never stood up for what is right, nothing good would ever happen.
She obviously did not have every right to do it and that is why she lost unanimously when the case went to the Supreme Court.

In terms of "standing up for what is right" and "what is moral", that is completely subjective. If I am the Governor of California and I am opposed to abortion because I think it is immoral, should I try to shut down abortion clinics, even though abortion is legal in California?
