I don't agree with freedom of inquiry replacing freedom of speech. Logically someone has to say something before one can inquire what they meant by it. If speech is censored, the inquiry is censored. Also, the audience member who organized the protest at the school was asking from which perspective what she did might be considered wrong. The simple answer is that she is attending the event and able to ask questions, something that by organizing the protest to cancel an event is an opportunity she denied others. If the opportunity is taken away, benefits arising from making use of such opportunities are also taken away. If all opportunity is removed, all benefits are removed and equality is achieved by no one deriving value from opportunities. If she benefited at all from attending the talk in any manner, that would be the benefit she dispossessed others of with her organizing.
