Yes, I read that. As you said, the law is still operant. This is not about normal law enforcement, this is about willingness to be more aggressive than the police normally would.

> to delay or disrupt class instruction or disrupt libraries or other traditional study locations

No, I do not think that it is reasonable for a child to be beaten or shot because someone delayed a class somewhere on campus (note that this does not even indicate that the harmed student must have been part of the demonstration).

> allow demonstrators to heckle or accost individual students

I do not think this is generally enforceable outside of a police state. And no, I do not consider it reasonable for a child to be beaten or shot because a person was "heckled" somewhere on campus.

I am using "beaten or shot" because that's always a likely event when "lawful force" is exercised in America.

> you want a loophole for them to get away with all of the above

No, I want to fall back on our existing laws, which have the benefit of decades/centuries of precedent, and which are enforced in more transparent fora.
