The answer, of course, will depend on your moral axioms (and, for most real sets of moral axioms people adhere to, the exact nature of the conflict between moral axioms. Its very hard to find a way to "peacefully coexist" with someone for whom actions which are a direct and immediate threat to your own highest values are morally obligatory.)
Do I think the students that are the focus here are out of line? Sure. I think there is a real lack of balance, perspective, and proportion in their revealed values.
OTOH, I think that finding a loud minority of university students behaving in a sophomoric manner to be decidedly unsurprising.
