Dan Savage, the gay advice columnist (who starte the "It Gets Better" effort) was talking to a bunch of young journalism students. They didn't want to hear the TRUTH about The Babble (as they say in the South).

I thought the whining about them being "bullied" was hilarious. When they're the ones doing it they call it their right to an "opinion" or "free speech". The expression "pansy assed" or having their magic book criticized doesn't remotely compare to the HELL they have put people through using the freedom of speech & religion excuse. If they can't take that imagine how they would react to actually experiencing what they've done to other people.

I haven't seen anywhere in the news where he called the Bible the "babble". Hopefully he didn't say something so crass.
Calling this group "young journalists" is being generous. A lot of the students attending this high school convention are simply on the yearbook committee! So to call the group "young journalists" is ridiculous.
Most likely, the hundred or so kids (out of over 2000) that walked out had assembled on a social media site prior to the speech. They most likely decided to walk if he brought up the Bible. So, when he did, they were out. Gee...high school kids being dramatic to get attention...a first? Hardly.

Rumor going around is that the walkout was planned in advance when he was announced as the guest speaker.

That would not surprise me in the least.

Maybe they didn't leave in protest. Maybe they left in shame.

They were talking about this on CNN yesterday. Apparently some parents were annoyed at the whole assembly.
