Disobedience only means anything if it upsets somebody somewhere, preferably someone powerful.
So, if you decide to honor disobedient people, you accept it will carry some kind of consequence for yourself, or else you're full of it.
The MIT should definitely honor someone that the US government doesn't like, instead of, say, the Chinese government, as a matter of principle (and consistency).
