"Claremont McKenna acknowledged “that the blockade of the speech site ‘breached institutional values of freedom of expression and assembly.’” The right to protest Heather Mac Donald’s views on criminal justice and her criticisms of Black Lives Matter is the fruit of constitutional liberty; but as the school rightly contends, preventing others from listening to her speech is both a violation of school policy and an infringement on individual free speech."--Daniel Lauer |
For snowflakes who believe baseball bats and feces-balloons are an acceptable reaction to free speech, Adam Carolla & Dennis Prager offer Utopia University, where your children can be taught to think exactly as they are told:
No Safe Spaces
I needed that...but not this:
Trump supporters 'not welcome,' says new UCF 'Diversity Chair'
(College Fix Image)
The University of Central Florida Student Government Association has demonstrated their contempt for the First Amendment - not to mention more than sixty million ordinary Americans - by declaring that Trump supporters are not welcome on campus. In short, if you want your children to grow up as educated, tolerant, open-minded adults, don't send them to The University of Central Florida. On the other hand, if you want bigoted, ignorant thugs, CF might be just the spot for your kids.
Then there are the snowflakes who dressed up as NAZIs to attempt to silence conservative author Ann Coulter:
Those two idiots could have been "educated" at Evergreen State...methinks they should transfer to Utopia.
I nearly gave Dennis Prager's article a pass, but, given his strong conservative history, I simply had to read it. My education began with the realization that Mr. Prager loved music, and had a proud history of conducting symphony orchestras in Southern California.
I didn't know that.
Walt Disney Concert Hall
The second mental shock came from learning that leftist "professors" who are also musicians with the Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra, which has invited Prager to conduct the orchestra at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, are behind an effort to cancel Prager's participation in the event.
Here's Prager:
As I said, this is a new low for the illiberal left: It is not enough to prevent conservatives from speaking; it is now necessary to prevent conservatives from appearing even when not speaking. Conservatives should not even be allowed to make music.
To its great credit, the board of directors of the orchestra, composed of individuals of all political outlooks, has completely stood by its conductor and his invitation to me.
But the attempt to cancel me continues. It is being organized by three members of the orchestra, each of whom has refused to play that night. Readers will not be surprised to learn that two of the three organizers are college professors. Michael Chwe is a professor of political science at UCLA, and Andrew Apter is a professor of history at UCLA.
Unbelievable.

Bigotry Central, University of Central Florida
The newly appointed diversity chair of the University of Central Florida Student Government Association has stated that those who support President Trump are not welcome on campus.
New York Times best-selling author, columnist, and speaker Ann Coulter was participating in a panel discussion titled "Censorship on Campus" at Politicon, an annual "non-partisan" convention that brings people of all stripes together to see their favorite pundits, politicians and more.
But before she could get in a word, two protestors dressed as Nazis started shouting her down in an effort to silence her.
But some Leftist academics, for example, hate him so much they wish for assassination. Here's the latest example, as reported by The College Fix:“Trump is a f*cking joke. This is all a sham. I wish someone would just shoot him outright,” tweeted educator Kevin Allred from his personal account Friday night.
In an act to preserve free speech on college campuses, Claremont McKenna College in southern California will discipline seven students responsible for preventing an audience from hearing conservative speaker Heather Mac Donald talk in April.
According to Inside Higher Ed, five of the seven students responsible for the disruption will receive suspensions. In contrast, Middlebury College in Vermont issued punishments that fall short of suspensions for 67 students whose college policy violations ended in violence and intolerance towards social scientist Charles Murray and his opponent during a March debate. Writing in the Atlantic, Peter Beinart warns that violently shutting out speakers some students disagree with will easily lead to the “disaster” of intensely suppressing the free speech of fellow students with minority views.
Most Americans are at least somewhat aware of what is happening at American (and European) universities with regard to conservative speakers. Universities disinvite conservative speakers, never invite them or allow the violent (or threatened violent) prevention of them. No non-left-wing idea should be permitted on campus.
But we may have hit a new low.
