Berkeley Invites Ann Coulter. Berkeley Cancels Ann Coulter. Berkeley Invites Ann Coulter, But

Free speech is not merely under attack at Berkeley, the students are attempting to inflict a death blow. First Amendment? They will have none of it. Ann Coulter, well known conservative speaker, was invited to Berkeley to speak on April 27th. Berkeley then announced arbitrary restrictions. She agreed. Berkeley then canceled her speech for 'security' concerns. She said she will appear anyway. Berkeley then said they will allow her to speak on May 2nd (when classes are out and no one is there). Coulter turned down the new date and repeated that she will speak on April 27th.

Coulter has dismissed security concerns as the reason for the cancellation. She labeled the protesters as "beta males" behind what could be "Rodney King riots" staged to protest a speech she has pledged to give next week at the University. Ann Coulter suggested that Berkeley, if they wanted to, could merely announce that anyone engaging in violence, mayhem or disrupting an invited speaker's speech will be expelled. They have not done so. The fascists, that wear black masks, that call everyone who disagrees with them fascists, have, once again, proven that the First Amendment is only for the left and any Conservative need not expect the same rights because they are 'fascists.' Make sense? The students are so well 'educated,' they don't even know what a fascist really is. It is worth mentioning that in prior riots, the Berkeley Police stood by and did almost nothing to stop the violence. In February, masked rioters at the school smashed windows, set fires, and shut down an appearance by Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos. Threats of violence cancelled a speech by writer David Horowitz. Writer Charles Murray's appearance at Middlebury saw riots in March and Heather McDonald's speech at Claremont McKenna College was streamed online this month after students blocked the door to the venue.

Howard Dean, former candidate for president, has said that "Hate speech is not protected by the first amendment." Who is to say what is hate speech? One person's hate speech could be another person's defense of liberty and justice. Dean obviously feels that his definition of hate speech is the standard, or is it Obama's, or possibly Hillary Clinton's or maybe Bernie Sanders'. What are these students being taught? What indoctrination are these young people receiving that makes them become zombie-like followers of anarchy and tyranny? What education are they acquiring when they are closed to any opinion other than their own? The students that take part in it, the University system that turns their back on it, the lawmakers that wink at it, and the police that allow it, must be stopped. It has gone on for far too long. If these students are our future, may God help us!
