College Republicans at UCLA have set a very dangerous precedent by inviting, then abruptly disinviting, the iconoclastic conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking on campus.
This capitulation by conservatives who ought to know better undermines the conservative movement and emboldens the anti-free speech campus Left. It is also disturbing proof of just how far politically correct dogma has penetrated conservative thinking. This morale-killing sellout comes 13 months after the night of Feb. 1-2, 2017, when leftist UC Berkeley students and Antifa thugs rioted to prevent Yiannopoulos from delivering a David Horowitz Freedom Center-sponsored speech demanding the end of “sanctuary campuses” that harbor illegal aliens.
