Regressive left fascistes decided they don't agree with someone, so they shut down free speech.

Sadly this seems to be what is being taught to kids at college, if you don't agree with someone, prevent them from exercising their right to free speech.

Regardless of whether or not you agree with someone, they have the right to free speech. Nobody benefits from colleges becoming one giant echo chamber.



A speech by right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos’ at UC Davis was over before it even started Friday after protests erupted, forcing sponsors to cancel the event.

Thirty minutes before the Breitbart tech editor was scheduled to speak, the UC Davis College Republicans canceled the controversial talk after consulting with the university’s police department and student affairs officials.

Former pharmaceutical executive, Martin Shkreli had also been scheduled to speak at the event.

“I am deeply disappointed with the events of this evening,” said Interim Chancellor Ralph J. Hexter.

“Our community is founded on principles of respect for all views, even those that we personally find repellent. As I have stated repeatedly, a university is at its best when it listens to and critically engages opposing views, especially ones that many of us find upsetting or even offensive.”

I know. Free speech was shut down in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy first in the universities. I guess that's where we are now.

Cultural Marxism is being rejected and the snowflakes don't like it.
See reaction to trump election for further evidence.
