If the university president denied the speaker the ability to speak on campus after being invited by a group of students, I would likely be yelling "defund them!" However, not properly quelling a riot? More in a grey area where I would not be comfortable defunding them. Too many variables there. But the threat of defunding, if nothing else, should make universities who receive federal funding sit up and take notice they need to protect all of their students' rights to free expression, even those they do not agree with.
Trump threatened withdrawal of dederal funding in a tweet. Berkeley gets over half of its funding from the federal government.
Given its clear disregard for free speech, and failure of the campus to protect all of its students, do you think the gov. Should pull out?
It would be a bad idea. UC-B didn't riot, people did. If the precident was set, then anyone could go riot and disrupt any organization and get it defunded.
I believe the better thing to do would be to leave peaceful protesters alone, and go HARD after rioters, and certainly don't reward rioters by doing their bidding on the activities they are protesting. I'm not a Trump fan, but I believe this is one area where he's pretty smart (really!) and would not do this. It will be counterproductive to his agenda.
No, and I am 100 percent on the side of UC Berkeley against this orange, insane vulgarian.
So you support mass vandalism, arson, and assault as response to what was going to be a PEACEFUL, honest, and humorous speech by Milo, someone who simply disagrees with you politically. Thats all we need to know about your "values" to dismiss whatever else you may have to add. Sufferers of Trump derangement syndrome need to look in the mirror at how ridiculous they appear.
This would be an "argument" liberals would resort to, but I'll give it a go anyways out of fairness. Why are you such a homophobic bigot?? The man giving the speech tour, Milo, is clearly and proudly gay. And liberals keep protesting and trashing his events? Disgusting..You should be more accepting. There, we can lump your crowd together too over identity politics without listening to whole stories.
no they don't. You are just part of the breibart US, you filter your world and believe it real. You peaked, you are already in decline but are too damn dumb to see it.
lol you're in denial their movement has very little support. Yes I quite assure UC does look very stupid to most of the country right now. There's like 3 people on this board alone that support it 3 people out of a 1000 lol. They're rioting like idiots just because of a speaker that they don't agree with. Not to mention he's a total flamer that likes black guys.

Do you know how stupid that makes them look?
Really.......on top of the fact he's not even American and he's playing them like a fiddle.
He is imo as ridiculous as the protestors. Pretty sad state of affairs regarding our college campuses.
Don't these kids have anything better to do, like mentor a kid living in poverty or collecting food for the homeless.
Yeah because we want people as stupid as Trump running around.
I'd love him to though, because he'd have every college student in the country marching on Washington bigly.
1. He has no grounds to do it.
2. Lol. Berkley can always con the students into putting the tuition on their credit cards. Trump should really really avoid the subject of universities and funding.
Yes! Trump really SHOULD create more chaos. It's working so well for him.

Whether anyone likes Trump's policies or not, allowing violent aggravated assault and property damage unpunished is immoral and criminal too.
Good luck with all that 'defunding'. At some point, Congress gets a say.
