It will do absolutely no good to get this woman/organization off of campus. It will only empower their victimhood and they will forever spin it as censorship, and half the public will agree without knowing anything other than the name of the organization.

Long term vision isn't the hallmark of the cancel crowd.

So the president is siding with the protesters who committed actual violence over people only exercising their free speech rights who had the audacity to invite a mainstream politician to campus who doesn't support sex reassignment for minors. Honestly, this is absurd. The Board of Regents surely can't approve of this. I honestly don't know that I'm willing to support the university financially any more.

This is not what happened at all, the school said they support the trans community and said they don’t agree with the group’s public comments that said “trans people don’t exist”. The school also didn’t side with the protestors or violence and continues to support free speech.

This is so divorced from reality it's hard for me to even comprehend. One side has acted like complete lunatics, assaulting and spitting on people, the other tweeted something that hurt feelings. Which side does the president choose to make multiple media posts and statements condemning? We live in an insane bizarro world right now.

welcome to cancel culture, be praised for spitting on others who you disagree with, seems like both sides are lunatics but BOR/President side with one group.

Free Speech, but only if you agree with a certain groups opinion.

Imagine the outrage if a LGBTQ speaker came on campus and students and other activists (right-leaning) came out shouting down the speaker and yelling expletives. The group hosting the speaker would lose their shit and want them arrested.

Partisan politics has ruined freedom of speech since so many are now triggered by words, yet then resort to violence
