UC Berkeley orders cancellation of Ann Coulter speech
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | April 19, 2017 | Nanette Asimov

Posted on 04/19/2017 1:30:49 PM PDT by artichokegrower

Next week’s scheduled speech by right-wing pundit Ann Coulter at UC Berkeley is off — for now — because campus officials say they won’t be able to protect participants from rioting if it should happen.

"We have been unable to find a safe and suitable venue for your planned April 27 event featuring Ann Coulter," vice chancellors Scott Biddy and Stephen Sutton emailed the student groups co-hosting the event — the Berkeley College Republicans and BridgeUSA — Tuesday evening.

Perhaps it’s begun? And Berkely is just declared by Napolitano to be no-man’s land? I would posit that, as an institution of “higher learning” it is effectively dead now.

I remember the 60s when one rallying cry from the left was “censorship!” The irony.

UC Berkeley is a communist training center for the future advancement of commie creeps . They get what they deserve ,,, to live under the strong arm of a dictator . I can think of a few countries that should suit them just fine starting with N. Korea . Lights out at sun down and a small ration of rice .

We are forced to listen to left wing drivel in the movies, TV entertainment, TV news, popular music, in higher education, in PSA’s, from the Washington establishment, in PC cowerings from corporate America. God forbid someone from the right is merely made AVAILABLE to speak with an alternate view.

Why not just hire the Hell’s Angels from the adjacent town of Oakland to provide security.

Pay them in beer, they did that a lot back in the 1960’s.

The war has not begun. A war has two sides fighting each other. While it is true that the Left is fighting us, we have not returned the favor.

Berkeley recently started a course showing how great it would be if Israel were wiped off the face of the earth..Ann Coulter doesn’t need to go to a piece of crap school like that

How about if they just say anyone caught rioting will be expelled? Too harsh?
