How many times has the excuse “it wouldn’t be safe” been used to shut down a speaker?

How many times has a speaker been assaulted or murdered on a US college campus in 40 years?

There is a chill wind on our college campuses.

I lived in Long Beach most of my life. The campus Left has ensured Jim Gilchrist is not free to speak at any university. That's their idea of open debate.

The President of your College’s best retort was “Whatever”? Wow. Talk about educated.

Did the man explain why he couldn’t get security into the building?

I mean, what’s so hard about rustling up some of the campus police to provide extra security for a few hours? I’m sure some of them would appreciate the overtime.

This sounds more like an attempt to silence unapproved speakers.

Either that, or the Left admits that their side is full of violent, uncontrollable hooligans and that no amount of security would’ve been enough. Of course, controversial Leftist speakers are okay, because everybody knows that conservatives have class and won’t start a riot just because we disagree.

Jim Gilchrist was scheduled to speak at my school, Long Beach City
College (LBCC) this afternoon today, 26 Nov but the president of
the school supposedly could not get security into the building to
ensure his safety, citing that he was too "controversial".

UCLA keeps Young Republican regional meetings off campus because
the administration demands that they PAY for "extra security".
Same sort of Bravo Sierra excuse to KILL DIVERSITY of opinion
at even publically-funded universities.

Gilchrist should just inform college/universities that he's
now a Muslim when scheduling appearances.

People bow and scrape when they think you might saw their head off
if they displease you.
(yes, I'm being A BIT facetious)
